Exercisability Randomization of the American Option
(Taylor & Frances Online, 2008)
The valuation of American options is an optimal stopping time problem which typically leads to a free boundary problem. We introduce here the randomization of the exercisability of the option. This method considerably ...
DNA Base-Calling Techniques
(2008-12)
The availability of substantial amounts of DNA sequence information has begun to revolutionize the practice of biology. So it is obvious that manual sequencing output is not adequate to keep pace with the growing demand ...
Emerging Pedagogies in the Middle East: Enhancing Student Autonomy Using Weblogs (Blogs)
(The University of Buckingham Press, 2008)
Students in the Middle East have typically been taught English following traditional, rote learning methods. There has been little time, or little room, within the set curriculum for teachers to enrich their students’ ...
Autonomous Mobile Robots in Nature: Transfer RNAs in Escherichia coli Bacteria
(2008-05)
Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are the smallest autonomous robots on earth. They can recognize a specific amino acid from the possible pool of 20 different amino acids. They are able to transport these protein building blocks to ...
Micelles and nanoparticles for ultrasonic drug and gene delivery
(Elsevier, 2008)
Drug delivery research employing micelles and nanoparticles has expanded in recent years. Of particular interest is the use of these nanovehicles that deliver high concentrations of cytotoxic drugs to diseased tissues ...
Over-Pressure Suppresses Ultrasonic-Induced Drug Uptake
(Elseviser, 2008)
Ultrasound (US) is used to enhance and target delivery of drugs and genes to cancer tissues. The present study further examines the role of acoustic cavitation in US-induced permeabilization of cell membranes and subsequent ...
Ultrasonic-Activated Micellar Drug Delivery for Cancer Treatment
(Wiley InterSciences, 2008)
The use of nanoparticles and ultrasound in medicine continues to evolve. Great strides have been made in the areas of producing micelles, nanoemulsions, and solid nanoparticles that can be used in drug delivery. An effective ...
Ultrasound in drug and gene delivery
(Elsevier, 2008)
In this issue, we present the current applications and future prospects of ultrasound in various aspects of drug and gene delivery. There are many advantages to ultrasound that make it ideal for the delivery of therapeutics ...
