Recent Progress in Allergen Immunotherapy

The efficacy of allergen immunotherapy for the treatment of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis with or without seasonal bronchial asthma and anaphylaxis caused by the sting of the hymenoptera class of insects has been clearly demonstrated in numerous well-designed, placebo-controlled trials. Immunotherapy whether by subcutaneous injection of allergen extract or by oral/sublingual routes modifies peri...

Literature Survey on Recent Progress in Inter-Vehicle Communication Simulations

The vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) technology based on the approved IEEE 802.11p standard and the appendant inter-vehicle communication (IVC) has the potential to dramatically change the way transportation systems work. The fundamental idea is to change the individual behavior of each vehicle by exchanging information among traffic participants to realize a cooperative and more efficient tran...

Recent Progress on Improving the Sustainability of Membrane Fabrication

Although the membrane process is recognized as a green technology and is considered as a key player in the process intensification movement, it is not widely known that the fabrication of membrane itself generates significant amount of waste. With the growing membrane market, more efforts must be placed on improving the sustainability of membrane fabrication such as replacing toxic organic solv...

Recent Progress on QUE

In Figure 1 the domains Ω E , Ω S , Ω B are an ellipse, a stadium and a " Barnett " billiard table respectively. Superimposed on these are the densities of a sequence of high frequency eigenfunctions (" states " , " modes ") of the Laplacian. That is solutions to △φ j + λ j φ j = 0, Ω φ 2 j dxdy = 1 φ j ∂ Ω = 0 (Dirichlet boundary conditions) where △ = divgrad = ∂ 2 ∂x 2 + ∂ 2 ∂y 2 and λ 1 < λ ...
