Effect of nickel loading on hydrogen production and chemical oxygen demand (COD) destruction from glucose oxidation and gasification in supercritical water
(2010-05)Gasification and partial oxidation of 0.25 molar glucose solution was conducted over different metallic nickel (Ni) loadings (7.5, 11, and 18 wt%) on different catalyst supports (θ-Al2O3 and γ-Al2O3) in supercritical water. ... -
The effect of pegylation and targeting moieties on the ultrasound-mediated drug release from liposomes
(ACS Publications, 2019)The use of targeted liposomes encapsulating chemotherapy drugs enhances the specific targeting of cancer cells, thus, reducing the side effects of these agents and providing a more patient-friendly treatment. Targeted ... -
Effect of pH, ultrasound frequency and power density on the release of calcein from stealth liposomes
(De Gruyter, 2016)The use of liposomes as carriers for chemotherapeutic agents in combination with ultrasound as a stimulus to control the time and space of the drug release is a promising approach for cancer treatment, as it can reduce the ... -
Effect of phospholipid head group on ultrasound‑triggered drug release and cellular uptake of immunoliposomes
(Nature, 2023)Liposomes are the most successful nanoparticles used to date to load and deliver chemotherapeutic agents to cancer cells. They are nano-sized vesicles made up of phospholipids, and targeting moieties can be added to their ... -
The Effect of Treated Waste-Water on Compaction and Compression of Fine Soil
(World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, 2016)The main objective of this paper is to study the effect of treated waste-water (TWW) on the compaction and compressibility properties of fine soil. Two types of fine soils (clayey soils) were selected for this study and ... -
The Effect of Ultrasound on the Drug Delivery of RGD-Targeted Liposomes
(2018-05)Approaches used to treat cancer, with the most prominent being chemotherapy, have detrimental effects on patients’ health. Doxorubicin, a chemotherapeutic agent, alters normal cellular functions and can cause many fatal ... -
Effect of Vehicle-Parapet Collision Forces on Bridge Girders, Bracings, and Support Bearings
(2022-06)To account for the load effect due to vehicle collision with the parapet, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Bridge Design Specifications contain provisions that ensure structural ... -
An Effective Anticancer Nano-approach for Melanoma and Breast Cancers Using Annona muricate Gold Nanoparticles
(Acta Scientific, 2021-09)Chemotherapy is preferred for the treatment and management of cancer; however, its efficacy is hindered by the off-target side effects of the currently used synthetic drugs. Thus, anticancer drugs with higher safety and ... -
Effective Approach for Increasing the Heteroatom Doping Levels of Porous Carbons for Superior CO2 Capture and Separation Performance
(ACS Publications, 2017-09-28)Development of efficient sorbents for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture from flue gas or its removal from natural gas and landfill gas is very important for environmental protection. A new series of heteroatom-doped porous ... -
