Anti-cancer Drug Delivery Using Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) and Ultrasound.
(2016-05)
Cancer is defined as the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. Although billions of dollars have been spent on cancer research to develop its treatments, cancer still remains a major illness for mankind, partly due to the ...
Estimating the Transformer Health Index Using Artificial Intelligence Techniques
(2016-06)
Transformer Asset Management (TAM) is concerned with the strategic activities that monitor and manage the transformer asset in the power system. The outcomes of TAM aim at setting proper monitoring methods and maintenance ...
Autonomous Demand-Side Management in the Future Smart Grid
(2016-11)
Group Autonomous Demand-Side Management (ADSM) programs provide practical mechanisms to coordinate energy consumption to achieve smart grid-wide objectives, such as reducing the energy cost, reducing the Peak-to-Average ...
Effective Teachers of Academic Writing in an EFL Context: Students and Teachers Beliefs
(2016-01)
In the field on EFL academic writing, the teacher plays a pivotal role in the success of the learning process. This research aimed at investigating the characteristics that constitute an effective academic writing instructor, ...
A Navigation and Control System for a Robot in Indoor/Outdoor Environments
(2016-05)
This thesis presents an approach to solving the global navigation problem of wheeled mobile robots in indoor and outdoor environments. The presented solutions are based on probabilistic approaches. In outdoor environment, ...
Portable Electromagnetic Surface Profiling System
(2016-06)
Due to its potential accuracy and speed, the use of profiling and detection sensing systems has been gaining rapid popularity in the industry. Whether they are implemented in coordinate measurement machines or encoded in ...
Ultrasonic Drug Delivery Using Micelles and Liposomes
(Springer, 2016)
The encapsulation of drugs in nanocarriers revolutionized research in drug delivery, especially in cancer chemotherapeutics. Several nanosystems have been developed including liposomes, polymeric micelles, dendrimers, solid ...
INSPECT: A graphical user interface software package for IDARC-2D
(Elsevier, 2016)
Modern day Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering (PBEE) pivots about nonlinear analysis and its feasibility. IDARC-2D is a widely used and accepted software for nonlinear analysis; it possesses many attractive features ...
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 ...
