The deliberately prepared one ssDNA/one micelle complex has an unstable toroidal DNA-bound region and stable upper and lower hemispheres, and thus can self-assemble along the plane of the unstable toroidal region into free-suspending films.

Abstract We introduce a novel 3D microrheology system that combines for the first time Optical Tweezers with Integrated Multiplane Microscopy (OpTIMuM). The allows tracking of an optically trapped bead, ~ 20 nm accuracy along optical axis. This is achieved without need high precision z-stage, separate calibration sample, nor priori knowledge either bead size or properties suspending medium. Ins...

Focusing on obtaining in-memory evidence, current live acquisition efforts either fail to provide accurate native system physical memory acquisition at the given time point or require suspending the machine and altering the execution environment drastically. To address this issue, we propose Vis, a light-weight virtualization approach to provide accurate retrieving of physical memory content wh...

Suspension dosage forms require the use of suspending agents in order to deliver a uniform dose of the active ingredient. The purpose of this study is to investigate the properties of a new plant gum as a cheap and effective natural polymer in the formulation of pharmaceutical suspensions. The gum obtained from the incised trunk of Cedrela odorata (family Meliaceae) was compared with hydroxypro...

The action of Taiwan cobra (Naja naja atra) venom cardiotoxin on rabbit platelets at 37 degrees C was characterized by observing cytoskeletal alterations and cell lysis. At a concentration of 21.4 microM the toxin produced no cell lysis within 30 s, and less than 5% of the total lactate dehydrogenase activity of intact cells was detected in the suspending medium after the interaction had procee...

In this demonstration we show a prototype system that allows users to issue commands to simulated actors in real-time. The interactive, real-time control is a form of Adjustable Autonomy [1, 2]. The real time control prototype, nicknamed “The Boss” is a sub-system of a complete actor specification system called EASE (End-user Actor Specification Environment). The Boss allows tasks, at varying l...

Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) is widely prescribed to treat and prevent influenza virus A, influenza virus B, and H1N1 Flu. It is manufactured by Roche in 75-mg capsules. The need for other administration options for patients who cannot take capsules and cannot use suspending agents which contain alcohol, sorbitol, or preservatives has led to the compounding of oseltamivir into three suspending vehicle...

A bioequivalence study for the selection of the alternative and feasible mode of administration of esomeprazole pellets suspended in some common soft liquid foods has been done. 20 mg of four different brands esomeprazole pellets suspended in yogurt, orange juice, apple juice and milk were analyzed in the gastric environment using dissolution tester and high performance liquid chromatography. T...
