Measuring the Acoustic Release of a Chemotherapeutic Agent from Folate-Targeted Polymeric Micelles by Abusara, Ayah Mahmoud

“…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 system. The study is implemented using an advanced kinetic model that takes into account cavitation events causing the antineoplastic agent’s release from polymeric micelles upon exposure to ultrasound. …”

Stochastic optimal power flow framework with incorporation of wind turbines and solar PVs using improved liver cancer algorithm by Noor Habib Khan (22224775)

“…To avoid such issues and provide the optimal solution, there are some modifications are implemented into the internal structure of t‐LCA based on Weibull flight operator, mutation‐based approach, quasi‐opposite‐based learning and gorilla troops exploitation‐based mechanisms to enhance the overall strength of the algorithm to obtain the global solution. …”

An exact and general model order reduction technique for the finite element solution of elastohydrodynamic lubrication problems by Habchi, W.

“…As such, it is exact and it preserves the generality of the solution scheme while reducing the size of its corresponding model and, consequently, the associated computational overhead. The technique is complemented with a splitting algorithm to alleviate the hurdle of solving an arising semidense matrix system. …”
