Given the broad use of nanostructured crystalline titania films, an environmentally friendly and more sustainable synthesis route is highly desirable. Here, a water-based, low-temperature presented to synthesize foam-like films. A pearl necklace-like nanostructure introduced as tailored morphology via biotemplating with major bovine whey protein ß-lactoglobulin (ß-lg). It shown that crystalliza...

rides consisting of six or more cr-1,4-linked Dglucopyranose units which possess primary hydroxyl groups at the C-6 positions and secondary hydroxyl groups at the C-2 and C-3 positions. Because cyclomaltooligosaccharides have a hydrophobic and optically active interior, they have been utilized as transporters of hydrophobic molecules and as small molecular mimics of enzymes. One of the cyclomal...

Several attempts have been made to improve the solubility of water insoluble drugs. Over the years, inclusion complexation of drugs with β-cyclodextrin has emerged as a viable attempt to improve the dissolution of water insoluble drugs. The aim of the present work was to improve the dissolution rate of lovastatin, a water insoluble drug, by inclusion complexation with β-cyclodextrin. The stoich...

The ability of β-cyclodextrin, hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, polyvinyl pyrrolidone and urea to influence the percutaneous absorption of meloxicam through isolated rat skin was evaluated. Carrier complex were prepared by kneading method in 1:1 and 1:2 in molar ratios for β-cyclodextrin and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin and in 1:1, 1:3 and 1:5 in weight ratios for polyvinyl pyrrolidone and urea. T...

Exponential windowing is a widely used technique for suppressing the effects of old data as new data is added to a matrix. Specifically, given an n x p matrix Xn and a "forgetting factor" ß € (0, 1 ), one works with the matrix diag(/i'1_1, ß"~2, ... , \)Xn ■ In this paper we examine an updating algorithm for computing the QR factorization of diag(/j"-1, ß"~2 , ... , \)X„ and show that it is unc...

Multiple recognition by cyclodextrin in a bimolecular reaction, namely bromination of styrene, methyl cinnamate, phenylacetylene and allylbenzene, has been studied. Bromohydrin is obtained as a major product along with dibromide in the bromination of styrene and methyl cinnamate. The percentage of bromohydrin decreases as the cavity size increases. With phenylacetylene, bromophenylacetylene and...

The objective of the work was to develop a multifunctional nanomedicine based on a folate-conjugated lipid nanoparticles loaded with paclitaxel and curcumin. The novel system combines therapeutic advantageous of efficient targeted delivery via folate and timed-release of curcumin and paclitaxel via 2-hydroxypropyl-ß-cyclodextrin, thereby overcoming multidrug resistance in breast cancer cells (M...

The objective of this work was to determine bonding characteristics of a hydrophilic monomer formulation containing polymerizable cyclodextrin derivatives. The hypothesis was that a formulation containing hydrophilic cross-linking diluent comonomers and cyclodextrins with functional groups attached by hydrolytically stable ether linkages could form strong adhesive bonds to dentin. The previousl...
