Modeling and Bias-Robust Estimation of the Acoustic Release of Chemotherapeutics from Liposomes
(American Scientific Publishers, 2019)
This paper models the acoustic drug release of chemotherapeutics from liposomes using a kinetic model that accounts for systematic biases affecting the drug delivery process. An optimal stochastic filter is then proposed ...
Rapid separation of bacteria from blood – Chemical aspects
(Elsevier, 2017)
To rapidly diagnose infectious organisms causing blood sepsis, bacteria must be rapidly separated from blood, a very difficult process considering that concentrations of bacteria are many orders of magnitude lower than ...
Ultrasound-Induced Calcein Release From eLiposomes
(Elsevier, 2012)
Ultrasound is explored as a method of inducing the release of encapsulated materials from eLiposomes, defined as liposomes containing emulsion droplets. Emulsions were formed using perfluorohexane and perfluoropentane. ...
Factors affecting sedimentational separation of bacteria from blood
(American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), 2019)
Rapid diagnosis of blood infections requires fast and efficient separation of bacteria from blood. We have developed spinning hollow disks that separate bacteria from blood cells via the differences in sedimentation ...
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 ...
Cytosolic Delivery of Doxorubicin from Liposomes to Multidrug-Resistant Cancer Cells via Vaporization of Perfluorocarbon Droplets
(MedCrave, 2017)
A common mechanism of multidrug resistance is the upregulation of efflux pumps in the cancer cells that can more rapidly export unwanted materials (e.g. cancer drugs) out of the cell, compared to sensitive cancer cells. ...
Robust Polynomial Classifier Using L1-norm minimization
(Springer, 2010)
In this paper we present a robust polynomial classifier based on L1-norm minimization. We do so by reformulating the classifier training process as a linear programming problem. Due to the inherent insensitivity of the ...
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 ...
Android mobile app for real-time bilateral Arabic sign language translation using leap motion controller
(IEEE, 2017)
This paper introduces an android mobile App for real-time bilateral Arabic sign language translation. The system is designed to operate on isolated sign language words. The mobile App has four main components; sign language ...
Non-Viral Gene Transfection with Ultrasound: Is 100% Transfection Possible?
(American Scientific Publishers, 2012)
Ultrasound has been used as a modality to enhance the transfection of cells, purportedly via entry of genetic material through defects in the cell membrane produced by bubble cavitation events. A mathematical model was ...
