The stratum corneum is a major barrier of drug penetration across the skin in transdermal delivery. For effective transdermal drug delivery, skin penetration enhancers are used to overcome this barrier. In the past decades, a number of research studies were conducted to understand the mechanisms of skin penetration enhancers and to develop a structure enhancement relationship. Such understandin...

The composition of biologic molecules isolated from biominerals suggests that control of mineral growth is linked to biochemical features. Here, we define a systematic relationship between the ability of biomolecules in solution to promote the growth of calcite (CaCO3) and their net negative molecular charge and hydrophilicity. The degree of enhancement depends on peptide composition, but not o...

In delivering the contents of World Health Organization’s Covid-19 Myth-busters, creator realized clause complexes besides simplexes. This research focuses on analyzing logico-semantic relation complex. Thus, it can reveal creator’s intention in realizing when conveying myth-busters to people world. utilizes a qualitative-descriptive method. There are 48 expansion relationships myth-busters. Th...

In this work we consider ontologies as knowledge structures that specify terms, their properties and relations among them to enable knowledge extraction from texts. We represent ontologies using a graph-based model that reflect semantic relationship between concepts and apply them to text analysis and comparison. Instead of raw document comparison we compare document footprint enhanced with con...

A novel procedure for fingerprint enhancement filter design is described. Fingerprints are best used as unique and invariant identifiers of individuals. Identification of fingerprint images is based on matching the features obtained from a query image against those stored in a database. Poor quality of fingerprint images makes serious problems in the performance of subsequent matching process. ...

the current study aims to examine the relationship of socrates with classic tragedy and assess these two cases. the rise of poetic tragedy in the form of dramas of “aeschylus” was accompanied with periods of enhancement of socrates. socrates got familiar with the dramas of aeschylus in his youth in athen. being inspired by the religious content of tragedy based on fate, justice and righteousnes...

BACKGROUND Gadolinium enhancement on high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been proposed as a marker of inflammation and instability in intracranial atherosclerotic plaque. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to summarize the association between intracranial atherosclerotic plaque enhancement and acute ischemic stroke. METHODS AND RESULTS We searched the medical ...

the purpose of the present study was to determine whether noticing through input enhancement had any impact on the acquisition of english conditional sentences in iranian efl learners. two intact classes with 26 female students in each were chosen. a proficiency test administered at the commencement of the study showed that the two groups were homogeneous in terms of their language proficiency....

Purpose: Relationship between CT or MR images and histological findings, especially vascularity, has not been adequately evaluated. The purpose of this study was to investigate correlation between contrast enhancement on CT and MRI and histological findings in posterior mediastinal ganglioneuromas. Materials and Methods: Contrast-enhanced (CE) CT (n = 11) and CE MRI (n = 5) of 12 patients with ...
