Sample preparation is still considered the bottle-neck of whole analytical process. Nowadays, several sample techniques are available, however all them suffer from lack selectivity. At this regard, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) excellent materials able to perform selective extractions. Recently, new objectives in have been set, including use smaller initial sizes; facilitate automation;...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Resistance training (RT) enhances muscle protein synthesis and hypertrophy while increasing strength and power. Some multi-ingredient performance supplements (MIPS) have been shown to augment the physiological improvements associated with RT. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of specific pre- and post-workout MIPS on anabolic hormones, body composi...

This paper presents an attempt at an early investigation or exploration of the trade-off between MIPS cost and memory cost. The cost model is an approximation based on knowledge of the application behavior and algorithm inner loop costs for the hardware architecture, which consists of a control processor and a SIMD processor. The application is an H.264 video decoder. Various memory configurati...

Significant advances have been presented in the last decades field of biomedical analysis and sensing, especially pertaining to routine procedures based on immunologic nucleic acids, including enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) real-time polymerase chain reaction (RTq-PCR). Despite their efficiency, some limitations such as reagent stability availability, cost cumbersome still limit furt...

The origin of the improved performance Molecular Imprinted Polymers (MIPs) prepared by Nitroxide-Mediated Radical Deactivation Reversible Polymerization (NMRP) and conventional Free (FRP) was investigated through a detailed interpretation adsorption onto imprinted- non-imprinted materials. MIPs designed for 3,5-dichlorohydroxyacetophenone (DCHA) were copolymers methacrylic acid styrene cross-li...

The review describes the development of batch solid phase extraction procedures based on dispersive (micro)solid with molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) and magnetic MIPs (MMIPs). Advantages disadvantages various for are discussed. In addition, an effort has also been made to condense information regarding MMIPs since there a great variety supports (magnetite magnetite composites carbon nano...

Model-Integrated Computing, specifically Model-Integrated Program Synthesis (MIPS) environments that include visual model building, constraint management, and automatic program synthesis components, are well suited for the design and implementation of complex computerbased systems. However, building such an environment from scratch for each new domain can be cost-prohibitive. This paper present...

We study the partitioning of temporal planning problems formulated as mixed-integer nonlinear programming problems, develop methods to reduce the search space of partitioned subproblems, and propose algorithms for resolving unsatisfied global constraints. The algorithms are based on the necessary and sufficient extended saddle-point condition for constrained local minimization developed in this...
