Incorporating Computer-Aided Software in the Undergraduate Chemical Engineering Core Courses
(Chemical Engineering Education, 2014)Introductions of computer-aided software and simulators are implemented during the sophomore-year of the chemical engineering (ChE) curriculum at the American University of Sharjah (AUS). Our faculty concurs that software ... -
Incorporating nanoparticles in 3D printed scaffolds for bone cancer therapy
(Elsevier, 2023)The low occurrence rate of bone cancer contributes to delayed diagnosis and treatment; in addition, the surgical resection of bone tumors can cause significant bone defects, further hindering the effective treatment of the ... -
Influence of Foundation Rigidity on the Structural Response of Mat Foundation
(Hindawi Limited, 2021)A mat is a type of shallow foundation that is appropriate for structures supported on soil having relatively low bearing capacity or excessive settlement. Structural analysis of a mat foundation can be accomplished by ... -
INSPECT-PBEE: a performance-based earthquake engineering GUI for IDARC-2D
(Elsevier, 2019)Designs that are performance and functionality driven typically mandate the nonlinear analysis. Up To date, nonlinear analysis remains a sophisticated tool that may not appeal to majority of structural/earthquake practicing ... -
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 ... -
An Integrated Building Information Model (iBIM) for Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures
(International Conference on Computing in Civil and Building Engineering (ICCCBE), 2018-06)The architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry involve many disciplines during the life cycle of the building from its conception to its demolition. The civil engineering discipline has many domains related ... -
Internet of things based multi-sensor patient fall detection system
(National Center for Biotechnology Information, 2019)Accidental falls of patients cannot be completely prevented. However, timely fall detection can help prevent further complications such as blood loss and unconsciousness. In this study, the authors present a cost-effective ... -
Intracellular uptake of Pluronic copolymer: effects of the aggregation state
(Elsevier, 2002)The effect of the Pluronic P-105 aggregation state on its uptake by HL-60 cells was studied by flow cytometry, fluorescence spectroscopy, and confocal and fluorescence microscopy using a fluorescently labeled Pluronic P105. ... -
Investigating Tensile Behavior of Sustainable Basalt–Carbon, Basalt–Steel, and Basalt–Steel-Wire Hybrid Composite Bars
(MDPI, 2021)One of the main disadvantages of steel bars is rebar corrosion, especially when they are exposed to aggressive environmental conditions such as marine environments. One of the suggested ways to solve this problem is to use ... -
Investigating the acoustic release of doxorubicin from targeted micelles
(Elsevier, 2013)The main problem associated with the administration of anti-cancer medication is that the drug is delivered throughout the body causing undesirable side effects. Therefore, it is important to synthesize drug carriers capable ... -
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 ... -
Investigating the mechanism of acoustically activated uptake of drugs from Pluronic micelles
