Monomethoxypoly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(DL-lactide) copolymer (PELA) microparticles loading lysozyme were prepared through a modified W/O/W double emulsion-solvent diffusion method using ethyl acetate (EA) as organic solvent. The modified process was divided into five steps: (1) primary emulsification (W1/O), (2) re-emulsification (W1/O/W2), (3) pre-solidification, (4) solidification and (5) pu...

This paper elaborates the approach of using ontologies as a conceptual base for enterprise architecture (EA) descriptions. The method focuses on recognising and modelling business critical information concepts, their content, and semantics used to operate the business. Communication genres and open and semi-structured information need interviews are used as a domain analysis method. Ontologies ...

photodiode array detection is used for the simultaneous determination of caffeine and nine alkaloids from Citrus aurantium (CA) and ephedra (EA) contained in dietary weight loss products. Since the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ban of EA, manufacturers have substituted CA in their weight loss formulations, usually combined with high levels of caffeine. The alkaloids contained in CA have so...

Objectives. To explore electroacupuncture's (EA's) effects on fasting blood glucose (FBG) and insulin resistance of type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) model rats and give a possible explanation for the effects. Method. It takes high fat diet and intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ, 30 mg/kg) for model preparation. Model rats were randomly divided into T2DM Model group, EA weiwanxiashu...

Neuroinflammation has been suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). Electroacupuncture (EA) is an irreplaceable method in traditional Chinese medicine that is used for treating neurodegenerative diseases in clinical and experimental studies. The aim of this study was to examine whether EA improves cognitive dysfunction caused by surgery and to ...

Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is a popular class of methods used to build empirical models through statistical means. Rarely in the literature is the RSM applied to model characteristics of Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) based techniques used to solve dynamic optimization problems. This paper presents RSM as a modelling tool of some characteristics of a memory and EA-based approach referred t...

The paper introduces the EA (electric acupuncture) treatment system based on expert database diagnosis technique. The system is a expert database of automatic reasoning diagnosis by the combining the maximum likelihood method and relation database. It integrates symbolic measurement theory, computer technology and electronic technology, which develops EA needling method by imitating classical a...

Practical applications of Evolutionary Algorithms (EA) frequently use some sort of hybridization by incorporating domain-specific knowledge, which turns the generally applicable EA into a problem-specific tool. To overcome this limitation, the new method of HyGLEAM was developed and tested extensively using eight test functions and three real-world applications. One basic kind of hybridization ...
