Zebrafish as a Model for Anticancer Nanomedicine Studies.

Al-Thani, Hissa F; Shurbaji, Samar; Yalcin, Huseyin C ( MDPI , 2021 , Article Review)

Nanomedicine is a new approach to fight against cancer by the development of anticancer nanoparticles (NPs) that are of high sensitivity, specificity, and targeting ability to detect cancer cells, such as the ability of ...

Zebrafish larvae as a model to demonstrate secondary iron overload.

Nasrallah, Gheyath K; Younes, Nadin N; Baji, Missbah H; Shraim, Amjad M; Mustafa, Ibrahim ( Wiley , 2018 , Article)

Thalassemia is the most common genetically inherited blood disorder arising from a defect in hemoglobin production, resulting in ineffective erythropoiesis and severe hemolytic anemia. While transfusion therapy corrects ...

Zengi and the Muslim response to the crusades: The politics of Jihad

El-Azhari, Taef ( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2016 , Book)

Zengi gained his legacy as the precursor to Saladin. While Zengi captured Edessa, Saladin would capture Jerusalem, and both leaders fought to establish their own realms. However, Zengi cannot be fully understood without ...

Zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) based polymer nanocomposite membranes for gas separation

Song, Qilei; Nataraj, S. K.; Roussenova, Mina V.; Tan, Jin Chong; Hughes, David J.; ... more authors ... less authors ( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2012 , Article)

As synthesised ZIF-8 nanoparticles (size ∼ 60 nm and specific surface area ∼ 1300–1600 m2 g−1) were directly incorporated into a model polymer matrix (Matrimid® 5218) by solution mixing. This produces flexible transparent ...

Zero Energy Building by Multicarrier Energy Systems including Hydro, Wind, Solar, and Hydrogen

Mehrjerdi, Hasan; Hemmati, Reza; Shafie-khah, Miadreza; Catalão, João P. S. ( IEEE Computer Society , 2021 , Article)

This article proposes a unified solution to address the energy issues in net-zero energy building (ZEB), as a new contribution to earlier studies. The multicarrier energy system, including hydro-wind-solar-hydrogen-methane-carbon ...
