Rapid separation of very low concentrations of bacteria from blood
(Elsevier, 2017)
A rapid and accurate diagnosis of the species and antibiotic resistance of bacteria in septic blood is vital to increase survival rates of patients with bloodstream infections, particularly those with carbapenem-resistant ...
Dynamics of a four-bar mechanism with clearance and springs - Modeling and experimental analysis
(Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers and Springer, 2017)
This paper presents a study of the dynamic behavior of a planar four-bar mechanism with clearance. A spring is added to improve the dynamic response of the mechanism with clearance. Simulations and experimental tests are ...
Analysis of 5-chloro-8-methoxy-2-(bromomethyl)quinoline by XPS
(American Vacuum Society, 2004)
Macrocyclic ethers are used extensively for their ability to form strong and selective interactions with charged species. It has been shown that the incorporation of heterocyclic groups into macrocylclic ethers increase ...
The use of ultrasound to release chemotherapeutic drugs from micelles and liposomes
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)
Several drug delivery systems have been investigated to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy by encapsulating the therapeutic agent in a nanosized carrier until it reaches the tumor site. Many of these particles are ...
Multilayer Transcoding with format portability for multicasting of single-layered video
(IEEE, 2005)
This paper proposes a novel multilayer video transcoding approach for multicasting pre-encoded video to heterogeneous end-systems via diverse grouping of networks. Multilayer transcoding is first addressed by means of ...
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 ...
Strengthening of thin reinforced concrete slabs with CFRP laminates
(International Conference on Advanced Composite Materials in Bridges and Structures, 2016)
Over the years, engineers and researchers have been working continuously to reduce the dead loads on buildings by reducing the sizes of structural elements. Slabs add significant dead load to buildings compared to other ...
Carbohydrate-Functionalized Liposomes In Cancer Therapy
(Bentham Science, 2020)
Existing cancer treatments are often accompanied by adverse side effects that can greatly reduce the quality of life of cancer patients; this sets the platform for the development and application of nanocarrier-based ...
Ultrasound-Mediated Drug Delivery in Cancer Therapy: A Review
(American Scientific Publishers, 2020)
The use of ultrasound as a medical diagnostic tool began in the 1940s. Ever since, the medical applications of ultrasound have included imaging, tumor ablation, and lithotripsy; however, an ever-increasing body of literature ...
