In this study, Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was employed to select the best method for the preparation of Nateglinide (NTG)loaded nanoparticles. There are various techniques available for the development of nanoparticles like Nanoprecipitation or Solvent displacement, Ionic gelation, Solvent evaporation method etc. and choosing the best method is a crucial one. AHP is one of the widely us...

this study has been done to survey of solvent system effect on extraction of grape seed extract and its antimicrobial properties. for this purpose, grape seed extracts were extracted with six different solvent systems. minimum bactericidal concentration (mbc) of extract on six spoilage and food-born pathogens was determined. the results indicated that mbc of different extracts have no significa...

background: the aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of shape, diameter and length of implants on their primary stability based on resonance frequency analysis. materials and methods: replace select tapered and branemark mk iii implants were selected. each of these two selected groups was divided into nine subgroups based on the implant length (il) (short, medium and long) and ...

In this work, separation of cobalt(II) over lithium(I) ions from aqueous chloride solutions by synergistic solvent extraction (SX) has been studied. A synergistic mixture of commercial extractants such as bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)phosphinic acid (Cyanex 272) and tributyl phosphate (TBP) in kerosene was used as a selective extractant. The investigations were first performed to select optimal co...

pdbFun (http://pdbfun.uniroma2.it) is a web server for structural and functional analysis of proteins at the residue level. pdbFun gives fast access to the whole Protein Data Bank (PDB) organized as a database of annotated residues. The available data (features) range from solvent exposure to ligand binding ability, location in a protein cavity, secondary structure, residue type, sequence funct...

This work used a literature search to select the most suitable system for delignification process of annual plants. was evaluated in terms lignin removal from plant biomass. Based on previous experiments, low transition temperature mixture (LTTM) used, which choline chloride and lactic acid molar ratio 1:2. Samples hemp fibers were examined. The biomass monitored by changing content main compon...

The Vertica SQL Query Optimizer was written from the ground up for the Vertica Analytic Database. Its design, and the tradeoffs we encountered during implementation, support the case that the full power of novel database systems can be realized only with a custom Query Optimizer, carefully crafted exclusively for the system in which it operates.

We propose a technique that predicts both if and how expansion should be applied to individual queries. The prediction is made on the basis of the topical consistency of the top results of the initial results lists returned by the unexpanded query and several query expansion alternatives. We use the coherence score, known to capture the tightness of topical clustering structure, and also propos...

The constant increase in use of geographic data in different application domains has resulted in large amounts of data stored in spatial databases and in the desire of data mining. Many solutions for spatial data mining have been proposed. Most create data mining languages or extend existing query languages to support data mining operations. This paper presents an interoperable framework for sp...
