Ultrasound-mediated delivery enhances therapeutic efficacy of MMP sensitive liposomes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)To improve therapeutic efficacy of nanocarrier drug delivery systems, it is essential to improve their uptake and penetration in tumour tissue, enhance cellular uptake and ensure efficient drug release at the tumour site. ... -
Ultrasound-Mediated Delivery of Chemotherapy into the Transgenic Adenocarcinoma of the Mouse Prostate Model
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Ultrasound (US) in combination with microbubbles (MB) has had promising results in improving delivery of chemotherapeutic agents. However, most studies are done in immunodeficient mice with xenografted tumors. We used two ... -
Uncertainty propagation through a point model for steady-state two-phase pipe flow
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Uncertainty propagation is used to quantify the uncertainty in model predictions in the presence of uncertain input variables. In this study, we analyze a steady-state point-model for two-phase gas-liquid flow. We present ... -
Uncertainty quantification and sensitivity analysis of material parameters in crystal plasticity finite element models
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)A number of studies have directly compared measurements of polycrystals’ deformation to the solution of a crystal plasticity model of the same polycrystal. An accurate representation of the full 3D microstructure and the ... -

Understanding of K and Mg co-promoter effect in ethylene oxychlorination by operando UV–vis-NIR spectroscopy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The comprehensive kinetic study for CuCl2/γ-Al2O3-based catalysts was performed to elucidate the co-promoter effect in the ethylene oxychlorination, one of the most significant industrial processes to produce vinyl chloride ... -
Understanding precipitation in amino acid salt systems at process conditions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)Rapid screening experiment has been used to acquire first-hand information on the precipitation characteristics of 14 aqueous amino acid salt systems. Absorption tests at 40°C have shown that at high concentrations, amino ... -
Understanding the patterns that neural networks learn from chemical spectra
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Analysing spectra from experimental characterization of materials is time consuming, susceptible to distortions in data, requires specific domain knowledge, and may be susceptible to biases in general heuristics under human ... -
A unified and simple medium for growing model methanogens
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Apart from their archetypic use in anaerobic digestion (AD) methanogenic archaea are targeted for a wide range of applications. Using different methanogenic archaea for one specific application requires the optimization ... -
Unimolecular Decomposition Reactions of Picric Acid and its Methylated Derivatives — A DFT Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)To handle energetic materials safely, it is important to have knowledge about their sensitivity. Density functional theory (DFT) has proven a valuable tool in the study of energetic materials, and in the current work, DFT ... -
The unique hybrid precipitate in a peak-aged Al-Cu-Mg-Ag alloy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The prevalent hardening phase forming in an Al-Cu-Mg-Ag alloy after peak-aging at 150 and 190 °C has been investigated using transmission electron microscopy methods. The precipitate atomic structure was determined. It is ... -
