Sets play a key role in foundations of mathematics. Why? To what extent is it an accident of history? Imagine that you have a chance to talk to mathematicians from a far away planet. Would their mathematics be setbased? What are the alternatives to the set-theoretic foundation of mathematics? Besides, set theory seems to play a significant role in computer science, in particular in database the...

The design of efficient algorithms for planar graphs, as a field of research, is over forty year old and continues to be an exciting area. There are several new efficient algorithms for a variety of graph optimization problems that exploit planarity and, in general, the structure of low genus graphs and graphs with excluded minors. Efficient space-bounded computations, on the other hand, involv...

Hypnosis in contemporary medicine.

Hypnosis became popular as a treatment for medical conditions in the late 1700s when effective pharmaceutical and surgical treatment options were limited. To determine whether hypnosis has a role in contemporary medicine, relevant trials and a few case reports are reviewed. Despite substantial variation in techniques among the numerous reports, patients treated with hypnosis experienced substan...

Preparation and Evaluation of Poly (s-caprolactone) Nanoparticles-in- Microparticles by W/O/W Emulsion Method

Objective(s) Theophylline, a xanthenes derivative, is still widely used as an effective bronchodilator in the management of asthmatic patients. It is used both as a prophylactic drug and to prevent acute exacerbations of asthma. The aim of study was to formulate and evaluate effect of the microencapsulation of theophylline loaded nanoparticles on the reduction of burst release. Materials and Me...
