Magnetic nanoparticles can bind to different drug delivery systems and can be used for drug targeting to a specific organ by using an external magnetic field as well as used in hyperthermia by heating in alternating magnetic fields. The characteristics of iron oxide nanoparticles are significantly affected by particle size, shape and zeta potential, among which the particle size plays the most ...

Creating applications using object-oriented frameworks is often difficult, since subclassing plays a too important role. Subclassing is a “white-box” form of reuse, and thus requires the developer to understand the underlying implementation. In the approach described in this paper, class composition is introduced as a form of black-box class reuse. It may be seen to extend the concept of parame...

In this paper we present the Reactor Pattern to enable the modelling of processes that consume inputs and produce outputs under specific environmental conditions and on being triggered by certain events. Reactor pattern is a content ontology design pattern and is especially targeted towards modelling reactive processes with a “black box” view of the process.
