Capacity of Fox's H-function Fading Channel with Adaptive Transmission
(Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2016)Novel closed-form exact expressions for the capacity of the recently-introduced Fox's H-function fading channel are derived. The expressions are obtained assuming different types of adaptive transmission strategies, namely, ... -
Carbohydrate-Functionalized Liposomes In Cancer Therapy
(Bentham Science, 2020)Existing cancer treatments are often accompanied by adverse side effects that can greatly reduce the quality of life of cancer patients; this sets the platform for the development and application of nanocarrier-based ... -
A case study of a college-wide first-year undergraduate engineering course
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)Introductory engineering courses are either programme specific or expose students to engineering as a broad discipline by including materials from various engineering programmes. A common introductory engineering course ... -
Characterization of heavy vehicle headways in oversaturated interrupted conditions: Towards development of passenger car equivalency factors
(Elsevier, 2021)Passenger car equivalency (PCE) of heavy trucks is often studied using filed observation and microscopic simulation models, especially for signalized intersections. While the Highway Capacity Manual recommends a single ... -
Characterization of transection spinal cord injuries by monitoring somatosensory evoked potentials and motor behavior
(Elsevier, 2020)Standardization of spinal cord injury (SCI) models is crucial for reproducible injury in research settings and their objective assessments. Basso, Beattie and Bresnahan (BBB) scoring, the traditional behavioral evaluation ... -
Classifying Maqams of Qur'anic Recitations Using Deep Learning
(IEEE Access, 2021)The Holy Qur’an is among the most recited and memorized books in the world. For beautification of Qur’anic recitation, almost all reciters around the globe perform their recitations using a specific melody, known as maqam ... -
Closed-form Exact and Asymptotic Expressions for the Symbol Error Rate and Channel Capacity of the H-function Fading Channel
(IEEE Vehicular Technology Society, 2016-04)In this paper, we derive closed-form exact and asymptotic expressions for the symbol error rate (SER) as well as channel capacity when communicating over the Fox's H-function fading channel. The SER expressions are obtained ... -
CNN and HEVC Video Coding Features for Static Video Summarization
(IEEE, 2022)This study proposes a novel solution for the detection of keyframes for static video summarization. We preprocessed the well-known video datasets by coding them using the HEVC video coding standard. During coding, 64 ... -
Cognitive Vigilance Enhancement using Audio Stimulation of Pure Tone at 250 Hz
(IEEE Access, 2021)In this paper, we propose a novel vigilance enhancement method based on audio stimulation of pure tone at 250 Hz. We induced two different levels of vigilance state; vigilance decrement (VD) and vigilance enhancement (VE). ... -
Combined and Single Doxorubicin/Naproxen Drug Loading and Dual-Responsive pH/Ultrasound Release from Flexible Metal-Organic Framework Nanocarriers
(American Scientific Publishers, 2022)In this study, the flexible aluminum-based MIL-53(Al) metal-organic framework was loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) and naproxen (NAP) and was examined as a promising pH/ultrasound dual-responsive drug delivery system. The two ... -
A combined resource allocation framework for PEVs charging stations, renewable energy resources and distributed energy storage systems
(Elsevier, 2017)The massive deployment of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs), renewable energy resources (RES), and distributed energy storage systems (DESS) has gained significant interest under the smart grid vision. However, their special ... -
The Comet Assay to Determine the Mode of Cell Death for the Ultrasonic Delivery of Doxorubicin to Human Leukemia (HL-60 Cells) from Pluronic P105 Micelles
(Adenine Press, 2005)This notes examines the mode of cell death of HL-60 cells exposed to 70 kHz and 1.3 W/cm2 ultrasound in the presence of 1% Pluronic P105 and 1.67 μg/ml doxorubicin (Dox). The cells were ultrasonicated for 30, 60, and 120 ... -
Communication Network for Ultrasonic Acoustic Water Leakage Detectors
(IEEE, 2020-02-10)Water leaks in the distribution network produce significant losses and cause serious economic inconvenience especially in areas with water shortage. In this paper, the operational aspects of the most popular offline detection ... -
A Comparative Analysis of Numerical Methods for Solving the Leaky Fire and Integrate Model
