Encapsulation, Release, and Cytotoxicity of Doxorubicin Loaded in Liposomes, Micelles, and Metal-Organic Frameworks: A Review
(MDPI, 2022)
Doxorubicin (DOX) is one of the most widely used anthracycline anticancer drugs due to its high efficacy and evident antitumoral activity on several cancer types. However, its effective utilization is hindered by the adverse ...
Exogenous Contrast Agents in Photoacoustic Imaging: An In Vivo Review for Tumor Imaging
(MDPI, 2022)
The field of cancer theranostics has grown rapidly in the past decade and innovative ‘biosmart’ theranostic materials are being synthesized and studied to combat the fast growth of cancer metastases. While current ...
A Dynamic Optimal Battery Swapping Mechanism for Electric Vehicles using an LSTM-based Rolling Horizon Approach
(IEEE, 2022-01)
This paper proposes a new approach for optimal operation of an Electric Vehicle (EV) battery-swapping station (BSS) based on Rolling-Horizon optimization (RHO). The BSS has several swapping bays such that each can accommodate ...
Optimal Operation of Virtual Charging Systems for Plug-In Electric Vehicles
(IEEE, 2022-01)
This paper proposes a novel concept, denoted as Virtual Charging System (VCS), for electric vehicles’ (EVs). In a conventional charging system (CCS) with a competitive environment, the competition between charging stations ...
HEVC Video Encryption with High Capacity Message Embedding by Altering Picture Reference Indices and Motion Vectors
(IEEE, 2022)
A high capacity message embedding in encrypted HEVC video is proposed in this paper. The challenges addressed in this paper include keeping the encrypted video compliant with standardized decoders, correctly decrypting the ...
Thermosensitive Polymers and Thermo-Responsive Liposomal Drug Delivery Systems
(MDPI, 2022)
Temperature excursions within a biological milieu can be effectively used to induce drug release from thermosensitive drug-encapsulating nanoparticles. Oncological hyperthermia is of particular interest, as it is proven ...
pH-Responsive Nanocarriers in Cancer Therapy
(MDPI, 2022)
A number of promising nano-sized particles (nanoparticles) have been developed to conquer the limitations of conventional chemotherapy. One of the most promising methods is stimuli-responsive nanoparticles because they ...
On the precision of full-spectrum fitting of simple stellar populations. IV. A systematic comparison with results from colour-magnitude diagrams
(Oxford University Press, 2022-03)
In this fourth paper of a series on the precision of ages of stellar populations obtained through the full-spectrum fitting technique, we present a first systematic analysis that compare the age, metallicity and reddening ...
Photo-Induced Drug Release from Polymeric Micelles and Liposomes: Phototriggering Mechanisms in Drug-Delivery Systems
(MDPI, 2022)
Chemotherapeutic drugs are highly effective in treating cancer. However, the side effects associated with this treatment lower the quality of life of cancer patients. Smart nanocarriers are able to encapsulate these drugs ...
Data Embedding in Scrambled Video by Rotating Motion Vectors
(Springer, 2022-03)
Data embedding in videos has several important applications including Digital Rights Management, preserving confidentiality of content, authentication and tampering detection. This paper proposes a novel data embedding ...
