Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignancies in men. Charles Huggins and Clarence V. Hodges reported the androgen dependence of prostate cancer in 1941. That led to the utilization of androgen deprivation therapy as an important therapeutic modality to treat prostate cancer. Androgen deprivation therapy has additional systemic effects that include sexual dysfunction, psychological cha...

We derive an expression for the free energy of the blends of block copolymers expressed as a functional of the density distribution of the monomer of each block. The expression is a generalization of the Flory-Huggins-de Gennes theory for homo polymer blends, and also a generalization of the Ohta-Kawasaki theory for the melts of diblock copolymers. The expression can be used for any blends of h...

The electrosorption behaviour of non-ionic surfactant: N-decanoyl-N-methylglucamine on mercury electrode in 1 mol dm−3 NaClO4 solution was determined. The values of the relative surface excess were determined on the basis of double layer differential capacity. A set of parameters of maximal adsorption and the constants of Frumkin, modified Flory-Huggins and virial adsorption isotherms were obta...

The objective of this work is to investigate the effect of alkali content and temperature on the microstructure of lithium borate glasses, xLi2O · (1 − x)B2O3. We have applied the molecular dynamics technique with Ewald summation and periodic boundary conditions to a collection of ca. 256 particles confined within a primitive cubic cell and interacting through a BornMayer-Huggins type of potent...

In this study, thermodynamic properties, namely retention volume, infinitely dilute weight fraction activity coefficient, Flory–Huggins interaction parameter, solubility parameter of the polymer, partition coefficient and diffusion coefficients of the various solvents in poly(methyl methacrylate co butyl methacrylate) (PMMA co BMA) at infinite dilution of the solvent have been determined by inv...
