Non-communicable diseases in the Arab world
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article Review)
According to the results of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010, the burden of non-communicable diseases (cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic lung diseases, and diabetes) in the Arab world has increased, with ...
Stable and effective super-hydrophilic polysulfone nanofiber mats for oil/water separation
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Hydrophobicity of polysulfone is the main constraint facing wide application in the most important field; water treatment, although this polymer shows promising characteristics to be used in different separation technologies. ...
Spiderweb Honeycombs
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Small and large deformation in-plane elastic response of a new class of hierarchical fractal-like honeycombs inspired by the topology of the “spiderweb” were investigated through analytical modeling, detailed numerical ...
Synthesis and cytotoxic activity of MOM-ether analogs of isosteviol
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Lung cancer is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. In this Letter, novel MOM-ether analogs of isosteviol were designed and synthesized to be tested for anticancer activities against H1299 lung cancer cell lines. ...
Light-controllable viscoelastic properties of a photolabile carboxybetaine ester-based polymer with mucus and cellulose sulfate
(
Springer Nature
, 2018 , Article)
In this study, the interaction of a photoswitchable carboxybetaine ester-based polymer with mucus and cellulose sulfate was elucidated, showing light-controllable viscoelastic properties. This polymer contains photolabile ...
Color-based Fuzzy Classifier for automated detection of cancerous cells in histopathological analysis
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In usual clinical practice, grading of cancer tissues is often done by an expert histopathologist based on their analysis of micro-level architectural features of the cancerous tissue specimen as well as level of presence ...

IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, an inspection system has been presented that uses Laser-Ultrasound (LU) technique for Nondestructive testing (NDT) of metallic structures with specific interest in Oil & Gas sector. While the developed ...
Cranial reconstruction after decompressive craniectomy: Prediction of complications using fuzzy logic
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Article)
Introduction: Cranial reconstruction after decompressive craniectomy (DC) has been shown to be associated with a relatively high complication rate (16.4%-34%) compared with standard neurosurgical procedures (2%-5%). Most ...
Fuzzy prediction of complications in craniopathy
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Decompressive craniectomy is a neurosurgical procedure in which part of the skull is removed to allow a swelling brain room to expand. It is a life-saving procedure used in the treatment of medically refractory intracranial ...
Fun to learn: Project-based learning in robotics for computer engineers
(
Association for Computing Machinery
, 2011 , Article)
This article shares my experiences with the project-based methodology of teaching the same material that a standard text in robotics would teach and will comparatively elaborate the improvement observed in the group of ...
