Incorporating Computer-Aided Software in the Undergraduate Chemical Engineering Core Courses
(Chemical Engineering Education, 2014)
Introductions of computer-aided software and simulators are implemented during the sophomore-year of the chemical engineering (ChE) curriculum at the American University of Sharjah (AUS). Our faculty concurs that software ...
Investigating the acoustic release of doxorubicin from targeted micelles
(Elsevier, 2013)
The main problem associated with the administration of anti-cancer medication is that the drug is delivered throughout the body causing undesirable side effects. Therefore, it is important to synthesize drug carriers capable ...
Review on Triggered Liposomal Drug Delivery with a Focus on Ultrasound
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2015)
Chemotherapy is widely used for cancer treatment; however, it causes unwanted side effects in patients. To avoid these adverse effects, nanocarriers have been developed, which can be loaded with the chemotherapeutic agents, ...
Immunoliposomes: Synthesis, Structure, and Their Potential as Drug Delivery Carriers
(Bentham Science, 2020)
Immunoliposomes have emerged as attractive drug targeting vehicles for cancer treatment. This review presents the recent advances in the design of immunoliposomes encapsulating a variety of chemotherapeutic agents. We ...
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 ...
Comparing microbubble cavitation at 500 kHz and 70 kHz related to micellar drug delivery using ultrasound
(Elsevier, 2013)
We have previously reported that ultrasonic drug release at 70 kHz was found to correlate with the presence of subharmonic emissions. No evidence of drug release or of the subharmonic emissions were detected in experiments ...
Proton conductivity and morphology of new composite membranes based on zirconium phosphates, phosphotungstic acid, and silicic acid for direct hydrocarbon fuel cells applications
(Springer, 2016-11)
The effect of Phosphotungstic acid (PWA) on the proton conductivity and morphology of zirconium phosphate (ZrP), porous polytetrafluoethylene (PTFE), glycerol (GLY) composite membrane was investigated in this work. The ...
Predicting the Release of Chemotherapeutics From the Core of Polymeric Micelles Using Ultrasound
(IEEE Explore, 2015)
In this paper, the estimation of acoustic drug release from micelles is addressed. The release is measured as a decrease in fluorescence once ultrasound is applied. Initially, a Kalman filter is used to fuse the drug ...
Gas Phase Deposition of Trichloro(1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyl)silane on Silicon Dioxide, by XPS
(American Vacuum Society, 2012)
Monolayers of trichloro(lH,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyl)silane, Cl3SiCH2CH2(CF2)5CF3, were deposited via chemical vapor deposition onto the native oxide layer on silicon after plasma-cleaning. The samples have high hydrophobicity, ...
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 ...
