THE REALM OF SPACE EXPLOration, the biggest obstacle to widespread application of autonomy in flight software is not technical feasibility; it is doubt about its trustworthiness as a replacement for humanin-the-loop decision-making. Autonomous control systems raise difficult verification and validation issues. V&V techniques are needed that significantly increase confidence in these decision-ma...

the purpose of this study was to optimize a method for the encapsulation of p5 peptide, a new designed peptide containing mhc class i epitopes from rat her2/neu protein, into liposomes as an approach for breast cancer vaccine formulation. the efficiency of liposomal encapsulation of peptides is generally low and development of an optimized method to increase encapsulation efficiency is a big ch...

Objective(s): Somatostatin receptor-positive neuroendocrine tumors have been targeted using various peptide analogs radiolabeled with therapeutic radionuclides for years. The better biomedical properties of radioantagonists as higher tumor uptake make these radioligands more attractive than agonists for somatostatin receptor-targeted radionuclide therapy. In this study...
