Exosomes: Multiple-targeted multifunctional biological nanoparticles in the diagnosis, drug delivery, and imaging of cancer cells
(2020 , Article)Exosomes are biological nanoparticles (30−150 nm) secreted in the extracellular area from all of cells, that mediate intercellular message. Exosomes act as the carriers for numerous proteins, DNAs, RNAs and cell-signaling ... -
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (Lamp): A rapid, sensitive, specific, and cost-effective point-of-care test for coronaviruses in the context of covid-19 pandemic
( MDPI , 2020 , Article)The rampant spread of COVID-19 and the worldwide prevalence of infected cases demand a rapid, simple, and cost-effective Point of Care Test (PoCT) for the accurate diagnosis of this pandemic. The most common molecular tests ... -
Combined chemo-magnetic field-photothermal breast cancer therapy based on porous magnetite nanospheres
( Nature Research , 2020 , Article)The efficacy of different modalities of treating breast cancer is inhibited by several limitations such as off-targeted drug distribution, rapid drug clearance, and drug resistance. To overcome these limitations, we developed ... -
Lifted polynomial size formulations for the homogeneous and heterogeneous vehicle routing problems
( Elsevier B.V. , 2017 , Article)We propose compact formulations for the symmetric and asymmetric capacitated vehicle routing problems. These formulations are obtained by lifting, using the Reformulation-Linearization Technique, a novel polynomial size ... -
Effect of multi-pass friction stir processing on the microstructure, mechanical and wear properties of AA5083/ZrO2 nanocomposites
( Elsevier Ltd , 2017 , Article)In this study, multi-pass friction stir processing using zirconia nanoparticles was performed on AA5083 sheets to fabricate surface nanocomposites. Effect of using different number of passes on the microstructure, ... -
Band gap and dispersion characteristics of structures with viscoelastically damped resonant periodic inserts
( Institute of Mechanics and Mechatronics, Faculty of Mechanical, TU Wien , 2017 , Conference)[No abstract available] -
Application of graph-theoretic approach for the evaluation of lean-six-sigma (LSS) critical-success-factors (CSFs) facilitating quality-audits in Indian small & medium enterprises (SMEs)
( Emerald Group Publishing Ltd. , 2019 , Article)Purpose: One of the major challenges for developing countries is the lack of mechanisms for the evaluation of critical success factors (CSFs) of quality initiatives, which hampers the journey toward sustainability. Lean ... -
Phenolic contents-based assessment of therapeutic potential of Syzygium cumini leaves extract
( Public Library of Science , 2019 , Article)Syzygium cumini (S. cumini) is an evergreen tropical plant that is well recognized for its therapeutic potential of common diseases. In this study, the therapeutic potential and biomedical application of S. cumini are ... -
An Efficient Heuristic for Pooled Repair Shop Designs
( Springer Verlag , 2019 , Conference)An effective spare part supply system planning is essential to achieve a high capital asset availability. We investigate the design problem of a repair shop in a single echelon repairable multi-item spare parts supply ... -
Transient response of porous inhomogeneous nanobeams due to various impulsive loads based on nonlocal strain gradient elasticity
( Springer Netherlands , 2019 , Article)Transient vibration responses of a porosity-dependent functionally graded nanobeam under different impulsive loadings have been investigated in the context of non-local strain gradient theory. Three impulse loads of ... -
Study on the effects of tool tile angle, offset and plunge depth on friction stir welding of poly(methyl methacrylate) T-joint
( SAGE Publications Ltd , 2019 , Article)The effects of tilt angle (TTA), plunge depth (TPD) and offset (TO) of tool in friction stir welding of poly(methyl methacrylate) T-joint were investigated. To understand better the effects of process parameter, thermomechanical ... -
