Big Punches Come in Nanosizes for Chemoprevention

Big punches come in nanosizes for chemoprevention.

Literature to support the chemopreventive potential of several bioactive molecules has been prolific and convincing, but the clinical development of these agents has been slow. Major hurdles for development of bioactive chemoprevention approaches include low potency, lack of reliable formulations with high bioavailability that are suitable for oral administration, and relevant preclinical prima...

Big things come in small packages

#Microposts2015, the 5th workshop on Making Sense of Microposts, is summarised by the sub-theme: big things come in small packages. The workshop was borne out of research we were each carrying out as microblogging platforms became increasingly popular, and their value as a publishing platform and the data generated as a result began to be recognised. This phenomenon continues to grow, as microb...

A simple algorithm for stamping circular plates by hemispherical punches

This paper proposes a simple algorithm for solving the contact problems in relation to sheet stamping. The efficiency and reliability of the algorithm are demonstrated by an investigation of the stamping of elastic-plastic circular plates into a conical die with a hemispherical rigid punch. The analysis shows that the contact stress varies greatly with the punch displacement and deviates from t...

An Improved Big Bang-Big Crunch Algorithm for Estimating Three-Phase Induction Motors Efficiency

Nowadays, the most generated electrical energy is consumed by three-phase induction motors. Thus, in order to carry out preventive measurements and maintenances and eventually employing high-efficiency motors, the efficiency evaluation of induction motors is vital. In this paper, a novel and efficient method based on Improved Big Bang-Big Crunch (I-BB-BC) Algorithm is presented for efficiency e...
