The present study assessed different methods of administering gold nanoparticles (GNPs) using different formulations to determine which of the methods achieved optimal radiosensitization. Cells from the B16F10 mouse melanoma cell line were implanted in the femoral area of mice, assigned to one of the eight following groups: i) Control; ii) intravenous (IV) injection of polyethylene glycol (PEG)...

Abstract. In this study, we focus on Genetic Network Programming (GNP) which is the graph-based evolutionary algorithm. Similar to Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Genetic Programming (GP), GNP applies genetic operators to an individual, which is represented by a directed graph, in order to solve a given problem. GNP is usually applied to automatic generation of programs which control a mobile robot....

Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes), one of most problematic food-borne bacteria, is mainly transmitted through the food chain and may cause listeriosis. Therefore, the development of rapid and sensitive L. monocytogenes detection technique has become an urgent task. In this study, we proposed a method using hyperbranching rolling circle amplification (HRCA) combined with gold nanoparticl...

A novel fiber-optic biosensor based on a localized surface plasmon coupled fluorescence (LSPCF) system is proposed and developed. This biosensor consists of a biomolecular complex in a sandwich format of . It is immobilized on the surface of an optical fiber where a complex forms the fluorescence probe and is produced by ...

We report herein the synthesis of gold nanoparticle (GNP) decorated-graphene sheets (GO-GNPs) using the template of graphene oxide (GO) by a one-pot solution-based method. A polypyrrole-GO decorated GNP nanocomposite (GO-GNP/PPY) has been electropolymerized using a potentiodynamic method on an indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass substrate. The as-synthesized nanocomposites are characterized by ...

The aim was to improve the processability and reduce melt viscosity of well?known nanocomposites based on polyamide 66 (PA66) carbon nanotubes (CNT), while keeping good electrical conductivity gained after addition CNT. Thus, a nanocomposite PA66 as thermoplastic matrix 3% CNT selected. At this composition, percolated network is created material electrically conductive. approach followed graphe...

In this work, we report a green method for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (GNP) using the aqueous extract of red tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum). We believe that citric acid and ascorbic acid present in tomato juice are responsible for the reduction of gold ions. This biosynthesized GNP in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate has been used as a colorimetric sensor to detect and estimate...

Coordinates-based mechanisms have proven to be useful in a peer-to-peer architecture to predict Internet network distance, even more so than the already existing IDMaps scheme. One such mechanism has been analyzed known as Global Network Positioning (GNP) to provide insight on a current state of the art technology in network distance prediction. GNP instantiates a virtual geometric space by app...

Localization microscopy has shown to be capable of systematic investigations on the arrangement and counting of cellular uptake of gold nanoparticles (GNP) with nanometer resolution. In this article, we show that the application of specially modified RNA targeting gold nanoparticles ("SmartFlares") can result in ring like shaped GNP arrangements around the cell nucleus. Transmission electron mi...

Thermal interfacematerials (TIMs) are crucial components of high density electronics and the high thermal conductivity of graphite makes this material an attractive candidate for such applications. We report an investigation of the in-plane and through-plane electrical and thermal conductivities of thin thermal interface layers of graphite nanoplatelet (GNP) based composites. The in-plane elect...
