Triggerable plasmalogen liposomes: improvement of system efficiency

Light-Triggerable Liposomes for Enhanced Endolysosomal Escape and Gene Silencing in PC12 Cells

Liposomes are an effective gene and/or drug delivery system, widely used in biomedical applications including gene therapy and chemotherapy. Here, we designed a photo-responsive liposome (lipVP) loaded with a photosensitizer verteporfin (VP). This photosensitizer is clinically approved for photodynamic therapy (PDT). LipVP was employed as a DNA carrier for pituitary adenylyl cyclase-activating ...

Efficiency Improvement of Advanced Τ-cdma System with Noncoherent Detection

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...

Modified MWOOC for Spectral Efficiency Improvement in 2D OCDMA system

Classical Multi Wavelength Optical Orthogonal Code (MWOOC) constructions impose several conditions on the code parameters. These limit the Optical Code Division Multiple Access (OCDMA) system potentialities in terms of performance and practical implementation. In this paper, a modified MWOOC construction is used to overcome these limitations. Indeed, this method permits designing 2D codes with ...

1 Efficiency Improvement Techniques

This paper provides an overview of the five most commonly used statistical techniques for improving the efficiency of stochastic simulations: control variates, common random numbers, importance sampling, conditional Monte Carlo, and stratification. The paper also describes a mathematical framework for discussion of efficiency issues that quantifies the trade-off between lower variance and highe...
