The use of ultrasound to release chemotherapeutic drugs from micelles and liposomes
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)Several drug delivery systems have been investigated to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy by encapsulating the therapeutic agent in a nanosized carrier until it reaches the tumor site. Many of these particles are ... -
User-independent recognition of Arabic sign language for facilitating communication with the deaf community
(Elsevier, 2011)This paper presents a solution for user-independent recognition of isolated Arabic Sign language gestures. The video based gestures are preprocessed to segment out the hands of the signer based on color segmentation of the ... -
Using Artificial Neural Networks and Model Predictive Control to Optimize Acoustically Assisted Doxorubicin Release from Polymeric Micelles
(SAGE Publications, 2009)We have been developing a drug delivery system that uses Pluronic P105 micelles to sequester a chemotherapeutic drug - namely, Doxorubicin (Dox) - until it reaches the cancer site. Ultrasound is then applied to release the ... -
Using C++ to Calculate SO(10) Tensor Couplings
(MDPI, 2021-10-04)Model building in SO(10), which is the leading grand unification framework, often involves large Higgs representations and their couplings. Explicit calculations of such couplings is a multi-step process that involves ... -
Using Linear Regression and Back Propagation Neural Networks to Predict Performance of Soiled PV Modules
(Elsevier, 2019)This paper presents a study on neural network-based modeling techniques and sensor data to estimate the power output of photovoltaic systems under soiling conditions. Predicting maximum power output under soiling conditions ... -
Variation in cooling performance of a bio-based phase change material by adding graphene nanoplatelets with surfactants
(Elsevier, 2022)In this paper, thermal characteristics of various phase change materials induced with additives and surfactants are studied to enhance cooling properties and chemical stability. In this regard, graphene nanoplatelets at ... -
Video-Based Recognition of Human Activity Using Novel Feature Extraction Techniques
(MDPI, 2023-06-05)This paper proposes a novel approach to activity recognition where videos are compressed using video coding to generate feature vectors based on compression variables. We propose to eliminate the temporal domain of feature ... -
Vigilance Decrement and Enhancement Techniques: A Review
(MDPI, 2019)This paper presents the first comprehensive review on vigilance enhancement using both conventional and unconventional means, and further discusses the resulting contradictory findings. It highlights the key differences ...
