Modulation of proteomic and inflammatory signals by Bradykinin in podocytes
( Elsevier B.V. , 2020 , Article)Podocyte damage is one of the hallmarks of diabetic nephropathy leading to proteinuria and kidney damage. The underlying mechanisms of podocyte injury are not well defined. Bradykinin (BK) was shown to contribute to diabetic ... -
Monitoring and control of beta-distributed multistage production processes
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2019 , Article)Multistage statistical process control (SPC) is an effective procedure for ensuring quality of products in multistage manufacturing processes. Effective SPC approaches for monitoring and controlling quality in multistage ... -
Monitoring multistage processes with autocorrelated observations
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2017 , Article)In multistage manufacturing processes, autocorrelations within stages over time are prevalent and the classical control charts are often ineffective in monitoring such processes. In this paper, we derive a linear state ... -
Monitoring of simple linear quality profiles using dEWMA statistic under uncertainty of process deviations
( IEOM Society , 2019 , Conference Paper)The quality of process or product is often characterized by the univariate or multivariate distribution of quality characteristics. The linear profiles are widely used to model the relationship between dependent and ... -
Monolithic Carbon Nanotube Film Thermoelectric Generator

Mucoadhesive chitosan derivatives as novel drug carriers
( Bentham Science Publishers B.V. , 2015 , Article)Chitosan on its own is a well-established natural polymer and is widely regarded as a biodegradable, biocompatible and nontoxic material for drug delivery applications. Although unmodified chitosan has some mucoadhesive ... -
Multi-generation energy system based on geothermal source to produce power, cooling, heating, and fresh water: Exergoeconomic analysis and optimum selection by LINMAP method
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)The current study deals with thermodynamic modeling and multi-objective optimization of a new multi-generation energy system using geothermal as the primary energy source. The proposed system includes a Kalina cycle, a ... -
Multi-objective optimal design of hybrid renewable energy systems using PSO-simulation based approach
( Elsevier Ltd , 2014 , Article)Recently, the increasing energy demand has caused dramatic consumption of fossil fuels and unavoidable raising energy prices. Moreover, environmental effect of fossil fuel led to the need of using renewable energy (RE) to ... -
Multi-objective optimisation of facility location decisions within integrated forward/reverse logistics under uncertainty
( Inderscience Publishers , 2016 , Article)Increasing interest to the environmental, social and economic aspects of the supply chains has motivated supply chain managers to optimise location-allocation decisions within closed-loop logistics networks. This paper ... -
Multi-sensor degradation data analysis
( Italian Association of Chemical Engineering - AIDIC , 2013 , Conference Paper)Multiple sensors are commonly used for degradation monitoring of critical components. The degradation indicators derived from these sensors are significantly different in terms of scale and interpretation. Since these ... -
