Pharmaceutical crops is an ambiguous term used by biologists and chemists for different categories of plants. This review focuses on the definition and scope of pharmaceutical crops. We define pharmaceutical crops as those cultivated species that are used for extraction or preparation of therapeutic substances such as active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), excipients used in pharmaceutical f...

Software Transactional Memory (STM) systems have emerged as a powerful middleware paradigm for parallel programming. At current date, however, the problem of how to leverage replication to enhance dependability and scalability of STMs is still largely unexplored. In this paper we present Asynchronous Lease Certification (ALC), an innovative STM replication scheme that exploits the notion of asy...

We present an architecture called Accredited DomainKeys, which builds on the DomainKeys email authentication infrastructure to address the following questions: • “Did the sender actually send this email?” • “Is the sender of this email trustworthy?” The proposed DomainKeys architecture already addresses the first question but not the second. Accredited DomainKeys strengthens the reliability of ...

I n 2015, physicists discovered a new topological state of matter known as a Weyl semimetal. Electronic excitations in such a material do not behave as nearly free electrons, like in most metals. Instead, they can effectively be described as massless relativistic particles with properties similar to photons. Beside their fundamental interest, the exotic behavior of Weyl fermion materials motiva...

Popular blockchains such as Ethereum and several others execute complex transactions in the block through user-defined scripts known smart contracts. Serial execution of contract transactions/atomic units (AUs) fails to harness multiprocessing power offered by prevalence multi-core processors. By adding concurrency AUs, we can achieve better efficiency higher throughput. In this paper, develop ...

The controlled design of robust, well reproducible, and functional nanomaterials made according to simple processes is key importance envision future applications. In the field porous materials, tuning nanoparticle features such as specific area, pore size morphology by adjusting parameters pH, temperature or solvent highly needed. this work, we address tunable control mesoporous silica (MS) na...

The purpose of this research was to investigate and improve the accuracy existing slab-track mat (STM) specifications in evaluation vibration reduction effect. static nonlinearity dynamic mechanical characteristics three types STMs were tested, then a modified fractional derivative Poynting–Thomson (FDPT) model used characterize preload frequency dependence. A vehicle–floating slab track (FST) ...

BACKGROUND Highly-competent patient care is paramount to medicine. Quality training and patient accessibility to physicians with a wide range of specializations is essential. Yet, poor quality of life for physicians cannot be ignored, being detrimental to patient care and leading to personnel leaving the medical profession. In 2004, the Japanese government reformed postgraduate training for med...
