Ultrasound-Triggered Liposomes Encapsulating Quantum Dots as Safe Fluorescent Markers for Colorectal Cancer
(MDPI, 2021)
Quantum dots (QDs) are a promising tool to detect and monitor tumors. However, their small size allows them to accumulate in large quantities inside the healthy cells (in addition to the tumor cells), which increases their ...
A Fluorescence-Based Chemical Sensor for Detection of Melamine in Aqueous Solutions
(MDPI, 2021)
Melamine, an industrial chemical, receives wide attention nowadays because of its unethical usage as a nitrogen enhancer in protein-rich foods and dairy products. Since most of the existing melamine detection methods are ...
Biomedical Applications of Metal−Organic Frameworks for Disease Diagnosis and Drug Delivery: A Review
(MDPI, 2021)
Metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) are a novel class of porous hybrid organic−inorganic materials that have attracted increasing attention over the past decade. MOFs can be used in chemical engineering, materials science, and ...
Adsorptive Membranes for The Removal of Antibiotics from Pharmaceutical Wastewater
(2021-12)
Adsorptive membranes are considered among the promising technologies that have shown competence in removing different pollutants from wastewater. They possess the dual advantage of adsorption and filtration. Pharmaceutical ...
Removal of Heavy Metals from Industrial Wastewater Using Microbial Fuel Cell
(2021-12)
The development in science and technology has resulted in a steady increase in the growth rate of several industries, thereby resulting in an increased demand of precious metals as well, such as gold and platinum. This ...
Effects of Integrated Project Delivery and Information Communication Technology On Project Success
(2021-12)
Project delivery systems are considered one of the most critical factors influencing project success. The downside of traditional methods is that they promote fragmentation, thus putting the main entities (stakeholders) ...
Flexural Bond Performance of Anchored CFRP Laminates to Concrete Beams
(2021-12)
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are being extensively used in retrofitting and strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) members due to their superior properties such as high strength and corrosion resistance. ...
A Machine Learning Approach to Predicting Diabetes Complications
(2021-12)
Machine learning and data mining techniques have been widely used over the years to extract knowledge from data. The goal of this thesis is to study several diabetes complications. Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease ...
