Synthesis of Metal-Organic Framework from Iron Nitrate and 2,6-Naphthalenedicarboxylic Acid and Its Application as Drug Carrier
(American Scientific Publishers, 2018)
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are highly crystalline porous organic–inorganic materials that are comprised of metal salts and organic linkers. The common synthetic methodologies of MOFs include: solvothermal, microwave-assisted, ...
An Integrated Building Information Model (iBIM) for Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures
(International Conference on Computing in Civil and Building Engineering (ICCCBE), 2018-06)
The architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry involve many disciplines during the life cycle of the building from its conception to its demolition. The civil engineering discipline has many domains related ...
Measuring the Acoustic Release of a Chemotherapeutic Agent from Folate-Targeted Polymeric Micelles
(American Scientific Publishers, 2018)
In this paper, we compare the use of Bayesian filters for the estimation of release and reencapsulation rates of a chemotherapeutic agent (namely Doxorubicin) from nanocarriers in an acoustically activated drug release ...
Green Nanotechnology—A Road Map to Safer Nanomaterials
(Woodhead Publishing, 2018)
Nanotechnology has remained at the forefront of scientific research for the past few decades due to its outstanding properties and associated applications. The unlimited potential of nanomaterials have already influenced ...
Improving the Efficacy of Anticancer Drugs via Encapsulation and Acoustic Release
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2018)
Conventional chemotherapeutics lack the specificity and controllability, thus may poison healthy cells while attempting to kill cancerous ones. Newly developed nano-drug delivery systems have shown promise in delivering ...
Predicting split decisions of coding units in HEVC video compression using machine learning techniques
(Springer, 2018)
In this work, we propose to reduce the complexity of HEVC video encoding by predicting the split decisions of coding units. We use a sequencedependent approach in which a number of frames belonging to the video being encoded ...
