The State-of-the-Art in Biomimetics

Identification and Prioritization of the State-of-the-Art Technologies in the Management of Iranian Public Libraries

Purpose: State-of-the-art technology refers to the best and latest technological advancement possible at a particular time. Today, public libraries play a key role in the various cultural and social spheres of society. Although various technologies can help to fulfill the basic roles of public libraries correctly and completely, their application in the context of these libraries undoubtedly fa...

Enzyme Immobilization: The State of Art in Biotechnology

The advantages of immobilized enzyme over its soluble counterpart arise from their improved stability andeasy separation from the reaction media, leading to decrease in production cost. Immobilization methodsrange from adsorption onto matrices, entrapment, cross-linking and covalent bonding to prefabricatedcarriers or activated supports. Changes in kinetic properties of immobi...

Topographic - based Model of the Creative Art through Revolutionary Culture in Iran

If we accept this idea that in talking about art, there is a chasm between thought and unthought debating on art theory in the sociohistorical context of after revolutionary Iran requires at least two items in which understanding and creating art meet one another: 1) Art as door separates intelligible from sensible, rational from irrational, and logos from pathos as well and 2) Art as brid...

State of the art of stimuli-responsive liposomes for cancer therapy

Specific delivery of therapeutic agents to solid tumors and their bioavailability at the target site are the most clinically important and challenging goals in cancer therapy. Liposomes are promising nanocarriers and have been well investigated for cancer therapy. In spite of preferred accumulation in tumors via the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect, inefficient drug release at t...
