Anti-Inflammatory Properties of Dendrimers per se

Dendrimers are polybranched and polyfunctionalized tree-like polymers. Unlike linear polymers, they have perfectly defined structure and molecular weight, due to their iterative step-by-step synthesis. Their multivalent structure and supramolecular properties have made them attractive nanotools for applications, particularly in biology and medicine. Among the different biological and medical pr...

Per-se Privacy Preserving Distributed Optimization

Distributed optimization is a fundamental mathematical theory for parallel and distributed systems. Several applications are normally designed based on such a theory, where parties cooperatively exchange messages with little or no central coordination to achieve some goals. In many situations, the transactions among the parties must be private, such as among members of social networks, hospital...

Parking Garages with Optimal Dynamics

We construct generalized polygons (‘parking garages’) in which the billiard flow satisfies the Veech dichotomy, although the associated translation surface obtained from the Zemlyakov-Katok unfolding is not a lattice surface. We also explain the difficulties in constructing a genuine polygon with these properties.

Salivary flow rates, per se, may not serve as consistent predictors for dental caries

Background: This clinical study evaluated the effects of salivary flow rate, age, race, health status and medications on the incidence of caries. Methods: Caucasian and African-American men and women (n = 501), aged 22 93 years participated in the study. Stimulated (S) and unstimulated (U) parotid (P) and submandibular glands (SM) salivary secretions were collected. Stimulated whole saliva (SWS...
