Detecting Double and Triple Compression in HEVC Videos Using the Same Bit Rate
(Springer, 2021)Digital video forensics refers to the process of analysing, examining, evaluating and comparing a video for use in legal matters. In digital video forensics, the main aim is to detect and identify video forgery to ensure ... -
Detection of frame deletion for digital video forensics
(Elsevier, 2013-12)The abundance of digital video forms a potential piece of evidence in courtrooms. Augmenting subjective assessment of digital video evidence by an automated objective assessment helps increase the accuracy of deciding ... -
Development and Characterization of Novel Composite and Flexible Electrode Based on Titanium Dioxide
(IEEE, 2020-06-11)Flexible implantable bioelectrodes have the potential to advance neural sensing and muscle stimulation, especially in peripheral nerve injuries. In such cases, the application of electrical stimulation to muscles prevents ... -
Development of a Flexible Framework Multi-Design Optimization Scheme for a Hand Launched Fuel Cell-Powered UAV
(MDPI, 2021)This paper presents different methods for the design of a hand-launchable, fixed wing, fuel cell-powered unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to maximize flight endurance during steady level flight missions. The proposed design ... -
Digital Twin Conceptual Model within the Context of Internet of Things
(MDPI, 2020)As the Internet of Things (IoT) is gaining ground and becoming increasingly popular in smart city applications such as smart energy, smart buildings, smart factories, smart transportation, smart farming, and smart healthcare, ... -
Distribution of Doxorubicin in Rats Undergoing Ultrasonic Drug Delivery
(Elsevier, 2010)Ultrasound (US) increases efficacy of drugs delivered from micelles, but the pharmacokinetics have not been studied previously. In this study, US was used to deliver doxorubicin (Dox) sequestered in micelles in an in vivo ... -
DNA damage induced by micellar-delivered doxorubicin and ultrasound: comet assay study
(Elsevier, 2000)To minimize adverse side effects of chemotherapy, we have developed a micellar drug carrier that retains hydrophobic drugs, and then releases the drug by ultrasonic stimulation. This study investigated the DNA damage induced ... -
Drug delivery in pluronic micelles: effect of high-frequency ultrasound on drug release from micelles and intracellular uptake
(Elsevier, 2002)The effect of high-frequency ultrasound on doxorubicin (DOX) release from Pluronic micelles and intracellular DOX uptake was studied for promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells, ovarian carcinoma drug-sensitive and multidrug-resistant ... -
Drug Delivery Systems Based on Polymeric Micelles and Ultrasound: A Review
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2016)Anti-neoplastic drugs used for cancer treatment often produce damage to healthy cells, leading to severe side effects in patients undergoing chemotherapy. The encapsulation of these agents in nanoparticles reduces the ... -
Dual-Targeting and Stimuli-Triggered Liposomal Drug Delivery in Cancer Treatment
(American Chemical Society, 2021)The delivery of chemotherapeutics to solid tumors using smart drug delivery systems (SDDSs) takes advantage of the unique physiology of tumors (i.e., disordered structure, leaky vasculature, abnormal extracellular matrix ... -
A Dynamic Optimal Battery Swapping Mechanism for Electric Vehicles using an LSTM-based Rolling Horizon Approach
(IEEE, 2022-01)This paper proposes a new approach for optimal operation of an Electric Vehicle (EV) battery-swapping station (BSS) based on Rolling-Horizon optimization (RHO). The BSS has several swapping bays such that each can accommodate ... -
Dynamics of a four-bar mechanism with clearance and springs - Modeling and experimental analysis
(Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers and Springer, 2017)This paper presents a study of the dynamic behavior of a planar four-bar mechanism with clearance. A spring is added to improve the dynamic response of the mechanism with clearance. Simulations and experimental tests are ... -
Economic Allocation of Reliability Growth Testing Using Weibull Distributions
(Elsevier, 2016-08)Reliability growth testing (RGT) has been widely used for assessing the reliability of complex systems in many industries such as automotive, aerospace, and oil and gas industry. The traditional common and practiced approach ... -
EEG-Based Semantic Vigilance Level Classification Using Directed Connectivity Patterns and Graph Theory Analysis
(IEEE, 2020)This paper proposes two novel methods to classify semantic vigilance levels by utilizing EEG directed connectivity patterns with their corresponding graphical network measures. We estimate the directed connectivity using ... -
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 ... -
Effect of High-Frequency Ultrasound on Targeted Liposomes
(American Scientific Publishers, 2022)Delivering highly toxic drugs inside a safe carrier to tumors while achieving a controlled and effective drug release at the targeted sites represents an attractive approach to enhance drug efficiency while reducing its ... -
The effect of pegylation and targeting moieties on the ultrasound-mediated drug release from liposomes
(ACS Publications, 2019)The use of targeted liposomes encapsulating chemotherapy drugs enhances the specific targeting of cancer cells, thus, reducing the side effects of these agents and providing a more patient-friendly treatment. Targeted ... -
