background: current anti-cancer drug therapy results in systemic side effects due to non-specific uptake by normal healthy noncancerous tissues. to alleviate this difficulty, many attempts have been devoted to the development of new delivery systems such as polymeric nanoparticles (nps). in this study, we prepared icd-85 nps based on sodium alginate and analyzed the cytotoxic activity of icd-85...

Business process reengineering (BPR) involves the radical redesign of functional organizations into crossfunctional teams to achieve dramatic improvements in productivity. Redesigning complex and dynamic processes in research and development (R&D) organizations with multi-layer projects is a difficult task. Previous researchers have proposed many intuitive approaches for BPR utilizing intuition...

In this paper, the authors address the distribution of efficiency gains among partially autonomous supply network actors in a manner they will accept as fair and as an incentive to cooperation. The problem is economically significant because it requires substantiating efficiency gains in an understandable manner. Moreover, supply networks suffer from a conflict potential because the partially a...

BACKGROUND: Many work places require standing for prolonged periods of time and are potentially damaging to health, with links to musculoskeletal disorders and acute trauma from workplace accidents. Footwear provides the only interaction between the body and the ground and therefore a potential means to impact musculoskeletal disorders. However, there is very limited research into the necessary...
