Bevacizumab, a 149-kDa protein, is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody to VEGF. PEDF, a 50-kDa glycoprotein, has demonstrated anti-vasopermeability properties. In this study, we demonstrated that the combination of bevacizumab and plasmid pigment epithelium-derived factor-synthetic amphiphile INTeraction-18(p-PEDF-SAINT-18) has a favorable antiangiogenic effect on corneal NV. Four group...

This paper proposes an evolved Self-Adaptive Interactive Navigation Tool (SAINT+) to reduce the delivery time of emergency services and to improve navigation efficiency for the vehicles influenced by accidents. To the best of our knowledge, SAINT+ is the first attempt to optimize the delivery of emergency services as well as the navigation routes of vehicles around accident areas. Based on the ...

Seasonal distribution of adult Atlantic sturgeon was examined using pop-up satellite archival tags (PSATs) and ultrasonic transmitters deployed in the Saint John River, New Brunswick, Canada. Seven MK10 PSATs programmed for release in June 2012 and seven MiniPAT PSATs programmed for release in February and April 2013 were deployed in August 2011 and 2012, respectively. Eleven of 14 PSATs surfac...
