Land Use/Land Cover Changes Impact on Groundwater Level and Quality in the Northern Part of the United Arab Emirates
(MDPI, 2020)This study aims to develop an integrated approach for mapping and monitoring land use/land cover (LULC) changes and to investigate the impacts of LULC changes and population growth on groundwater level and quality using ... -
LC Impedance Source Bi-Directional Converter with Reduced Capacitor Voltages
(MDPI, 2020)This paper proposes an LC (Inductor and Capacitor) impedance source bi-directional DC–DC converter by redesigning after rearranging the reduced number of components of a switched boost bi-directional DC–DC converter. This ... -
Lessons learned from the underrepresentation of women in STEM: AI-enabled solutions and more
(Elsevier, 2021)The absence of women in STEM and energy sectors is driven by discrimination and socio-cultural factors. A greater number of women “leak out” from Energy and STEM fields than men. AI-enabled solutions offer analysis tools ... -
Liposomal Encapsulation of Chemotherapeutics Agents Combined with the Use of Ultrasound in Cancer Treatment
(American Scientific Publishers, 2023-07)Ultrasound (US) has numerous uses in the medical field, including imaging, tumor ablation, and lithotripsy; another interesting application of US in cancer therapy is as an external trigger in targeted drug delivery. ... -
Liposomes as a Promising Ultrasound-Triggered Drug Delivery System in Cancer Treatment
(Bentham Science, 2017)The initial uses of ultrasound waves in the medical field were limited to the thermal ablation of solid tumors and as a diagnostic tool. Recent advances at the preclinical stage have allowed the use of ultrasound as a ... -
Liposomes for the Treatment of Brain Cancer — A Review
(MDPI, 2023-06-25)Due to their biocompatibility, non-toxicity, and surface-conjugation capabilities, liposomes are effective nanocarriers that can encapsulate chemotherapeutic drugs and facilitate targeted delivery across the blood–brain ... -
Liposomes in Active, Passive and Acoustically-Triggered Drug Delivery
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2019)Cancer has become one of the most deadly noncommunicable diseases globally. Several modalities used to treat cancer patients exist today yet many have failed to prove high efficacy with low side effects. The most common ... -
Long-term field performance of concrete produced with powder waste glass as partial replacement of cement
(Elsevier, 2021)This paper reports the long-term field and laboratory-tested performance of concrete produced with 20 wt% replacement of cement with powder waste glass (WG). Field investigations of WG concrete were carried out in a ... -
Low-Cost Reduced Navigation System for Mobile Robot in Indoor/Outdoor Environments
(IEEE Access, 2020)This paper presents a low-cost based approach for solving the navigation problem of wheeled mobile robots to perform required tasks within indoor and outdoor environments. The presented solution is based on probabilistic ... -
Machine learning and structural health monitoring overview with emerging technology and high-dimensional data source highlights
(Sage Publishing, 2021)Conventional damage detection techniques are gradually being replaced by state-of-the-art smart monitoring and decision-making solutions. Near real-time and online damage assessment in structural health monitoring (SHM) ... -
Mapping of Embedded Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes in Poly(vinyl alcohol)/Nanotube Composite Using Electrostatic Force Microscopy
(Taylor & Francis, 2012)In the present study, electrostatic force microscopy (EFM) was used as a nondestructive tool for mapping individual functionalized single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) incorporated in a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/CNT ... -
Mathematical modeling of microbubble cavitation at 70 kHz and the importance of the subharmonic in drug delivery from micelles
(Elsevier, 2013)In order to gain insight into the experimental observation of ultrasound-induced release of drugs from micelles, we modeled the dynamic oscillations of a 10-μm-diameter bubble insonated at 70 kHz. The Parlitz modification ... -
Matrix Encoding for Data Hiding Using Multilayer Video Coding and Transcoding Solutions
(Elsevier, 2012)This paper proposes a multitier data hiding solution in MPEG video using matrix encoding. In the first tier of the proposed solution, raw video is encoded into two layers using multilayer Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) encoding. ... -
Maximum-Service Channel Assignment in Vehicular Radar-Communication
(IEEE Access, 2021)Spectrum sharing between different technologies has become a necessity as the RF spectrum has become more congested than ever due to the increasing number of connected devices and applications all wishing to access the ... -
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 ... -
