Learning-Based Spectrum Sensing and Access for Cognitive Radio Systems
(2015-06)Spectrum management is one of the most important elements of the overall design of cognitive radio systems. Primary users (PUs), or license holders, should not be affected by the opportunistic use of the spectrum by the ... -
Lessons learned from the underrepresentation of women in STEM: AI-enabled solutions and more
(Elsevier, 2021)The absence of women in STEM and energy sectors is driven by discrimination and socio-cultural factors. A greater number of women “leak out” from Energy and STEM fields than men. AI-enabled solutions offer analysis tools ... -
Level of Proficiency in Arabic and English, and Identity of Emirati Students in UAE Public Schools
(2012-05)Recently, a new dimension of learning a second language has gained interest in the literature. The identity of learners has made its way as a concept that has become central in second language acquisition (SLA) and bilingual ... -

Light Emitting Concrete (LEC)
(2014-07-22)Currently, the world recognizes concrete as just a dull, grey building material. However, concrete has the potential to cater to different functions as well. -
Light-Responsive Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) For Doxorubicin Controlled Release
(2023-04)The life cycle of human cells involves growth, divisions, and programmed cell death (apoptosis). However, DNA damage can cause some cells to proliferate uncontrollably, leading to cancer. While chemotherapy is an effective ... -
Linear Domesticity: The Hong Kong Single Occupancy Strip
(University of Cambridge, Department of Architecture, 2015)The Hong Kong Single Occupancy Strip (HK:SOS) project is a response to a growing housing crisis in Hong Kong, in which the domestic environments of the future are becoming more unaffordable and less habitable. In reaction ... -
Lipophilic Metabolites and Anatomical Acclimatization of Cleome amblyocarpa in the Drought and Extra-Water Areas of the Arid Desert of UAE
(MDPI, 2019)Plants adapt to different environmental conditions by developing structural and metabolic mechanisms. In this study, anatomical features and lipophilic metabolites were investigated in Cleome amblyocarpa Barr. & Murb., ... -
Liposomal drug release using ultrasound and modeling release dynamics for model predictive controller design
(2015-06)Chemotherapy is widely used for cancer treatment; however, it causes unwanted side effects in patients such as fatigue, weight loss, pain, hair fall and nausea. Those side effects are due to the fact that most of the ... -
Liposomal Encapsulation of Chemotherapeutics Agents Combined with the Use of Ultrasound in Cancer Treatment
(American Scientific Publishers, 2023-07)Ultrasound (US) has numerous uses in the medical field, including imaging, tumor ablation, and lithotripsy; another interesting application of US in cancer therapy is as an external trigger in targeted drug delivery. ... -
Liposomes as a Promising Ultrasound-Triggered Drug Delivery System in Cancer Treatment
(Bentham Science, 2017)The initial uses of ultrasound waves in the medical field were limited to the thermal ablation of solid tumors and as a diagnostic tool. Recent advances at the preclinical stage have allowed the use of ultrasound as a ... -
Liposomes for the Treatment of Brain Cancer — A Review
(MDPI, 2023-06-25)Due to their biocompatibility, non-toxicity, and surface-conjugation capabilities, liposomes are effective nanocarriers that can encapsulate chemotherapeutic drugs and facilitate targeted delivery across the blood–brain ... -
Liposomes in Active, Passive and Acoustically-Triggered Drug Delivery
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2019)Cancer has become one of the most deadly noncommunicable diseases globally. Several modalities used to treat cancer patients exist today yet many have failed to prove high efficacy with low side effects. The most common ... -
Lipsome-coated metal organic frameworks as a new drug nanocarrier
(2019-12)Cancer has emerged to become one of the predominant diseases ever known to humanity, with chemotherapeutic agents as leading methods for treating it. However, this blind-sighted treatment method that targets all cells; ... -
Liquid Fuel Production from Pyrolysis of Waste Tires: Process Simulation, Exergetic Analysis, and Life Cycle Assessment
(2015-06)Scrap tire is considered to be one of the very common and significant solid wastes and its production is increasing due to the increased number of vehicles in both developed and developing countries. Initiatives are being ... -
Live Simultaneous Interpreting of Political Speeches into Arabic
