Objective(S): In this work, paclitaxel (PX), a promising anticancer drug, was loaded in the basil seed mucilage (BSM) aerogels by implementation of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) technology. Then, the effects of operating conditions were studied on the PX mean particle size (MPS), particle size distribution (PSD) and drug loading efficiency (DLE). <stron...

Subtractive photonics is presented as a method for implementing photonic waveguides into any bulk CMOS or electronics process. Metal and glass are patterned in the backend layers by foundry to reveal suspended dielectric when metal etched away. This requires simple wet etch provides waveguiding of light up visible regime using broad transparency windows silicon oxides. Mechanical, chemical, con...

Improving Imbalanced Data Classification Accuracy by using Fuzzy Similarity Measure and Subtractive Clustering

Comparison of DNA from virulent strains of bacterial pathogens with DNA from less virulent or avirulent close relatives allows the identification of those genomic regions that are present only in virulent strains. Such regions are often associated with pathogenicity islands (PIs) and their characterisation can lead to a greater understanding of the pathogenesis of infectious diseases. There is ...

Here we describe a reliable method for isolating genes that are differentially expressed in two cell populations. The method is a combination of subtractive hybridization and PCR. Among many improvements to previously described methods is the incorporation of a new technology into the procedure which sterilizes(inactivates) PCR amplicons, and thereby overcomes the limitation of similar procedur...
