A Simulation Study of the Role of Mechanical Stretch in Arrhythmogenesis during Cardiac Alternans
(Biophysical Society, 2021-01)
The deformation of the heart tissue due to the contraction can modulate the excitation, a phenomenon referred to as mechanoelectrical feedback (MEF), via stretch-activated channels. The effects of MEF on the electrophysiology ...
A Low Power Frequency Synthesizer Design for Wireless Power Transfer Applications
(2023-04)
Wireless power transfer (WPT) is an essential technology for the Internet of Things (IoT) as it enables the deployment of untethered and self-sustaining devices, which eliminates the need for wired power connections. With ...
Recent Breakthroughs in Using Quantum Dots for Cancer Imaging and Drug Delivery Purposes
(MDPI, 2023)
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Because each person’s cancer may be unique, diagnosing and treating cancer is challenging. Advances in nanomedicine have made it possible to detect tumors and quickly ...
Brain Connectivity Analysis Under Semantic Vigilance and Enhanced Mental States
(MDPI, 2019)
In this paper, we present a method to quantify the coupling between brain regions under vigilance and enhanced mental states by utilizing partial directed coherence (PDC) and graph theory analysis (GTA). The vigilance state ...
Ultrasound-responsive Nanocarriers in Cancer Treatment: a review
(American Chemical Society, 2021)
The safe and effective delivery of anticancer agents to diseased tissues is one of the significant challenges in cancer therapy. Conventional anticancer agents are generally cytotoxins with poor pharmacokinetics and ...
The Roots of Misalignment: Insights on Strategy Implementation from a System Dynamics Perspective
(2019)
This essay advances the study of strategic alignment by explaining how and why misalignment occurs. We begin by summarizing why IT and business strategies evolve in unintended ways, a phenomenon known as strategic drift. ...
Hybrid Energy Management System For Electric Vehicles
(2021-12)
Boosting the performance of the energy storage system (ESS) of electric vehicles (EV) is of great significance to achieve their pervasion and encourage their mass adoption, which will, in turn, curtail the emission of ...
Labour localisation and human resource management practices in the Gulf countries
(Edwar Elgar, 2016)
The chapter is organized as follows: first, we examine the literature on core issues pertinent to this theme, such as demographic and labor-market characteristics in the GCC, the objectives of these localisation programs, ...
Organizational forgetting Part I: a review of the literature and future research directions
(Emerald Publishing, 2020)
The purpose of this paper is to systematically review and synthesize the literature on organizational forgetting. A systematic literature review approach was used to synthesize current theoretical and empirical studies on ...
Modeling of Friction Stirring
(2018-11)
The last two decades have witnessed significant advances in friction stir welding (FSW). This solid-state welding process was originally used for joining Aluminum alloys before being extended to other metallic and non-metallic ...
