in a hydrothermal route devoted for synthesis of ca10(po4)6(oh)2 (ha) nanostructures, morphology can be controlled by experimental condition to form magical ha or nanostructured nanoparticles. in an intermediate condition, a novel nanostructure namely rose-like bundle of ha rod-likes was found, which is different from known ha nanostructures. the chemical synthesis of nanopowders under hydrothe...

background: chitosan nanoparticles have become of great interest for nanomedicine, biomedical engineering and development of new therapeutic drug release systems with improved bioavailability, increased specificity and sensitivity, and reduced pharmacological toxicity. the aim of the present study is to synthesis and optimization of chitosan nanoparticles for industrial and biomedical applicati...

Since the late 1970s, many European countries have established health technology assessment (HTA) systems to inform coverage and pricing decisions. These countries use HTA to systematically determine the relative ‘value for money’ provided by new technologies and to give providers and patients information to make treatment choices. This, in turn, serves to encourage the efficient and effective ...

Objectives Past research has indicated that Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) could be used as an alternative methodology for assessing the value of new medical technologies in the context of Health Technology Assessment (HTA). The objective of this study is to apply in practice an MCDA framework for the value assessment of a set of therapeutic options in metastatic colorectal cancer t...

This paper proposes the design of micro power Sigma-delta modulator with using verilog HDL based on been mapped on small commercially available FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays). This Sigma-delta modulator design is paid special attention to its low power application of portable electronic system in digitizing biomedical signals such asElectrocardiogram(ECG),Electroencephalogram(EEG) etc. ...

Semantic Text Mining and its Application in Biomedical Domain Illhoi Yoo Xiaohua Hu, Ph.D A huge amount of biomedical knowledge and novel discoveries have been produced and collected in text databases or digital libraries, such as MEDLINE, because the most natural form to store information is text. In order to cope with this pressing text information overload, text mining is employed. However, ...

A coarse outer hull of a mesh is a good tool used in computer graphics to reduce algorithm complexity, especially, in applications such as collision detection or ray-tracing. It is often required that the hull has some very specific parameters concerning its shape and quality since these influence general flexibility and numerical stability of the algorithms. This paper overviews existing probl...

The fabrication technique of ultrathin film (commonly known as nanosheets) has been significantly developed over the years. Due to the mechanical properties of nanosheets, such as high levels of adhesion and flexibility, this made nanosheets the ideal candidate in biomedical applications. In this review, innovative biomedical applications of nanosheets are discussed, which include, drug deliver...

Blind Source Separation (BSS) is a prominent problem in signal processing. In the past few decades, it was applied to many fields, in which separation of compound signals, simultaneously observed by different sensors, is of interest. The problem can be considered as built-up of three physical elements: sources (also called transmitters), sensors (also called receivers) and communication channel...
