The alginate-based hydrogel was prepared as a pH-sensitive drug delivery system. To enhance the drug loading capacity, activated carbon was introduced as a drug absorbent. The iron oxide was incorporated into the alginate matrix for the magnetic transferring to the target organ. The activated carbon and iron-oxide were dispersed uniformly in the alginate hydrogel. The drug release from the algi...

Ordinal conditional functions (OCFs) provide a semantic domain for qualitative conditionals of the form “if A, then (normally) B” by ordering worlds according to their degree of surprise. Transferring the idea of maximum entropy to a more qualitative domain, c-representations of a knowledge base R consisting of a set of conditionals have been defined as OCFs satisfying in particular the propert...

Mobile agent is a type of software agent, a composition of computer software and data. It is able to migrate from one computer to another autonomously and continue its execution on the destination computer. When very large volumes of data are stored at remote hosts, these data can be processed in the locality of the data rather than transferring over the network. The main concern is, move the c...
