In this article, we describe a photosensitizer (PS) whose ability to generate singlet oxygen (1O2) and fluorescence emission has been designed as tumor responsive. More specifically, the PS consists of a silicon phthalocyanine (SiPc) core, axially substituted with two subphthalocyanine (SubPc) units, covalently linked by a disulfide linker, which is cleavable in the presence of a strong reducin...

Coordinative chain transfer polymerization (CCTP) has opened a new path for the development of novel products like olefin block copolymers and chain-end functional polyolefins. However, conflicting results are frequently reported on the catalyst performance including activity and comonomer selectivity under CCTP conditions. Here we have selected two catalysts including rac-ethylenebis(1-η5-inde...

The objective of this work was to investigate the behaviour of some model surfactants used in the deinking process, namely, sodium oleate and two ethoxylated nonionic surfactants (C12E6 and C14E6) as well as to investigate the suitability of various model substrates for mimicking interactions in technical systems. The influence of the adsorption to the air – water interface has been measured by...

This study entitled Grammatical Relations and Semantic Roles of Arguments in English Verbs Transfer “Convey”. It focused on grammatical relations semantic role argument within a certain structure. The particular only data source this is Corpus Contemporary American English. used accidental sampling method. Therefore, every found are constructed with transfer verb “convey” proposed by Levin. Bas...

Recently, a model multi-agent e-commerce system based on mobile buyer agents and transfer of strategy modules was proposed. In this paper a different approach to code mobility is introduced, where agent mobility is replaced by local agent creation supplemented by similar code mobility as in the original proposal. UML diagrams of agents involved in the new approach to mobility and the augmented ...

In recent years there has seen an increased interest in software development outsourcing 1 (SDoutsourcing) in both academia and practice (Krishna et al. 2004; Rustagi et al. 2008; Wanjin et al. 2007). Countries like India, Sri Lanka and Philippines have gained a reputation of receiving software development outsourcing projects, mostly from western nations (Heeks 1999; Ramingwong and Sanjeev 200...

In a reinforcement learning setting, the goal of transfer learning is to improve performance on a target task by re-using knowledge from one or more source tasks. A key problem in transfer learning is how to choose appropriate source tasks for a given target task. Current approaches typically require that the agent has some experience in the target domain, or that the target task is specified b...
