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 ...
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 ...
External strengthening of shear deficient reinforced concrete beams with flexural CFRP laminates
(International Workshop on Performance, Protection & Strengthening of Structures under Extreme Loading (PROTECT 2015), 2015-06)
This paper presents an experimental investigation of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened in shear with externally bonded flexural carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets attached to the soffit of the beam via ...
Random Aerial Beamforming for Underlay Cognitive Radio with Exposed Secondary Users
(IEEE Vehicular Technology Society, 2016)
In this paper, we introduce the exposed secondary users problem in underlay cognitive radio systems, where both the secondary-to-primary and primary-to-secondary channels have a Line-of-Sight (LoS) component. Based on a ...
Phase transitions of perfluorocarbon nanoemulsion induced with ultrasound: A mathematical model
(Elsevier, 2013)
While ultrasound has been used in many medical and industrial applications, only recently has research been done on phase transformations induced by ultrasound. This paper presents a numerical model and the predicted results ...
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. ...
Optimizing the use of ultrasound to deliver chemotherapeutic agents to cancer cells from polymeric micelles
(Elsevier, 2011)
In this study, we present an artificial neural network (ANN) model that attempts to predict the dynamic release of doxorubicin (Dox) from P105 micelles under different ultrasonic power densities at 20 kHz. The goal is to ...
Predicting Split Decisions in MPEG-2 to HEVC Video Transcoding
(Springer, 2020)
This paper proposes learning-based approaches for transcoding MPEG-2 video into HEVC. In the training mode of the transcoder, mappings between extracted features and split decisions are calculated. While in the transcoding ...
Novel Classification System for Classifying Cognitive Workload Levels under Vague Visual Stimulation
(IEEE, 2017-07)
This paper presents a novel method for classifying four different levels of cognitive workload. The workload levels are generated using visual stimuli degradation. EEG signals recorded from 16 subjects were used for workload ...
Multi-Model Investigation and Adaptive Estimation of the Acoustic Release of a Model Drug From Liposomes
(IEEE, 2019)
This paper researches a suitable mathematical model that can reliably predict the release of a model drug (namely calcein) from biologically targeted liposomal nanocarriers triggered by ultrasound. Using mathematical models, ...
