in recent years, encapsulation of drugs and antigens in hydrogels, specifically in calcium alginate particles, is an interesting and practical technique that was developed widespread. it is well known that alginate solution, under proper conditions, can form suitable nanoparticles as a promising carrier system, for vaccine delivery. the aim of this study was to synthesis alginate nanoparticles ...

AbstractIn the last step of desolvation method for preparation of albumin nanoparticles, glutaraldehyde (GA) is added to stabilize the newly formed nanoparticles. Due to undesirable effects of GA, the objective of this study was to evaluate alternative methods of crosslinking including ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, adding of glucose and combination of both methods. The nanoparticles were prepar...

Background: Lipase is an enzyme with immense application potential. Ester synthesis by lipase catalysis in organic media is an area of key industrial relevance. Enzymatic preparations with traits that cater to the needs of this function are hence being intensely researched. Objective: The objectives of the study were to immobilize the lipase from Bacillus sp. PS35 by cross-linking and adsorpti...

Psychological problems play a critical role in development of cardiovascular disease. Several mechanisms were suggested to explain the association and mechanism of this effect, recently. Knowledge of the mechanisms mediating the association between psychological status and heart disease could help in developing treatments. The effects of mind and mood on the cardiovascular system can be due to ...

in this commentary, we establish a relationship between medical sociology and the study of medical tourism and cross-border healthcare by introducing ronald andersen’s behavioral model of healthcare use, and linking this model to the recent empirical study of kovacs et al. on patients travelling to hungary for orthopedic treatment. finally, we plead for more measurement in the field of patient ...

This study investigated the influence that modality (print versus spoken text) had on learning with deep reasoning questions. Half the participants were randomly assigned to receive deep-reasoning questions during the learning session. The other half received the same information in the absence of deep-reasoning questions. The participants who received deep reasoning questions were randomly ass...

Basis Technology participated in the TAC Entity-Link task of the Knowledge Base Population track at TAC 2012. We developed a supervised learning approach which produces a single model that is capable of operating across all languages and entity types. Our features are based on the outputs of other models, many of which are unsupervised.
