Biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) have been intensively studied as a possible way to enhance anti-tumor efficacy while reducing side effects. ICD-85, derived from the venom of two separate species of venomous animals, has been shown to exhibit anti-cancer activity. In this report polymer based sodium alginate nanoparticles of ICD-85 was used to enhance its therapeutic effects and redu...

Using the point-form approach to relativistic quantum mechanics, a covariant framework is presented for the calculation of proton and neutron electromagnetic form factors. Results for charge radii, magnetic moments, and electric as well as magnetic form factors are produced using the wave functions obtained in the socalled Goldstone-boson-exchange constituent quark model. All the predictions ar...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the distribution of functions and forms of hedging devices in the abstracts of master’s theses in two languages (English and Persian) written by Iranian students. To this end, 70 abstracts of M.A. theses were selected as the corpus. The total number of words in both English and Persian abstracts were 19,933 and 23,073, respectively. The categories of...
