Ultrasonically triggered drug delivery: Breaking the barrier
(Elsevier, 2014)
The adverse side-effects of chemotherapy can be minimized by delivering the therapeutics in time and space to only the desired target site. Ultrasound offers one fairly non-invasive method of accomplishing such precise ...
Emulsification Characteristics Using a Dynamic Woven Metal Microscreen Membrane
(MDPI, 2016)
An oscillatory emulsification system for the production of oil in water emulsions using a commercially available low-cost woven metal microscreen (WMMS) is investigated. The system allows for independent control of both ...
Ultrasonically Controlled Albumin-conjugated Liposomes for Breast Cancer Therapy
(Taylor and Francis Online, 2019)
Targeted liposomes have high potentials in the specific and effective delivery of their loaded therapeutic agents to the tumor site. Once at the tumor site, it is important that these liposomes are triggered to release ...
Green Nanotechnology—A Road Map to Safer Nanomaterials
(Woodhead Publishing, 2018)
Nanotechnology has remained at the forefront of scientific research for the past few decades due to its outstanding properties and associated applications. The unlimited potential of nanomaterials have already influenced ...
Formulation of heat conduction and thermal conductivity of metals
(De Gruyter, 2019)
The well-known low-pressure monatomic gas thermal conductivity expression is based on the Maxwell-Boltzmann velocity distribution and involves the mean particle velocity, the gas heat capacity at constant volume and the ...
Ultrasonic Drug Delivery Using Micelles and Liposomes
(Springer, 2016)
The encapsulation of drugs in nanocarriers revolutionized research in drug delivery, especially in cancer chemotherapeutics. Several nanosystems have been developed including liposomes, polymeric micelles, dendrimers, solid ...
Kinetics of Ultrasonic Drug Delivery from Targeted Micelles
(American Scientific Publishers, 2015)
To minimize the adverse side effects of conventional chemotherapy, a targeted micellar drug carrier was investigated that retains hydrophobic drugs in its core and then releases the drug via ultrasonic activation. This ...
Improving the Efficacy of Anticancer Drugs via Encapsulation and Acoustic Release
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2018)
Conventional chemotherapeutics lack the specificity and controllability, thus may poison healthy cells while attempting to kill cancerous ones. Newly developed nano-drug delivery systems have shown promise in delivering ...
Microbial Desalination Cells Technology: A Review and a Case Study
(Elsevier, 2015-03)
The microbial desalination cell (MDC) is a newly-developed technology which integrates the microbial fuel cell (MFC) process and electrodialysis for wastewater treatment, water desalination and production of renewable ...
Corrosion Inhibition of Mild Steel using Fig Leaves Extract in Hydrochloric Acid Solution
(ResearchGate, 2011)
The inhibition effect of Fig leaves extract on corrosion of mild steel in 2M acid solution was investigated using traditional weight loss measurements and various electrochemical techniques. Corrosion inhibition efficiency ...
