the application of chemotherapy in cancer treatment has been limited due to cause side effects such as toxicity against normal cells and drug resistance. in recent years, numerous studies have been focused on using natural products with chemotherapeutic drugs to enhance therapeutic efficiency and reduce cytotoxicity. on the other hand, encapsulation of drugs into nanoparticles (nps) can improve...

The residence time of the bound water molecules in the antisense oligodeoxyribonucleotides containing 7'-alpha-methyl (TMe) carbocyclic thymidines in duplex (I), d5'(1C2G3C4G5A6A7TMc8TMe9C10G11C12G)23', and 6'-alpha-hydroxy (TOH) carbocyclic thymidines in duplex (II), d5'(1C2G3C4G5AOH6AOH7TOH8 TOH9C10G11C12G)2(3), have been investigated using a combination of NOESY and ROESY experiments. Becaus...

spatial measurements of conductivity, temperature and depth were used to study salinity variations along the principal channels of the tidal hypersaline creek network in the vicinity of bushehr port, persian gulf during three 25- tidal cycles in both warm and cold months. salinity variations and tidal fluctuations were out of phase throughout the short inverse estuary. the salinity values insid...

1n this program,aresearchgasturbinecombustor is used to study the influence of individual variables (in particular, fuel spray characteristics) on primary zone emissions. The unique combustor is operated under realistic conditions and allows for independent control of drop size, fuel-air ratio, air inlet temperature, pressure, reference velocity, and residence time. Also, it lends itself to the...

Kin-recognition systems have been hypothesized to exist in humans, and adaptively to regulate altruism and incest avoidance among close genetic kin. This latter function allows the architecture of the kin recognition system to be mapped by quantitatively matching individual variation in opposition to incest to individual variation in developmental parameters, such as family structure and co-res...

Nanopore sensing is a label-free method for characterizing water-soluble molecules. The ability to accurately identify and characterize an analyte depends on the residence time of the molecule within the pore. It is shown here that when a Au25(SG)18 metallic cluster is bound to an α-hemolysin (αHL) nanopore, the mean residence time of polyethylene glycol (PEG) within the pore is increased by ov...

The problems of the first-passage time (FPT) [1, 2] and the residence time (RT) [3] are very important issues in random walk theory. Moreover, several properties of diffusion and transport in disordered systems are based in this concepts. Here, we do not want to present a survey of the enormous literature in the field of mean firstpassage time (MFPT) and mean residence time (MRT) of random walk...

As the most basic cloud service model, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) has been widely used for serving the evergrowing computing demand due to the prevalence of the cloud. Using pools of hypervisors within the cloud, IaaS can support a large number of Virtual Machines (VMs) and scale services in a highly dynamic manner. However, it is well-known that the VMs in IaaS are vulnerable to co-res...
