An engineered microfluidic blood-brain barrier model to evaluate the anti-metastatic activity of β-boswellic acid
( John Wiley and Sons Inc , 2021 , Article)Background The development of anti-cancer drugs with the ability to inhibit brain metastasis through the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is substantially limited due to the lack of reliable in vitro models. Main Methods In ... -
An Enhanced Dynamic-programming Technique For Finding Approximate Overlaps
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2014 , Conference Paper)The next generation sequencing technology creates a huge number of sequences (reads), which constitute the input for genome assemblers. After prefiltering the sequences, it is required to detect exact overlaps between the ... -
An enhanced electrocoagulation process for the removal of fe and mn from municipal wastewater using dielectrophoresis (Dep)
( MDPI AG , 2021 , Article)In this study the removal of Fe and Mn from primary treated municipal wastewater using a new electrode configuration in electrocoagulation was evaluated. The used electrode configuration induced a dielectrophoretic (DEP) ... -
An enhanced hybrid piezoelectric-electromagnetic energy harvester using dual-mass system for vortex-induced vibrations
( SAGE Publications Inc. , 2021 , Article)This article proposes a novel hybrid piezoelectric-electromagnetic vortex-induced vibration energy harvester from flow of water inside of a pipe. The piezoelectric energy harvester was modeled with a macro-fiber composite ... -
An enhanced nonparametric EWMA sign control chart using sequential mechanism
( Public Library of Science , 2019 , Article)Control charts play a significant role to monitor the performance of a process. Nonparametric control charts are helpful when the probability model of the process output is not known. In such cases, the sampling mechanism ... -
An enhanced performance IPT based battery charger for electric vehicles application
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2014 , Conference Paper)World-wide scientists/engineers were motivated to research in the area of renewable energy resources and to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels. Hence, electric and hybrid vehicles have won the attention of many researchers ... -
An enhanced public key infrastructure to secure smart grid wireless communication networks
(2014 , Article)It is expected that the smart grid will radically add new functionalities to legacy electrical power systems. However, we believe that this will in turn introduce many new security risks. With the smart grid's backbone ... -
An Ensemble Learning Method Based on Random Subspace Sampling for Palmprint Identification
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2018 , Conference Paper)Palmprint recognition is an important and widely used biometric modality with high reliability, stability and user acceptability. In this paper we propose a simple and effective ensemble learning method for palmprint ... -
An ensemble neural network framework for improving the detection ability of a base control chart in non-parametric profile monitoring
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Profile monitoring is a challenging issue in statistical process control (SPC). It aims to use a functional relationship between a response variable and one or more explanatory variable(s) to summarize the quality of a ... -
An environmental burden shifting approach to re-evaluate the environmental impacts of products
( Springer New York LLC , 2016 , Conference Paper)Life cycle assessment (LCA) can help enterprises evaluate their product's environmental impacts through the entire product life cycle (PLC). On the basis of the evaluation result, phases which need to take activities to ... -
An estimation of erinaceidae phylogeny: A combined analysis approach
( Public Library of Science , 2012 , Article)Background: Erinaceidae is a family of small mammals that include the spiny hedgehogs (Erinaceinae) and the silky-furred moonrats and gymnures (Galericinae). These animals are widely distributed across Eurasia and Africa, ... -
An evaluation of image-based structural health monitoring using integrated unmanned aerial vehicle platform
( John Wiley and Sons Ltd , 2019 , Article)Increasing number of skyscrapers along with the large number of tall bridges in the urban setting throughout the world also increases the demand of robust and autonomously controlled structural health monitoring (SHM) in ... -

( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2021 , Article)Objectives: To examine changes in planning, selecting, and preparing healthy foods in relation to personal factors (time, money, stress) and social distancing policies during the COVID-19 crisis. Methods: Using cross-sectional ... -
An evaluation of the translation of continuing education into diabetes public health care by pharmacists
( Springer Netherlands , 2017 , Article)Background Pharmacists are assuming greater public health roles and partaking in continuing education to advance knowledge and skills necessary for the provision of this patient care. Objective We sought to determine what ... -
An Event-Triggered Robust Attitude Control of Flexible Spacecraft With Modified Rodrigues Parameters Under Limited Communication
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2019 , Article)The attitude regulation of spacecraft using continuous time execution of the control law is not always affordable for the low-cost satellites with limited wireless resources. Of late, within the ambit of control of systems ... -
An evidence base for school health policy during the covid-19 pandemic
( Paris Scholar Publishing , 2021 , Article)Objective: Children represent a small fraction of confirmed COVID-19 cases, with a low case fatality rate (CFR). In this paper, we lay out an evidence-based policy for reopening schools. Methods: We gathered age-specific ... -
An evolutionary game theoretic approach for cooperative spectrum sensing
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2016 , Conference Paper)Many spectrum sensing techniques have been proposed to allow a secondary user (SU) to utilize a primary user's (PU) spectrum through opportunistic access. However, few of them have considered the tradeoff between accuracy ... -
