Improving the Efficacy of Anticancer Drugs via Encapsulation and Acoustic Release
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2018)
Conventional chemotherapeutics lack the specificity and controllability, thus may poison healthy cells while attempting to kill cancerous ones. Newly developed nano-drug delivery systems have shown promise in delivering ...
Cryogenic Drilling of AZ31 Magnesium Syntactic Foams
(MDPI, 2020)
Machined surface quality and integrity affect the corrosion performance of AZ31 magnesium composites. These novel materials are preferred for temporary orthopedic and vascular implants. In this paper, the drilling performance ...
TCAD Simulation and Analysis of Selective Buried Oxide MOSFET Dynamic Power
(MDPI, 2019)
Low power consumption has become one of the major requirements for most microelectronic devices and systems. Increasing power dissipation may lead to decreasing system effciency and lifetime. The BULK metal oxide semiconductor ...
Microbial Desalination Cells Technology: A Review and a Case Study
(Elsevier, 2015-03)
The microbial desalination cell (MDC) is a newly-developed technology which integrates the microbial fuel cell (MFC) process and electrodialysis for wastewater treatment, water desalination and production of renewable ...
Anticipated Discrimination, Choices, and Performance: Experimental evidence
(American University of Sharjah, 2018)
This paper studies experimentally anticipated discrimination across gender, hiring patterns, and performance in tasks with different stereotypes in a labor-market setting. Participants are assigned to a seven-people group ...
Reliability Centered Maintenance Actions Prioritization Using Fuzzy Inference Systems
(Emeraldinsight, 2016)
Reliability centered maintenance (RCM) is a systematic maintenance philosophy/approach used to analyze system's performance in terms of the impact of a potential failure and select the most efficient maintenance tasks along ...
A Unified Approach for Probability of Detection Evaluation over Generalised Fading Channels
(Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2016)
In this paper, we revisit energy detection-based spectrum sensing cognitive radio systems operating over generalised fading channels. In particular, we derive closed-form exact expressions as well as lowand high-signal-to-noise ...
Use of Aluminum Alloy Plates as Externally Bonded Shear Reinforcement for R/C Beams
(Elsevier, 2019)
Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) and steel had proven to be very effective as externally bonded shear strengthening materials However, they both have their shortcomings. Recently developed high strength Aluminum Alloy (AA) ...
Corrosion Inhibition of Mild Steel using Fig Leaves Extract in Hydrochloric Acid Solution
(ResearchGate, 2011)
The inhibition effect of Fig leaves extract on corrosion of mild steel in 2M acid solution was investigated using traditional weight loss measurements and various electrochemical techniques. Corrosion inhibition efficiency ...
Microbial Desalination Cell (MDC) in the Presence of Activated Carbon
(American Scientific Publishers, 2014-10)
This report studies the performance of a Microbial Desalination Cell (MDC) in the presence ofactivated carbon in both the cathode and anode chambers. The large surface area of the activatedcarbon provides surface for ...
