چکیده

This paper describes a comparative investigation into the impact penetration characteristics of DNA-coated gold micro-particles into human and porcine skin. This work is aimed at establishing the link between the particle parameters required in delivering particles to the epidermis of pigs and humans. The particles are delivered to the skin using the PowderJect concept: a method that accelerates vaccines and drugs in microparticle form to velocities sufficient to penetrate the skin and achieve a therapeutic effect. Devices are configured to deliver particles to predetermined velocities to both the in-vivo inguinal region of the pig and the ex-vivo skin from the human back and arm. Location of the gold particles within the tissue sites was assayed in histological sections taken from the tissue sites. The penetration results in pig and human tissue are analyzed and compared with calculations performed with a semi-empirical unified penetration model. KeywordsBiolistics, Skin Penetration, Particles, Stratum Corneum, PowderJect, Powder Injection.

Abstract This paper presents a robust watermarking for still digital images based on schur factorization and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). In this paper, image is decomposed into 8 8  blocks and after applying schur factorization, the stable largest eigen values of the upper triangle is used as robust locations for embedding watermark. The matrix array formed by largest eigen values furt...

The assumption that cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) inflow and outflow is an essential element of an intracranial compartment (IC) model has been recently questioned [3]. The idea proposed in [3] that the free displacement of the CSF is one of the significant sources of the brain compliance is supported in this paper by computing an overall system compliance with a novel algorithm. The compliance obt...

Phase resetting of cells in response to a brief current pulse has been observed in a variety of nervous tissues including cardiac cells. External stimulation of the sinoatrial node is due to largely positive currents, depolarising the cells, except for some ACh interactions. Factors influencing this include the timing of the current injection, its polarity, magnitude and duration. Both prolonga...
