The comfort factors in using nanoscale metal particles are attained from their capability to increase the aqueous solubility of hydrophobic drugs compound, enhanced the circulation time of drugs in the blood, and repress or eliminate fast renal drugs excretion. Nevertheless, the clinical success of these agents is crucially re...

The dramatic brightenings of classical novae have yielded rich data sets of detailed light curves. Modelling these light curves is a challenge for any theory of classical novae. We have used our extended grid of nova outburst calculations to predict the luminosities of erupting novae expected in three electromagnetic bands – the visual, the near UV and the X-ray. Our models predict and explain ...

A continuous water injection test was conducted to halt the reduction in steam production in the Okuaizu Geothermal Field, Japan. Understanding the factors triggering microseismicity associated with water injection is essential to ensuring effective steam production. We identified possible triggering processes by applying methods based on microseismic monitoring, including a new method to deter...

While recent scientific efforts have resulted in a series of discoveries and advances in understanding and controlling the virus that causes AIDS, this progress has had limited impact on the majority of HIV infected people and populations living in developing countries. The social and economic conditions that nurture the spread of the virus have to be confronted as essential elements in local a...

For several years prior to 2010, countries in the euro area periphery engaged in heavy borrowing from foreign private investors, allowing domestic spending to outpace incomes. Now these countries face debt crises refl ecting a loss of investor confi dence in the sustainability of their fi nances. The result has been an abrupt halt in private foreign lending to these economies. This study explai...

Hydraulic excavators are large, powerful machines which are often operated in high-production settings. Successful automation of excavators for mass excavation tasks require safeguarding algorithms which do not negatively impact productivity. We present a two-level sensor-based safeguarding approach which utilizes obstacle detection to prevent collisions and motion detection to halt operation w...

INTRODUCTION: Previous testing of various collagen cross-linking agents showed potential to increase stiffness and failure behavior as well as reduce hysteresis and creep behavior in rat tail tendon fascicles [1]. Based on these results, we hypothesized that exogenous collagen cross-linking might be a candidate for reinforcing injured or healing tendons or to halt progression of tendon tears. T...

Within a 14-year period, Liberia endured two consecutive civil wars in what one scholar has called a ‘descent into anarchy’ (Ellis, 1999). The first war—led by US–Liberian Charles Taylor—started in 1989 and ended with a peace agreement in 1996, only to be followed by the election of Taylor as president one year later.1 The second war began in April 1999, when a group of insurgents of the Liberi...

The study was conducted to explore range management practices, and pastoralists’ views on degradation and its impact on local livelihood in south Ethiopia. The data was gathered from three pastoral and agro-pastoral districts of the Guji zone using structure questionnaires, key respondents and direct observation. The study shows the use of enclosure and herd mobility in basic traditional practi...
