Predicting the Fatigue Failure of Fiber Reinforced Composite Materials Using Artificial Neural Networks
(2009-09)Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) have recently been used in modeling the mechanical behavior of fiberreinforced composite materials. ANN have also been successfully used in predicting the fatigue behavior of a certain ... -
Predicting the Heats of Fusion of Ionic Liquids via Group Contribution Modeling and Machine Learning
(2022-04)Energy security, environmental pollution, and global warming have become major concerns due to significant population and economic growth. The transition from fossil fuels, which can be used to generate power constantly, ... -
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 ... -
Prediction of Backwater Level of Bridge Constriction using ANN
(2012-12)Bridge constriction in channels usually causes afflux which results in increase in backwater level well above the normal level and may possibly result in overflow on the flood plain surrounding the channel during flooding ... -
Prediction of EV Charging Behavior Using Machine Learning
(IEEE Access, 2021)As a key pillar of smart transportation in smart city applications, electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly popular for their contribution in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. One of the key challenges, however, ... -
Prediction of minimum factor of safety against slope failure in clayey soils using artificial neural network
(2015)This paper presents prediction of minimum factor of safety (FS) against slope failure in clayey soils using artificial neural network (ANN). Two multilayer perceptron ANN models were used to predict the minimum factor of ... -
Prediction of Stability Limits for Binary and Ternary Systems Using the NTRL Liquid Phase Model
(2013-01)Stability limits (spinodal loci) were determined for 53 binary systems and 26 ternary systems. Rigorous thermodynamic criteria for spinodal limits and criticality conditions in terms of mixture Gibbs free energy were derived ... -
Prediction of the Backwater Level Due to Bridge Constriction in Waterways
(2019-05)Worldwide, bridges and culverts built across rivers are obstacles to the flow which cause an increase in water depth at the upstream of the structure that significantly intensifies flooding of land and property upstream. ... -
Prediction of Turbulence Statistics in a Model Dump Combustor Using Artificial Neural Networks
(2011-05)The flowfield characteristics downstream of an axisymmetric suddenexpansion dump combustor model are important to designers of gas turbines and liquid-fuel ramjets ducted rockets. Many experimental techniques such as Laser ... -
Preliminary Modeling of Transfer RNA Kinetics in the Cytoplasm of Escherichia coli Bacteria
(American Scientific Publishers, 2010)Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) can recognize a specific amino acid from a possible pool of 20. Theyare able to transport these protein building-blocks to the ribosome, the site where amino acids assemble into protein chains. Accurate ... -
Preliminary Results of Combining Low Frequency Low Intensity Ultrasound and Liposomal Drug Delivery to Treat Tumors in Rats
(American Scientific Publishers, 2011)Ultrasound is a convenient trigger for site-specific drug delivery in cancer therapy. Nanosized liposomes formulated from soy phosphatidyl choline, cholesterol, 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero- 3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[carboxy ... -
Preparation and characterization of gatifloxacin-loaded sodium alginate hydrogel membranes supplemented with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and hydroxypropyl cellulose polymers for wound dressing
(PKP, 2016)Introduction: The aim of this study is to evaluate gatifloxacin-loaded sodium alginate hydrogel membranes, supplemented with glycerol (a plasticizer), glutaraldehyde (a cross-linking agent), and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose ... -
Preparation of albumin-targeted liposomes and the study of their release characteristics using ultrasound
(2016-01)The main objective of this thesis was to investigate the enhancement of drug delivery using targeted liposomes triggered by ultrasound. In this thesis, a thorough literature review on cancer and drug delivery systems ... -
Present and Future Trend in the Production and Energy Consumption of Desalinated Water in GCC Countries
(2013)Water is one of the pressing global challenges facing humanity. In the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, it is considered as the most critical challenges and is expected to grow with time. GCC countries have chosen ... -
Prevention and Containment of Deepwater Oil Well Blowouts
(2014-01-19)Potential deepwater oil blowouts are a challenge and cause disastrous problems if not prevented. The presence of the well head at depths of greater than 1000 feet renders it impossible for human intervention, since the ... -
Printing Human Organs Using Biotechnology
(2015-02-01)3D bio-printing is a relatively new development in the medical field. It is defined as the process of creating and generating functional human organs using 3D printers. -
