curcumin is a natural polyphenolic compound with anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidation properties. low water solubility and rapid hydrolytic degradation are two challenges limiting use of curcumin as therapeutic agent. in the current study, the role of the bovine serum albumin (bsa), β-lactoglobulin and casein, as food-grade biopolymers and safe drug delivery systems, on the physic...

Zusammenfassung—Zum Testen verteilter bzw. vernetzter Systeme existieren zahlreiche Werkzeuge, etwa [1]–[3], welche für das Rapid Prototyping und die Fehler-Rekonstruktion unerlässlich sind. Durch verschieden stark abstrahierte Modelle lassen sich auf diese Weise, bereits früh in der Entwicklung verteilter Systeme, Aussagen über Performanz, Konsistenz und Korrektheit von Netzwerkprotokollen tre...

rapid expansions of new location-based services signify the need for finding accurate localization techniques for indoor environments. among different techniques, rss-based  schemes and in particular oneof its variants which is based on graph-based semi-supervised learning (g-ssl) are widely-used approaches the superiority of this scheme is that it has low setup/training cost and at the same ti...

Turbomachinery disks are heavy, highly stressed components used in gas turbines. Improved design of turbomachinery disks could yield a significant reduction in engine weight. This paper focuses on rapid low fidelity design and optimization of isotropic and transversely isotropic disks. Discussion includes the development of a one dimensional plane stress model, disk parameterization methods, an...
