Investigation and Mathematical Modeling of Acoustic Release of Doxorubicin from Micelles
(2020-05)
Given the growing concern over the increasing number of people diagnosed with cancer and the high prevalence of unwanted side effects associated with chemotherapy on healthy tissues, this thesis aims to provide better, ...
Comparison of Whole-class Discussion and Task-based Activity: A Small-Scale Study
(2020-05)
This study examined the participation patterns and effectiveness of two different sets of materials applied with two different treatments: Treatment 1 consisted of a Task-based activity; Treatment 2 used a whole-class ...
Discourse Effects on the Acquisition of the English Causative Forms: Structured Input vs. Structured Output Practice.
(2020-05)
This research presents the results of a quasi-experimental empirical study investigating the effects of structured input activities and structured output tasks on the acquisition of English causative forms. The study is ...
In-Vitro Degradation of Hollow Silica Reinforced Magnesium Syntactic Foams in Different Simulated Body Fluids for Biomedical Applications
(MDPI, 2020)
This article reports the mechanical and biocorrosion behaviour of hollow silica nanosphere (SiO₂) reinforced (0.5–2 vol.%) magnesium (Mg) syntactic foams. Room temperature tensile properties’ characterization suggests that ...
Behavioral Modeling of GaN Doherty Power Amplifiers Using Memoryless Polar Domain Functions and Deep Neural Networks
(IEEE, 2020)
In this paper, novel Doherty Power Amplifier (DPA) models are presented. The motivation behind the proposed models is to accurately predict static nonlinearities in the compression regions of the carrier and peaking ...
A Comprehensive Method of Ion Exchange Resins Regeneration and Its Optimization for Water Treatment
(IntechOpen, 2020-08)
Ion exchange membranes, specifically resin technology, lie at the heart of electrolytically conductive systems used in the treatment of wastewater. This chapter deals with ion exchange deionization and the effect of resin ...
Effect of Aggregate Type and Specimen Configuration on Concrete Compressive Strength
(MDPI, 2020)
In this paper, concrete mixes utilizing two sizes of natural aggregate and two sources of lightweight and recycled aggregates were used to investigate the effect of aggregate type and specimen size and shape on the compressive ...
Suppressing the Capacitor Voltage Fluctuations in Low Frequency Operation of Modular Multilevel Converters
(IEEE, 2020)
Lowfrequency operation in the modular multilevel converters (MMCs) is enabled by applying a reference common mode voltage and circulating currents at a frequency much higher than the desired output frequency. The frequency ...
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 ...
On the Role of Hollow Aluminium Oxide Microballoons during Machining of AZ31 Magnesium Syntactic Foam
(MDPI, 2020)
The role played by hollow ceramic thin-walled aluminium oxide microballoons on the shear deformation characteristics of AZ31 Magnesium syntactic foam is studied through high-speed machining. The ceramic microballoons ...
