Nifedipine (NIF), a 1,4-dihydropyridine calcium channel antagonist, undergoes photo-degradation to dehydro-nifedipine (DNIF) upon exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light and to the nitroso analogue of dehydro-nifedipine (NDNIF) when exposed to sunlight or some kinds of artificial lights. NIF photo-degradation products do not contribute to clinical activity, thus prevention of photo-degradation of NI...

The photocatalytic process employing nanostructured semiconductor materials has attracted great attention in energy production, CO2 reduction, and water/air purification for decades. Recently, applying heterogeneous photocatalyst the synthesis of valuable chemicals is gradually emerging considered as a promising conversion cheap resources (i.e., biomass derivatives, polyols, aromatic hydrocarbo...

We propose a unified framework to study the walk problem in a polygonal area by two collaborative guards. A walk is conducted by the two mobile guards on the area’s boundary. They start at an initial boundary point, move along the boundary, and may possibly meet together again at an ending boundary point. It is required that the two guards maintain their mutual visibility at all times. Dependin...

A review of methods for volumetric scene reconstruction from multiple views is presented. Occupancy descriptions of the voxels in a scene volume are constructed using shape-from-silhouette techniques for binary images, and shapefrom-photo-consistency combined with visibility testing for color images.
