In recent years, Cellular Automata (CA) have been found as an attractive modeling tool for various applications, such as, pattern recognition, image processing, data compression, encryption and specially V LSI design & test. However, for all such applications, a special class of CA, called as linear/additive CA, has been utilized. Since linear CA limit the search space, we may not reach to the ...

DNA-encoded libraries (DELs) are an increasingly popular approach to finding small molecule ligands for proteins. Many DEL synthesis protocols hinge on sequential additions of monomers using split-pool combinatorial methods. Therefore, compatible protecting group strategies that allow the unmasking reactive functionality (e. g. amines and alcohols) prior monomer coupling, or removal less desira...

Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) is a biocompatible member of the aliphatic polyester family of biodegradable polymers. PLGA has long been a popular choice for drug delivery applications, particularly since it is already FDA-approved for use in humans in the form of resorbable sutures. Hydrophobic and hydrophilic drugs are encapsulated in PLGA particles via single- or double-emulsion. Brief...
