Effect of Aggregate Type and Specimen Configuration on Concrete Compressive Strength
(MDPI, 2020)
In this paper, concrete mixes utilizing two sizes of natural aggregate and two sources of lightweight and recycled aggregates were used to investigate the effect of aggregate type and specimen size and shape on the compressive ...
Micelles and nanoparticles for ultrasonic drug and gene delivery
(Elsevier, 2008)
Drug delivery research employing micelles and nanoparticles has expanded in recent years. Of particular interest is the use of these nanovehicles that deliver high concentrations of cytotoxic drugs to diseased tissues ...
Ultrasonic Drug Delivery Using Micelles and Liposomes
(Springer, 2016)
The encapsulation of drugs in nanocarriers revolutionized research in drug delivery, especially in cancer chemotherapeutics. Several nanosystems have been developed including liposomes, polymeric micelles, dendrimers, solid ...
Kinetics of Ultrasonic Drug Delivery from Targeted Micelles
(American Scientific Publishers, 2015)
To minimize the adverse side effects of conventional chemotherapy, a targeted micellar drug carrier was investigated that retains hydrophobic drugs in its core and then releases the drug via ultrasonic activation. This ...
A Multi-Objective Allocation Approach for Power Quality Monitoring Devices
(IEEE Xplore Digital Library, 2019)
With the inception of smart grids and the increased integration of renewable resources, the continuous monitoring of power systems becomes increasingly important to monitor power quality (PQ) and speed up the localization ...
INSPECT: A graphical user interface software package for IDARC-2D
(Elsevier, 2016)
Modern day Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering (PBEE) pivots about nonlinear analysis and its feasibility. IDARC-2D is a widely used and accepted software for nonlinear analysis; it possesses many attractive features ...
A Subspace Identification Technique for Real Time Stability Assessment of Droop Based Microgrids
(IEEE, 2021-11)
Real time detection of the microgrid stability is crucial for determining and adjusting the power-sharing droop controllers' gains to maintain a sufficient stability margin. Maintaining minimum relative stability should ...
Internet of things based multi-sensor patient fall detection system
(National Center for Biotechnology Information, 2019)
Accidental falls of patients cannot be completely prevented. However, timely fall detection can help prevent further complications such as blood loss and unconsciousness. In this study, the authors present a cost-effective ...
Over-Pressure Suppresses Ultrasonic-Induced Drug Uptake
(Elseviser, 2008)
Ultrasound (US) is used to enhance and target delivery of drugs and genes to cancer tissues. The present study further examines the role of acoustic cavitation in US-induced permeabilization of cell membranes and subsequent ...
Suppressing the Capacitor Voltage Fluctuations in Low Frequency Operation of Modular Multilevel Converters
(IEEE, 2020)
Lowfrequency operation in the modular multilevel converters (MMCs) is enabled by applying a reference common mode voltage and circulating currents at a frequency much higher than the desired output frequency. The frequency ...
