(Elsevier, 2015-10)The present work investigates experimentally the behavior of compression ignition engine while boosting the combustion by enriching air-intake manifold with hydrogen supplement at the atmospheric condition. The study reports ... -
Identification of Novel MicroRNAs as Promising Therapeutics for SARS-CoV-2 by Regulating the EGFR-ADAM17 Axis: An In Silico Analysis
(American Chemical Society, 2021)Cancer patients contracting SARS-CoV-2 encounter additional challenges due to inflammatory bursts and lymphopenia, which may aggravate breast cancer prognosis. In this in-silico analysis, we identified the potential of ... -
Identification of Novel MicroRNAs Targeting SARS-CoV-2 through the Regulation of TMPRSS2/PI3K/AKT/PTEN Alignment in Lung Cancer: An in Silico Analysis
(American Chemical Society, 2021)In this study, we investigated the interactions between SARS-CoV-2 and miRNAs associated with lung cancer using bioinformatic approaches. A special focus was placed on TMPRSS2 and lung cancer progression pathways involving ... -
Identification of the Uncertainty Structure to Estimate the Acoustic Release of Chemotherapeutics From Polymeric Micelles
(IEEE, 2017)This paper estimates the acoustic drug release from micelles after accurately identifying the underlying statistical noise characteristics in experimental data. The drug release is measured as a change in fluorescence as ... -
Identifying Friction in a Nonlinear Chaotic System Using a Universal Adaptive Stabilizer
(IEEE, 2022-04)This paper proposes a friction model parameter identification routine that can work with highly nonlinear and chaotic systems. The chosen system for this study is a passively-actuated tilted Furuta pendulum, which is known ... -
Immunoliposomes: Synthesis, Structure, and Their Potential as Drug Delivery Carriers
(Bentham Science, 2020)Immunoliposomes have emerged as attractive drug targeting vehicles for cancer treatment. This review presents the recent advances in the design of immunoliposomes encapsulating a variety of chemotherapeutic agents. We ... -
Impact of Ionic Strength and Charge Density on Donnan Potential in the NaCl-Cation Exchange Membrane System
(MDPI, 2023)This work aims to theoretically investigate the effect of both the fixed charge density of ion exchange membranes and the ionic strength of the treated aqueous NaCl solution on the generated Donnan potential at thermodynamic ... -
Impacts of COVID-19 on the Use of Digital Technology in Construction Projects in the UAE
(MDPI, 2022)The construction industry has been incorporating digital technology over the last two decades, albeit gradually, as “technology-push” continues to overcome customary and traditional passivity typical in the sector. The ... -
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 ... -
In Vitro Evaluation of Ultrasound Effectiveness in Controlling Doxorubicin Release from Albumin-Conjugated Liposomes
(American Scientific Publishers, 2022)Functionalized liposomes are among the most promising antineoplastic agents delivery vehicles. Contemporaneous to their accretion at the tumor site, they need to be potentiated to release their cargo using a suitable ... -
