NANO-CARRIERS: AN EMERGING TREND FOR BRAIN TUMOR TREATMENT. A FRONTIER LOOK

An overview of Emerging Trend

QCADesigner: A CAD Tool for an Emerging Nano-Technology

This paper describes research on a novel design and simulation tool for quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA), which we refer to as QCADesigner. A typical design window is shown in Figure 1. QCADesigner facilitates rapid design of QCA circuits by implementing different simulation engines and many standard CAD capabilities [1][2]. The results of a simulation are displayed in graphs such as the one...

O 25: Immunotherapy for Brain Tumor

In 1890, Coley observed that cancer patients who developed infections had smaller tumors. From this, he developed Coley’s toxin and treated tumors with injections of infectious materials. In 1960s,  Mahaley used monoclonal antibodies to treat central nervous system(CNS)  tumors, that research and clinical investigations in brain tumor immunotherapy became a serious undertaking. ...

A fresh look at an old nano-technology: catalysis.

The development of model catalyst systems for heterogeneous catalysis going beyond the metal single crystal approach, including phenomena involving the limited size of metal nanoparticles supported on oxide surfaces, as well as the electronic interaction through the oxide-metal interface, is exemplified on the basis of two case studies from the laboratory of the authors. In the first case study...

A case of episcleral tattooing – an emerging body modification trend

BACKGROUND In 2007 an article was published describing the first forays into the practice of episcleral tattooing. Currently only a handful of people worldwide have undergone this procedure, whereby a needle is used to inject dye under the bulbar conjunctiva. To date there have been no previous reports of the risks and complications of this emerging practice in the medical literature. We presen...
