A Study of the Impact of the Climate and Land-use/Land-cover (LULC) Changes on the UAE Mangrove Forests over the Period 1990-2020
(2023-06)
Mangroves are integral part of coastal ecosystem, demonstrating resiliency against adverse anthropogenic and environmental effects. They provide blue carbon stock and security against coastal erosion and act as a nutrient ...
Effect of phospholipid head group on ultrasound‑triggered drug release and cellular uptake of immunoliposomes
(Nature, 2023)
Liposomes are the most successful nanoparticles used to date to load and deliver chemotherapeutic agents to cancer cells. They are nano-sized vesicles made up of phospholipids, and targeting moieties can be added to their ...
Experimental Assessment of Microbial Fuel Cells for Treatment and Nutrient Recovery from Different Wastewaters
(2022-05)
Wastewater is an abundant renewable source of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus. However, current recovery methods require large amounts of energy and chemicals. Consequently, these processes pose economic and ...
GIS-BIM Based Regional Seismic Risk Assessment for Dubai, UAE
(2023-05)
In the last two decades, the construction sector in UAE has been expanded to include a high range of tall and supertall buildings. Geographically, this region is surrounded by multiple earthquakes, such as the Zagros Fold ...
Recent Advances in Nanoparticle-Based Co-Delivery Systems for Cancer Therapy
(MDPI, 2022-08)
Cancer therapies have advanced tremendously throughout the last decade, yet multiple factors still hinder the success of the different cancer therapeutics. The traditional therapeutic approach has been proven insufficient ...
Impact of Ionic Strength and Charge Density on Donnan Potential in the NaCl-Cation Exchange Membrane System
(MDPI, 2023)
This work aims to theoretically investigate the effect of both the fixed charge density of ion exchange membranes and the ionic strength of the treated aqueous NaCl solution on the generated Donnan potential at thermodynamic ...
Incorporating nanoparticles in 3D printed scaffolds for bone cancer therapy
(Elsevier, 2023)
The low occurrence rate of bone cancer contributes to delayed diagnosis and treatment; in addition, the surgical resection of bone tumors can cause significant bone defects, further hindering the effective treatment of the ...
