Abstract Background In the present study, medicinal plants were exclusively selected based on their significant anti-HIV and anticancer activities. The green synthesis of gold nanoparticles was carried out using 15 plant extracts reduction with chloroauric acid. study also focused a novel pharmacognostic approach over usage source. nanoparticle synthesized through possessed potential therapeuti...

Short-term psychodynamic psychotherapy (STPP) complemented with bodywork improved 31 of 54 patients (57.4%, 95% CI: 43.21-70.77%) who rated themselves mentally ill before treatment. Calculated from this we find 1.41 < NNT < 2.31; we estimate NNH > 500. Of the 54 patients, 40% had already had traditional treatment that did not help them. Bodywork helped the patients to confront repressed painful...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with unmet medical need, and the leading cause of age-related dementia affecting millions people worldwide. This work aims at developing small, high-drug loading capacity (DL) -entrapment efficiency (EE) memantine hydrochloride (MEM)/chitosan nanocrystals (CS-NCs) to treat moderate severe associated AD. MEM-loaded chitosan (ME...

The objective of this study was to test the Betty Dodson method of breaking the female orgasm barrier in chronic anorgasmic women. The aim was sexual and existential healing (salutogenesis) through direct confrontation and integration of both the repressed shame, guilt, and other negative feelings associated with body, genitals, and sexuality, and the repressed sexual pleasure and desire. We co...

One of the advantages of solar thermal power plants (STPPs) with molten salt as heat transfer fluid is the direct storage system. This means that the thermal energy collected by the solar field and the electric power generation can be fully decoupled. The plant operator must therefore make the daily decision when to start-up or to shut-down the power block (PB). Normally, the solar field of the...

Direct water immersion chilling is used widely in the poultry plants because of higher heat transfer rate. However, post-mortem state of poultry muscle, extent of water uptake by carcasses prior to deboning, and marination has been one of the largest sources of inconsistency in marinated product quality and has become a problem for producers of marinated broiler meat. The effect of Ultra-rapid ...

In this thesis we consider reasoning with preferences in a number of different AI problems. We start with a specific area as, temporal reasoning, for which there is specialized reasoning machinery. In particular, we consider quantitative temporal constraints and we add preferences in such a context. We discuss the complexity for solving temporal constraint satisfaction problems with preferences...

Simple Temporal Problems (STPs) are a restriction of the framework of Temporal Constraint Satisfaction Problems, tractable in polynomial time. Their expressiveness has been extended independently in two ways. First, to account for uncontrollable events, to Simple Temporal Problems with Uncertainty (STPUs). Second, more recently, to account for soft temporal preferences, to Simple Temporal Probl...
