Ultrasonic release of doxorubicin from Pluronic P105 micelles stabilized with an interpenetrating network of N,N diethylacrylamide
(Elsevier, 2002)
Pluronic P105 micelles sequester hydrophobic drugs and release them upon insonation with low frequency ultrasound; however these micelles dissolve relatively quickly upon dilution. The objective of this research was to ...
Hybrid DCT/Pixel Domain Architecture for Heterogeneous Video Transcoding
(Elsevier, 2003)
In this paper the pixel domain heterogeneous video transcoder proposed by the authors is implemented in the DCT domain. Consequently, the motion compensation and its inverse and the image down-sampling functions of the ...
Phase transitions of nanoemulsions using ultrasound: Experimental observations
(Elsevier, 2012)
The ultrasound-induced transformation of perfluorocarbon liquids to gases is of interest in the area of drug and gene delivery. In this study, three independent parameters (temperature, size, and perfluorocarbon species) ...
A regression-based framework for estimating the objective quality of HEVC coding units and video frames
(Elsevier, 2015-05)
A no-reference objective quality estimation framework is proposed. The framework is suitable for any block-based video codec. In the proposed solution, features are extracted from coding units and summarized to form features ...
Stabilization of Pluronic P-105 Micelles with an Interpenetrating Network of N,N-Diethylacrylamide
(American Chemical Society, 2000)
N,N-Diethylacrylamide (NNDEA) was polymerized in the presence of Pluronic P-105 micelles. The polymerizations resulted in an interpenetrating network of poly(NNDEA) and P-105 that stabilized the micelles at concentrations ...
Analysis of Shea Nut Shells by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy
(American Vacuum Society, 2005)
Determining the chemical structure and composition of biomass fuels using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) can provide fundamental knowledge of their structures that is useful in understanding and predicting their ...
A case study of a college-wide first-year undergraduate engineering course
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)
Introductory engineering courses are either programme specific or expose students to engineering as a broad discipline by including materials from various engineering programmes. A common introductory engineering course ...
Multifunctional Nanovehicles for Combined 5-Fluorouracil and Gold Nanoparticles Based on the Nanoprecipitation Method
(American Scientific Publishers, 2011)
To facilitate the administration of combined 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) and gold nanoparticles (for photothermal treatment purposes), we developed 5-FU-gold-poly(lactide-co-glycolic acid) (5-FU-Au- PLGA) nanovehicles, via the ...
Investigating the mechanism of acoustically activated uptake of drugs from Pluronic micelles
(BioMed Central (BMC), 2002)
Background: This paper examines the mechanism of ultrasonic enhanced drug delivery from Pluronic micelles. In previous publications by our group, fluorescently labeled Pluronic was shown to penetrate HL-60 cells with and ...
Modeling the fire response of concrete beams reinforced with GFRP beams
(International Conference on Advanced Composite Materials in Bridges and Structures, 2016)
In the last two decades, researchers and engineers studied the possibility of reinforcing slabs and beams with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars instead of the conventionally used steel reinforcement. Such FRP bars have ...
