Cancer has emerged as a leading cause of death worldwide. However, the pursuit precise cancer therapy and high-efficiency delivery antitumor drugs remains an enormous obstacle. The major challenge is lack smart drug system with advantages biodegradability, biocompatibility, stability, targeting response release. Zein, plant-based protein, possesses unique self-assembly ability to encapsulate an...

This study aimed to examine the chemical composition of wheat germ oil extracted by three different methods, and evaluate its inhibitory effect on cyclooxygenase proteinase activities. The results showed that contents policosanols, tocopherols phytosterols were affected extraction procedure. However, fatty acid extracts was nearly same. Among tested oils samples, cold pressed exhibited stronges...

The growth of the Internet Things (IoT) continues to be rapid, making it an essential part information technology. As a result, IoT devices must able handle data collection, machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, and preprocessing data, while also considering cost, processing power, energy consumption. This paper introduces system for device indoor localization that uses variations in strength...

0 Abstract Just over a century since the foundational studies of Wilhelm Schmidt, and the extraordinary effervescence that the field enjoyed in the 1960s and 1970s, we have again reached an important watershed in the history of Mon-Khmer (MK) comparative-historical studies. 2006 saw the publication of Shorto's A Mon-Khmer Comparative Dictionary (MKCD), a wealth of extensive descriptive and lexi...

AIMS Despite the existence of effective cessation methods, the vast majority of smokers attempt to quit on their own. To date, there is little evidence to explain the low adoption rates for effective forms of cessation assistance, including pharmaceutical aids. This study sought to assess smokers' awareness and perceived effectiveness of cessation methods and to examine the relationship of this...

In this paper the authors propose and describe a Resource Description Framework (RDF)-based mediator designed to solve the health data interoperability problem that exists among heterogeneous health information systems (e.g., Electronic Health Records). The RDF-based mediator framework has three main components: (1) the Synonym Dictionary (SD) that can be used to map metadata semantics, (2) the...

Polyglycerol esters of fatty acids (PGEs), a very complex mixture various isomers, are widely used as green surfactants in different industrial fields such cosmetic, pharmaceutic and food industries. However, no study related to the purification absolute quantification these compounds has been described yet. In this study, we developed rapid efficient method for characterization PGEs using Supe...

Singapore’s limited resources have caused severe labor shortage and brought adverse impact on the construction industry. Prefabrication, the crucial part of the integrated construction automation processes, has appeared to be the ideal and most practical way to sustain the long-standing strategy of reducing the reliance on labor resource. In this paper, the potential of prefabrication in resolv...

In this paper, we discuss co-operative product development across firm boundaries. Firstly, we discuss reasons why innovation may beneficially be co-ordinated among firms, and we provide some empirical evidence for the existence and significance of the phenomenon. Secondly, we discuss the relevance of co-operative innovation for the construction industry which, at present, is characterised by l...

Visit analog.com/iot At present, a paradigm shift, referred to frequently as Industry 4.0—or Industrie 4.0 in Germany—is taking place. In international usage, terms like the (Industrial) Internet of Things, smart factory, or cyber physical (production) systems are often used interchangeably to refer to the same thing. Industry 4.0 refers to the global trend toward the digitization and networkin...
