Kinetics and thermodynamics of acoustic release of doxorubicin from non-stabilized polymeric micelles by Husseini, Ghaleb

“…The release and re-encapsulation of Dox into Pluronic® P105 micelles was measured by recording the fluorescence of a solution of 10 μg/ml Dox and 10 wt% P105 polymer in phosphate-buffered saline, during and after insonation by ultrasound at three temperatures (25 °C, 37 °C and 56 °C). The experimental data were modeled using a previously published model of the kinetics of the system. …”

Modulation of SLFN11 induces changes in DNA Damage response in breast cancer by Christophe Michel Raynaud (17449906)

“…Finally, as a definitive and specific way to modulate SLFN11 expression we implemented SLFN11 dCas9 (dead CRISPR associated protein 9) systems to specifically increase or decrease SLFN11 expression.</p><h3>Results</h3><p dir="ltr">After confirming the previously reported correlation between methylation of SLFN11 promoter and its expression across multiple cell lines, we showed in-vitro that decitabine and IFN-γ could increase moderately the expression of SLFN11 in both BT-549 and T47D cell lines. …”

Mixed siliciclastic-carbonate-evaporite sedimentation in an arid eolian landscape: The Khor Al Adaid tide-dominated coastal embayment, Qatar by John M., Rivers

“…These offshore-migrating eolian-derived sediments are being redistributed by tidal currents in an otherwise low-energy coastal zone, where in situ formation of carbonate mud and a low-diversity skeletal assemblage is ongoing within salinity-restricted environments. Three depositional sectors are delineated: 1) an energetic, linear, fault-controlled Entrance Channel into which the eolian dunes spill directly; 2) a relatively deep (up to 20 m) Outer Lagoon, interpreted to represent a flooded karst-collapse structure; and 3) a sprawling, low-energy, shallow (<2 m) Inner Lagoon occupying low-lying areas between deflated eolian dunes.Physical oceanographic modeling, integrating multi-seasonal current meter and tidal gage measurements, demonstrates tidal current flow velocities are relatively high in both the Entrance Channel and at the constricted entrance to the Inner Lagoon. …”

Impact of timing and severity of COVID-19 infection in pregnancy on intrauterine fetal growth- a registry-based study from Doha-Qatar by Fathima Minisha (16475100)

“…<h3>Background</h3> <p>The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted pregnant women, increasing maternal and neonatal morbidity. The placenta is a potential target for the pathophysiological processes due to the increased thrombotic inflammatory activation and inadequate uteroplacental perfusion and oxygenation, potentially causing intrauterine growth restriction. …”

Tracking analysis of normalized adaptive algorithms by Moinuddin, M.

“…The results show that, unlike the stationary case, the steady-state excess-mean-square error is not a monotonically increasing function of the step-size, while the ability of the adaptive algorithm to track the variations in the environment degrades by increasing the frequency offset.…”
