In Vitro Cell Work of Two Types of Targeted Nanoparticles with Ultrasound Triggering
(2020-11)
Targeted liposomes have shown promising potential as effective chemotherapeutics delivery vehicles in Smart Drug Delivery Systems (SDDSs). Upon accumulation and internalization at the tumor site, the liposomes need to be ...
CFD Modeling of Biomass Thermal Conversion in A Novel Solar-Thermal Reactor
(2020-05)
The excessive utilization of fossil fuels during the past five decades resulted in a gradualdepletion of reserves and caused a serious negative impact on the environment, such as air pollution, climate change and acid rain. ...
Hyper-Consumption to Circular Economy in the United Arab Emirates: Discarding the Disposable and Cherishing the Valuable
(ARMG Publishing, 2020-10-05)
Overconsumption of resources and consumer items is an important driver for environmental degradation and climate change. Malls, shopping, and conspicuous consumption are deeply ingrained in the local values and the global ...
The effect of maps permutation on the global attractor of a periodic Beverton-Holt model
(Elsevier, 2020-04-01)
Consider a p-periodic difference equation xn+1 = fn(xn) with a global attractor. How does a permutation [fσ(p−1), . . . , fσ(1), fσ(0)] of the maps affect the global attractor? In this paper, we limit this general question ...
Stability and bifurcation analysis of a discrete-time predator-prey model with strong Allee effect
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-03-16)
In this paper, we investigate the impact of Allee effect on the stability of a discrete-time predator-prey model with a non-monotonic functional response. The proposed model supports the coexistence of two steady states, ...
Cyclic Sequential Removal of Alizarin Red S Dye and Cr(VI) Ions Using Wool as a Low-Cost Adsorbent
(MDPI, 2020)
Alizarin red S (ARS) removal from wastewater using sheep wool as adsorbent was investigated. The influence of contact time, pH, adsorbent dosage, initial ARS concentration and temperature was studied. Optimum values were: ...
Ultrasound triggered drug delivery of transferrin coupled liposomes carrying the drug doxorubicin
(2020-06)
Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases of the 21st century. It is caused by the uncontrolled division of damaged and mutated cells. Several methods have been developed to combat cancer, including surgery, radiation, and ...
Combining Saliency with Prediction for Endoscopic Diagnosis
(2020-05)
Healthcare sector has advanced tremendously in the past few years. With the advancement in technology, many image diagnostic techniques have been introduced to help doctors in identifying diseases and abnormalities inside ...
Proton Conductivity Studies of Zirconium Silicate/Ionic Liquids Membranes for PEM Fuel Cells Applications
(2020-12)
This work reports the synthesis of a novel, high-temperature composite membrane for proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells. High-temperature operation (> 100oC) is preferred in PEM fuel cells as it results in better ...
