Selective removal of dual dyes from aqueous solutions using Metal Organic Framework (MIL-53(Al))
(Elsevier, 2020)
The adsorption process of the cationic dye Malachite Green (MG) and the anionic dye Methyl Orange (MO) onto a MOF, namely, MIL-53(Al) was studied under several experimental parameters. Batch experiments were performed to ...
Recursive Quad-Tree Block Partitioning for Data Embedding in Images
(Springer, 2020)
In this paper, we propose to embed messages in raw images using a recursive block partitioning technique adopted from HEVC video coding technology. This work introduces a quad-tree partitioning solution in which square ...
Photocatalytic demulsification of oil/water emulsions containing nonionic surfactant
(Springer, 2020-11)
Separation of oil-water (OW) emulsions is investigated using a photocatalytic demulsification approach. Experiments were conducted using two types of photocatalysts, namely, ZnO and TiO2. The emulsion samples were prepared ...
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 ...
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, ...
Parametric Study of a Single Effect Lithium Bromide-Water Absorption Chiller Powered by a Renewable Heat Source
(SDEWES, 2020)
This work investigates the performance of a single-effect absorption chiller utilizing an aqueous lithium bromide solution as the working fluid and driven by hot fluid rejected from either a geothermal power plant or the ...
Enhancement of SAR Speckle Denoising Using the Improved Iterative Filter
(IEEE, 2020)
The recent advancement in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology has enabled high-resolution imaging capability that calls for efficient speckle filtering algorithms to preprocess radar imagery. Since the introduction ...
Serviceability and Flexural Behavior of Concrete Beams Reinforced with Basalt Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (BFRP) Bars Exposed to Harsh Conditions
(MDPI, 2020)
The main objective of this study was to investigate experimentally and numerically the behavior of basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) reinforcement exposed to a combination of ultraviolet rays, humidity, and rain. ...
Polarimetric SAR Speckle Reduction by Hybrid Iterative Filtering
(IEEE, 2020)
Speckle filtering in synthetic aperture radar polarimetry (PolSAR) is essential for the extraction of significant information. In this study, the authors introduced a hybrid iterative filtering scheme. The proposed iterative ...
