For a topological dynamical system (X, f), consisting of a continuous map f : X → X, and a (not necessarily compact) set Z ⊂ X, Bowen [2] defined a dimension-like version of entropy, hX(f, Z). In the same work, he introduced a notion of entropyconjugacy for pairs of invertible compact systems: the systems (X, f) and (Y, g) are entropy-conjugate if there exist invariant Borel sets X ′ ⊂ X and Y ...

The use of artificial neural networks has increased in many areas of engineering. In particular, this method has been applied to many geotechnical engineering problems and demonstrated some degree of success. A review of the literature reveals that it has been used successfully in modeling soil behavior, site characterization, earth retaining structures, settlement of structures, slope stabilit...

in this study, poly(ethylene-co-vinyl alcohol) (evoh) as a novel biocompatible polymeric scaffold was surface modified by succinylation to get evohs and further pegylated to improve structural properties using methoxypolyethylene glycol (5000 da) succinate (pegs) along with targeting with retinoic acid (ra) to get final modified active and passive targeted conjugate (pegs-evohs-ra) to evaluate ...

The efficacy of methotrexate (MTX) as an antimetabolite chemotherapeutic agent highly depends on its blood circulation half-life. In our previous study, different conjugates of MTX (MTX-PEG) were synthesized, their physicochemical properties were investigated and MTX-PEG5000 was finally selected as optimum drug-conjugate for further investigations. In the current work, first the stability of MT...

ELISA data is usually handled in the MS Excel worksheets through different methods and different formulas. Accurate and precise calculations of the data is time consuming and tedious. ELISA Analyzer was developed with a user friendly interface to streamline titration and analysis of the data obtained from ELISA and improve rapid and lucid presentation of the results. The software can also hel...
