Becomings in J. M. Coetzee's Waiting for the Barbarians and José Saramago's Blindness
(The Pennsylvania State University, 2010)
Optimum ethane recovery in conventional turboexpander process
(Elsevier, 2010)
Ethane recovery in a conventional turboexpander process is optimized considering different demethanizer pressures and different feeds: a lean gas and a rich one. The design variables are varied, while meeting process ...
Distribution of Doxorubicin in Rats Undergoing Ultrasonic Drug Delivery
(Elsevier, 2010)
Ultrasound (US) increases efficacy of drugs delivered from micelles, but the pharmacokinetics have not been studied previously. In this study, US was used to deliver doxorubicin (Dox) sequestered in micelles in an in vivo ...
Growth of 2,2-Biimidazole-Based Nanorods on Mica Substrate
(Hindawi, 2010)
The synthesis of a one-dimensional single-stranded helix using the crystallization of silver (I) nitrate and 2,2-biimidazole has promising potential for use in the area of nanotechnology mainly because of its unique ...
Feature modeling using polynomial classifiers and stepwise regression
(Elsevier, 2010)
In polynomial networks, feature vectors are mapped to a higher dimensional space through a polynomial function. The expanded vectors are then passed to a single layer network to compute the model parameters. However, as ...
The Discrete Beverton-Holt Model with Periodic Harvesting in a Periodically Fluctuating Environment
(Springer, 2010)
We investigate the effect of constant and periodic harvesting on the Beverton-Holt model in a periodically fluctuating environment. We show that in a periodically fluctuating environment, periodic harvesting gives a better ...
Preliminary Modeling of Transfer RNA Kinetics in the Cytoplasm of Escherichia coli Bacteria
(American Scientific Publishers, 2010)
Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) can recognize a specific amino acid from a possible pool of 20. Theyare able to transport these protein building-blocks to the ribosome, the site where amino acids assemble into protein chains. Accurate ...
Possible Physical Mechanisms of tRNA Pre-Selection in the Cytoplasm of Escherichia coli Bacteria
(American Scientific Publishers, 2010)
In a previous publication, we used kinetic models to simulate the physical movement ofthe transfer RNA (tRNA) in the cytoplasm of Escherichia coli and concluded that tRNA molecules are not able to approach the ribosome by ...
Architectural Design Standards for Muslims Prayer Facilities in Airports
(WIT Press, 2010)
Increasingly, airports around the world are becoming hubs for the coexistence of different cultures. Therefore, they need to include facilities that can accommodate, as far as possible, the needs of passengers from various ...
Regulation of I𝜅B𝛼 Function and NF-𝜅B Signaling: AEBP1 Is a Novel Proinflammatory Mediator in Macrophages
(Hindawi, 2010)
NF-𝜅B comprises a family of transcription factors that are critically involved in various inflammatory processes. In this paper, the role of NF-𝜅B in inflammation and atherosclerosis and the regulation of the NF-𝜅B ...
