Phase transitions of perfluorocarbon nanoemulsion induced with ultrasound: A mathematical model
(Elsevier, 2013)
While ultrasound has been used in many medical and industrial applications, only recently has research been done on phase transformations induced by ultrasound. This paper presents a numerical model and the predicted results ...
Optimizing the use of ultrasound to deliver chemotherapeutic agents to cancer cells from polymeric micelles
(Elsevier, 2011)
In this study, we present an artificial neural network (ANN) model that attempts to predict the dynamic release of doxorubicin (Dox) from P105 micelles under different ultrasonic power densities at 20 kHz. The goal is to ...
Alkyl Monolayers on Silica Surfaces Prepared from Neat, Heated ClSi(CH₃)₂(CH₂)₆CH=CH₂ Analyzed by XPS
(American Vacuum Society, 2002)
Silane monolayers on silica, prepared from mono-, di-, and trichlorosilanes, are widely used in industry for surface functionalization and modification. However, unlike di-and trichlorosilanes, monochlorosilanes are ...
Multi-Model Investigation and Adaptive Estimation of the Acoustic Release of a Model Drug From Liposomes
(IEEE, 2019)
This paper researches a suitable mathematical model that can reliably predict the release of a model drug (namely calcein) from biologically targeted liposomal nanocarriers triggered by ultrasound. Using mathematical models, ...
Intracellular uptake of Pluronic copolymer: effects of the aggregation state
(Elsevier, 2002)
The effect of the Pluronic P-105 aggregation state on its uptake by HL-60 cells was studied by flow cytometry, fluorescence spectroscopy, and confocal and fluorescence microscopy using a fluorescently labeled Pluronic P105. ...
Use of Model Predictive Control and Artificial Neural Networks to Optimize the Ultrasonic Release of a Model Drug From Liposomes
(IEEE, 2017)
The use of echogenic liposomes to deliver chemotherapeutic agents for cancer treatment has gained wide recognition in the last 20 years. Cancerous cells can develop multiple drug resistance (MDR), in part, due to the drop ...
Modeling and Sensitivity Analysis of Acoustic Release of Doxorubicin from Unstabilized Pluronic P105 Using an Artificial Neural Network Model
(Adenine Press, 2007)
This paper models steady state acoustic release of Doxorubicin (Dox) from Pluronic P105 micelles using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). Previously collected release data were compiled and used to train, validate, and test ...
Optimum ethane recovery in conventional turboexpander process
(Elsevier, 2010)
Ethane recovery in a conventional turboexpander process is optimized considering different demethanizer pressures and different feeds: a lean gas and a rich one. The design variables are varied, while meeting process ...
Kinetics of ultrasonic release of doxorubicin from pluronic P105 micelles
(Elsevier, 2001)
The aim of this research was to measure and model the kinetics of acoustic release and subsequent re-encapsulation of Doxorubicin (DOX) from Pluronic P105 micelles. A fluorescence detection ultrasound exposure chamber was ...
Degradation kinetics of stabilized Pluronic micelles under the action of ultrasound
(Elsevier, 2009)
The majority of research in the area of acoustically-activated drug delivery from stabilized micelles has been focused on the rapid release of chemotherapy drugs from the core of such nano-carriers. Previous publications ...
