Feature modeling using polynomial classifiers and stepwise regression
(Elsevier, 2010)
In polynomial networks, feature vectors are mapped to a higher dimensional space through a polynomial function. The expanded vectors are then passed to a single layer network to compute the model parameters. However, as ...
Phase transitions of nanoemulsions using ultrasound: Experimental observations
(Elsevier, 2012)
The ultrasound-induced transformation of perfluorocarbon liquids to gases is of interest in the area of drug and gene delivery. In this study, three independent parameters (temperature, size, and perfluorocarbon species) ...
A regression-based framework for estimating the objective quality of HEVC coding units and video frames
(Elsevier, 2015-05)
A no-reference objective quality estimation framework is proposed. The framework is suitable for any block-based video codec. In the proposed solution, features are extracted from coding units and summarized to form features ...
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 ...
Multifunctional Nanovehicles for Combined 5-Fluorouracil and Gold Nanoparticles Based on the Nanoprecipitation Method
(American Scientific Publishers, 2011)
To facilitate the administration of combined 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) and gold nanoparticles (for photothermal treatment purposes), we developed 5-FU-gold-poly(lactide-co-glycolic acid) (5-FU-Au- PLGA) nanovehicles, via the ...
Modeling the fire response of concrete beams reinforced with GFRP beams
(International Conference on Advanced Composite Materials in Bridges and Structures, 2016)
In the last two decades, researchers and engineers studied the possibility of reinforcing slabs and beams with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars instead of the conventionally used steel reinforcement. Such FRP bars have ...
Mathematical modeling of microbubble cavitation at 70 kHz and the importance of the subharmonic in drug delivery from micelles
(Elsevier, 2013)
In order to gain insight into the experimental observation of ultrasound-induced release of drugs from micelles, we modeled the dynamic oscillations of a 10-μm-diameter bubble insonated at 70 kHz. The Parlitz modification ...
Remote Labs and Game-Based Learning for Process Control
(Chemical Engineering Education, 2013)
Social networking platforms and computer games represent a natural informal learning environment for the current generation of learners in higher education. This paper explores the use of game-based learning in the context ...
Data Hiding in MPEG Video Files Using Multivariate Regression and Flexible Macroblock Ordering
(IEEE, 2012)
This paper proposes two data hiding approaches using compressed MPEG video. The first approach hides message bits by modulating the quantization scale of a constant bitrate video. A payload of one message bit per macroblock ...
Novel Feature Extraction and Classification Technique for Sensor-Based Continuous Arabic Sign Language Recognition
(Springer, 2015)
This paper proposes a novel approach to continuous Arabic Sign Language recognition. We use a dataset which contains 40 sentences composed from 80 sign language words. The dataset is collected using sensor-based gloves. ...
