Four-Arm Three-Phase Modular Multilevel Converter (4A-TPMMC)
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2017 , Article)In this paper a Four-Arm Three-Phase MMC (4A-TPMMC)-based DC-AC converter is proposed. The proposed converter generates a three-phase output voltage using a lower number of components, which reduces the converter complexity ... -
Improved liquid phase separation processes for generating biodegradable microspheres loaded with high concentrations of drugs for tumor embolization
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2019 , Article)Drug-eluting microspheres are the most commonly used particulate embolic agents for transarterial chemoembolization of liver tumors. However, drug loading of degradable embolic particles is often insufficient. In the current ... -
Improved salt removal and power generation in a cascade of two hydraulically connected up-flow microbial desalination cells
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2018 , Article)A novel two chamber up-flow microbial desalination cell (UMDC) was designed for evaluating desalination of real seawater with simultaneous wastewater treatment and energy generation. Two UMDCs were hydraulically connected ... -
Industrial case studies in the petrochemical and gas industry in Qatar for the utilization of industrial waste heat for the production of fresh water by membrane desalination
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2013 , Article)An investigation into the potential of using industrial low-grade waste heat in desalination using membrane distillation (MD) has been carried out. This investigation highlighted the need to work on fresh water production ... -
Interval estimation of quantiles and reliability in the two-parameter exponential distribution based on records
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2019 , Article)In the estimation, using confidence intervals, of quantiles and reliability of the two parameter exponential distribution based on record data, a pivot is defined and its exact cumulative distribution function and probability ... -
Mercurimetric potentiometric determination of barbiturates using a solid-state iodide ion-selective electrode
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 1997 , Article)A simple potentiometric method is described for mercurimetric titration of barbiturates using a solid-state iodide ion-selective electrode. The optimum titration conditions involve the use of a borate buffer of pH 9-10 as ... -
Metaphorical expressions in E-commerce: A study of arabic language websites
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2017 , Article)This study examines the use of metaphors in Arabic language e-commerce websites and shows that metaphorical language plays an important role in enhancing the effectiveness of websites and e-commerce businesses in general. ... -
Microscale Thermal Energy Transfer Over a Combined System of Thin Films: Analytical Approach
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2019 , Article)An analytical approach for the solution of the equation for phonon transport is presented for the combination thin films system. The transient phonon radiative transport model is considered and the combination of the silicon ... -
Modeling pedestrian gap acceptance behavior at a six-lane urban road
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2019 , Article)The illegal crossing behavior of pedestrians at unmarked mid-block sections is unsafe, risky, and increase the potential of severe conflicts and crashes, especially in the case of multilane roads. This paper investigates ... -
Natural polymer based composite membranes for water purification: a review
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2019 , Article Review)The ever-growing population, environmental pollution and ecological degradation cause suffering to human race due to chemicals and other water contaminants such as chemicals, heavy metals, pesticides and insecticides. ... -
Noise pollution in the hospital environment of a developing country: A case study of Lahore (Pakistan)
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2018 , Article)The present study investigates the noise pollution levels in public- and private-sector hospitals of Lahore. The noise pollution parameters were investigated from 20 public and 10 private hospitals. We observed that the ... -
Pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of an orally administered mucoadhesive chitosan-coated amphotericin B-Loaded nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) in rats
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2020 , Article)Oral delivery of amphotericin B (AmpB) is desirable because it provides a more patient-friendly mode of administration compared to the current delivery approach akin with the marketed AmpB formulations. The goal of the ... -
