Addressing Issues and Challenges in Managing Migratory Tuna Resources in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean
(Ubiquity Press, 2021)
Tuna resources in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean are the world’s largest and most valuable fisheries of their type and are vital to the economy and the sustainable development of the region. However, the region ...
Translation as Intercultural Communication: Translation and Commentary
(2021-03)
This thesis is a translation of “Translation as Intercultural Communication” by David Katan, which comprises chapter five of The Routledge Companion to Translation Studies, edited by Jeremy Munday (2009). The translation ...
Identification of Novel MicroRNAs as Promising Therapeutics for SARS-CoV-2 by Regulating the EGFR-ADAM17 Axis: An In Silico Analysis
(American Chemical Society, 2021)
Cancer patients contracting SARS-CoV-2 encounter additional challenges due to inflammatory bursts and lymphopenia, which may aggravate breast cancer prognosis. In this in-silico analysis, we identified the potential of ...
Identification of Novel MicroRNAs Targeting SARS-CoV-2 through the Regulation of TMPRSS2/PI3K/AKT/PTEN Alignment in Lung Cancer: An in Silico Analysis
(American Chemical Society, 2021)
In this study, we investigated the interactions between SARS-CoV-2 and miRNAs associated with lung cancer using bioinformatic approaches. A special focus was placed on TMPRSS2 and lung cancer progression pathways involving ...
A Comprehensive Review on Membrane Fouling: Mathematical Modelling, Prediction, Diagnosis, and Mitigation
(MDPI, 2021)
Membrane-based separation has gained increased popularity over the past few decades, particularly reverse osmosis (RO). A major impediment to the improved performance of membrane separation processes, in general, is membrane ...
Transferrin‑modifed liposomes triggered with ultrasound to treat HeLa cells
(Nature, 2021)
Targeted liposomes are designed to target specific receptors overexpressed on the surfaces of cancer cells. This technique ensures site-specific drug delivery to reduce undesirable side effects while enhancing the efficiency ...
Dual-Targeting and Stimuli-Triggered Liposomal Drug Delivery in Cancer Treatment
(American Chemical Society, 2021)
The delivery of chemotherapeutics to solid tumors using smart drug delivery systems (SDDSs) takes advantage of the unique physiology of tumors (i.e., disordered structure, leaky vasculature, abnormal extracellular matrix ...
The Effects of cRGD Targeting Liposomes When Paired With Ultrasonic Waves on Drug Delivery
(2021-04)
Cancer is a leading fatal disease, which has the ability to grow uncontrollably and spread throughout the body of the patient. Several approaches have been used to treat cancer, chemotherapy being the most common treatment ...
The Language of Counter-Arguments and Support Arguments in Argumentative Student Writing
(2021-05)
This study analyzes the linguistic features of counter-arguments and support arguments using two computational linguistic tools: Coh-Metrix and Gramulator. The research question investigates whether counter-argument ...
Isolating Physical Replacement of Identical IoT Devices Using Machine and Deep Learning Approaches
(2021-04)
Many Internet of Things (IoT) applications deploy identical end devices like sensor nodes or surveillance cameras in an organization. The purpose of this thesis was to determine if a malicious physical substitution of one ...
