Preliminary Modeling of Transfer RNA Kinetics in the Cytoplasm of Escherichia coli Bacteria
(American Scientific Publishers, 2010)
Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) can recognize a specific amino acid from a possible pool of 20. Theyare able to transport these protein building-blocks to the ribosome, the site where amino acids assemble into protein chains. Accurate ...
Possible Physical Mechanisms of tRNA Pre-Selection in the Cytoplasm of Escherichia coli Bacteria
(American Scientific Publishers, 2010)
In a previous publication, we used kinetic models to simulate the physical movement ofthe transfer RNA (tRNA) in the cytoplasm of Escherichia coli and concluded that tRNA molecules are not able to approach the ribosome by ...
Strengthening of thin reinforced concrete slabs with CFRP laminates
(International Conference on Advanced Composite Materials in Bridges and Structures, 2016)
Over the years, engineers and researchers have been working continuously to reduce the dead loads on buildings by reducing the sizes of structural elements. Slabs add significant dead load to buildings compared to other ...
Carbohydrate-Functionalized Liposomes In Cancer Therapy
(Bentham Science, 2020)
Existing cancer treatments are often accompanied by adverse side effects that can greatly reduce the quality of life of cancer patients; this sets the platform for the development and application of nanocarrier-based ...
Ultrasound-Mediated Drug Delivery in Cancer Therapy: A Review
(American Scientific Publishers, 2020)
The use of ultrasound as a medical diagnostic tool began in the 1940s. Ever since, the medical applications of ultrasound have included imaging, tumor ablation, and lithotripsy; however, an ever-increasing body of literature ...
Ultrasound-induced doxorubicin release from folate-targeted and non-targeted P105 micelles: a modeling study
(De Gruyter, 2016)
The aim of this work is to study the kinetics of ultrasound (70 kHz) – using a kinetic model that takes into account cavitation events and drug re-encapsulation upon the cessation of the acoustic field. The simulation ...
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 ...
Investigating the Release Mechanism of Calcein from eLiposomes at Higher Temperatures
(American Scientific Publishers, 2014)
Numerous nanocarriers are currently being investigated as drug delivery vehicles for transporting chemotherapeutics to cancer cells. Our research group has recently synthesized a new generation of echogenic liposomes based ...
Data Embedding in HEVC Video by Modifying the Partitioning of Coding Units
(Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2019-07)
This paper proposes a data embedding solution in HEVC videos by modifying the partitioning of Coding Units (CUs). The partitions of a CU are first represented as a sequence of binary flags. The flags pertaining to 16x16 ...
MPEG-2 to HEVC Video Transcoding With Content-Based Modeling
(IEEE, 2013)
This paper proposes an efficient MPEG-2 to HEVC video transcoder. The objective of the transcoder is to migrate the abundant MPEG-2 video content to the emerging HEVC video coding standard. The transcoder introduces a ...
