Modeling and Bias-Robust Estimation of the Acoustic Release of Chemotherapeutics from Liposomes
(American Scientific Publishers, 2019)This paper models the acoustic drug release of chemotherapeutics from liposomes using a kinetic model that accounts for systematic biases affecting the drug delivery process. An optimal stochastic filter is then proposed ... -
Modeling and Control of a Thermally Driven MEMS Actuator for RF Applications
(2017-05)Thermally driven V-shaped microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) actuators have been used extensively in different fields of MEMS including RF MEMS applications. For this reason, developing a dynamic model is of importance ... -
Modeling and Control of Electrostatically Actuated RF-MEMS Switches
(2014-02)This work presents a novel approach to modeling and control of an RF- MEMS switch. The model presented in this work is comprehensive and generic in nature such that it takes into account the effect of squeeze film damping, ... -
Modeling and Control of Nonlinear Systems Using Wavelet Networks
(2006-12)The main objective of this research is to present wavelet networks as a new scheme to model and control nonlinear dynamic systems. The ability to control a system depends on how well it is modeled. Most real-world systems ... -
Modeling and dynamic analysis of a membrane bioreactor withbackwash scheduling
(2012-03)A dynamic model, based on mass transport and reaction rate laws of biomass and substrate for a membrane bioreactor (MBR), was successfully developed. Furthermore, an empirical model for flux prediction was used. Key kinetic ... -
Modeling and Fuzzy Control of Modern Refrigeration System
(2014-06)Current typical refrigeration systems work with on-off controllers in each of their components and their expansion valves are regulated mechanically which is quite inefficient. This issue resides in the core design of the ... -
Modeling and Guidance of an Underactuated Autonomous Underwater Vehicle

(2013-01)The main objective of this research is to study the use of Recurrent Wavelet Networks (RWN) for the modelling and identification of nonlinear dynamic systems. Since the vast majority of physical processes and systems exhibit ... -
Modeling and Sensitivity Analysis of Acoustic Release of Doxorubicin from Unstabilized Pluronic P105 Using an Artificial Neural Network Model
(Adenine Press, 2007)This paper models steady state acoustic release of Doxorubicin (Dox) from Pluronic P105 micelles using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). Previously collected release data were compiled and used to train, validate, and test ... -
Modeling and simulation of hypothermia effects on cardiac electrical dynamics
(Public Library of Science, 2019)Previous experimental evidence has shown the effect of temperature on the action potential duration (APD). It has also been demonstrated that regional cooling of the heart can prolong the APD and promote the termination ... -
Modeling of Anti-cancer Drug Release Kinetics from Liposomes and Micelles: A review
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2021)Nanocarriers, such as liposomes and micelles, were developed to enhance the delivery of therapeutic drugs to malignant tissues. Internal or external stimuli can be applied to achieve spatiotemporal controlled release from ... -
Modeling of Chlorophyll-a and Eutrophication Indicators in the Dubai Creek Area using Remote Sensing
(2015-01)The last few decades have witnessed an increase in the frequency and magnitude of the occurrences of algal blooms in coastal regions. A high increase in the levels of nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen) in the water column ... -
Modeling of Drug Release Kinetics from Stimuli- Responsive Micelles and Liposomes: A review
(IEEE, 2021)Nanocarriers such as micelles and liposomes were developed to enhance the delivery of therapeutic drugs to tumors. Internal or external stimuli can be applied to achieve spatiotemporal controlled release from these carriers. ... -
Modeling of fiber bridging in fluid flow for well stimulation applications
(Springer, 2020)Accurate acid placement constitutes a major concern in matrix stimulation because the acid tends to penetrate the zones of least resistance while leaving the low-permeability regions of the formation untreated. Degradable ... -
