Selective removal of dual dyes from aqueous solutions using Metal Organic Framework (MIL-53(Al))
(Elsevier, 2020)The adsorption process of the cationic dye Malachite Green (MG) and the anionic dye Methyl Orange (MO) onto a MOF, namely, MIL-53(Al) was studied under several experimental parameters. Batch experiments were performed to ... -
Fluorescent aminal linked porous organic polymer for reversible iodine capture and sensing
(Nature, 2020)A novel triazene-anthracene-based fuorescent aminal linked porous organic polymer (TALPOP) was prepared via metal free-Schif base polycondensation reaction of 9,10-bis-(4,6-diamino-S-triazin2-yl)anthracene and 2-furaldehyde. ... -
FPGA-Based Network Traffic Classification Using Machine Learning
(IEEE Xplore, 2020)Real-time classification of internet traffic is critical for the efficient management of networks. Classification approaches based on machine learning techniques have shown promising results with high levels of accuracy. ... -
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 ... -
Shear Strength of Fiber Reinforced Recycled Aggregate Concrete
(MDPI, 2020)In this paper, shear strength of fiber reinforced recycled concrete was investigated. A Self Consolidated Concrete (SCC) matrix with 100% coarse recycled aggregate and different types of fibers were used in the study. Steel ... -
Recursive Quad-Tree Block Partitioning for Data Embedding in Images
(Springer, 2020)In this paper, we propose to embed messages in raw images using a recursive block partitioning technique adopted from HEVC video coding technology. This work introduces a quad-tree partitioning solution in which square ... -
Scale-Up of Self-Regenerating Semi-Batch Adsorption Cycles through Concurrent Adsorption and Reduction of Cr(VI) on Sheep Wool
(MDPI, 2020)A previous publication by our group reported that adsorption of Cr(VI) on sheep wool reached 99% when allowed a long residence time, with concurrent reduction to Cr(III). In this study, the process was scaled up by optimizing ... -
Thermal Conductivities of Choline Chloride-Based Deep Eutectic Solvents and Their Mixtures with Water: Measurement and Estimation
(MDPI, 2020)The thermal conductivities of selected deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were determined using the modified transient plane source (MTPS) method over the temperature range from 295 K to 363 K at atmospheric pressure. The results ... -
Supercapacitor Characterization Using Universal Adaptive Stabilization and Optimization
(IEEE, 2020-07)This paper presents a simplified supercapacitor model and a universal adaptive stabilization, optimization (UAS+O) based parameter identification technique. Analytic solutions for the description of supercapacitors current, ... -
Factors Affecting the Acoustic In Vitro Release of Calcein from PEGylated Liposomes
(American Scientific Publishers, 2019)Typical methods used in cancer treatment, including chemotherapy, are debilitating because of the various adverse side effects experienced by cancer patients. The free drug injected into the patient at given doses affects ... -
Modeling and Bias-Robust Estimation of the Acoustic Release of Chemotherapeutics from Liposomes
(American Scientific Publishers, 2019)This paper models the acoustic drug release of chemotherapeutics from liposomes using a kinetic model that accounts for systematic biases affecting the drug delivery process. An optimal stochastic filter is then proposed ... -
Measuring the Acoustic Release of a Chemotherapeutic Agent from Folate-Targeted Polymeric Micelles
(American Scientific Publishers, 2018)In this paper, we compare the use of Bayesian filters for the estimation of release and reencapsulation rates of a chemotherapeutic agent (namely Doxorubicin) from nanocarriers in an acoustically activated drug release ... -
Synergistic Nanomedicine: Passive, Active, and Ultrasound-Triggered Drug Delivery in Cancer Treatment
(American Scientific Publishers, 2015)Nanocarriers are heavily researched as drug delivery vehicles capable of sequestering antineoplastic agents and then releasing their contents at the desired location. The feasibility of using such carriers stems from their ... -
Investigating the Fluorescence Quenching of Doxorubicin in Folic Acid Solutions and Its Relation to Ligand-Targeted Nanocarriers
(American Scientific Publishers, 2015)Folic acid (FA) is one of the most utilized moieties in active (ligand) drug delivery. The folate receptor is widely expressed on the surface of several cell lines and tumors; including ovarian, brain, kidney, breast, and ... -
Kinetics of Ultrasonic Drug Delivery from Targeted Micelles
(American Scientific Publishers, 2015)To minimize the adverse side effects of conventional chemotherapy, a targeted micellar drug carrier was investigated that retains hydrophobic drugs in its core and then releases the drug via ultrasonic activation. This ... -

Non-Viral Gene Transfection with Ultrasound: Is 100% Transfection Possible?
(American Scientific Publishers, 2012)Ultrasound has been used as a modality to enhance the transfection of cells, purportedly via entry of genetic material through defects in the cell membrane produced by bubble cavitation events. A mathematical model was ... -
Multifunctional Nanovehicles for Combined 5-Fluorouracil and Gold Nanoparticles Based on the Nanoprecipitation Method
(American Scientific Publishers, 2011)To facilitate the administration of combined 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) and gold nanoparticles (for photothermal treatment purposes), we developed 5-FU-gold-poly(lactide-co-glycolic acid) (5-FU-Au- PLGA) nanovehicles, via the ... -
Preliminary Results of Combining Low Frequency Low Intensity Ultrasound and Liposomal Drug Delivery to Treat Tumors in Rats
(American Scientific Publishers, 2011)Ultrasound is a convenient trigger for site-specific drug delivery in cancer therapy. Nanosized liposomes formulated from soy phosphatidyl choline, cholesterol, 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero- 3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[carboxy ... -
Possible Physical Mechanisms of tRNA Pre-Selection in the Cytoplasm of Escherichia coli Bacteria
(American Scientific Publishers, 2010)In a previous publication, we used kinetic models to simulate the physical movement ofthe transfer RNA (tRNA) in the cytoplasm of Escherichia coli and concluded that tRNA molecules are not able to approach the ribosome by ...
