The systemic pharmacological treatment of disease is limited by severe toxicity to normal organs/tissue. Therefore, various delivery vehicles have been designed to carry therapeutic drugs to their target tissues. We designed a novel vehicle formed by the interaction of biotins in a DNA (polymer) with avidins (crosslink), resulting in a porous particle. This self-assembled (HSAM) nanoparticle ve...

DEA methodology allows DMUs to select the weights freely, so in the optimalsolution we may see many zeros in the optimal weight. to overcome this prob-lem, there are some methods, but they are not suitable for evaluating DMUswith fuzzy data. In this paper, we propose a new method for solving fuzzyDEA models with restricted multipliers with less computation, and comparethis method with Liu''''''...

We study a nematic crystal model appearing in [Liu et al.,2007] modeling stretching effects depending on the different shape of microscopic molecules of the material, under periodic boundary conditions. The aim of the present article is twofold: to extend the results given in [Sun & Liu, 2009], to a model with more complete stretching terms and to obtain some stability and asymptotic stability ...

Facebook is the most dominant social networking site in colleges right now. According to a recent study done by OnlineEducation.net on college students' use of social media in the U.S., 96 percent of college students use Facebook. In addition, 75 percent of college students report that they want to collaborate online with each other via Facebook (Andrew, 2011). Because of the popularity of Face...

fundamentally from its desktop or Internet counterparts. Embedded computing is not simply computation on small devices. In most control applications, for example, embedded software engages the physical world. It reacts to physical and user-interaction events, performs computation on limited and competing resources, and produces results that further impact the environment. Of necessity, it acqui...
