the aim of this investigation was to design and develop nanoemulsions (nes) as novel ophthalmic delivery systems for brinzolamide (bzd). phase behavior of quaternary systems composed of triacetin and capryoltm 90 (selected oils, screened through the solubility studies), various surfactants (namely, cremophor rh 40, brij 35, labrasol and tyloxapol), transcutol p (as co-surfactant) and water a...

Measurement losses adversely affect the performance of target tracking. The sensor network's life span depends on how efficiently the sensor nodes consume energy. In this paper, we focus on minimizing the total energy consumed by the sensor nodes whilst avoiding measurement losses. Since transmitting data over a long distance consumes a significant amount of energy, a mobile sink node collects ...

Recent advances and researches in field of WSN have enabled the development of low -cost, low-power, multifunctional sensor nodes having functionalities such as self-organizing, data processing & aggregation etc. As these sensors are batteryoperated, so it is very crucial to use this limited energy in an efficient way. Node mobility factor gave rise to sensor networks that have many potential a...

The thermodynamical property of a small cluster including M Hubbard dimers, each of which is described by the two-site Hubbard model, has been discussed within the nonex-tensive statistics (NES). The temperature dependence of the energy, entropy, specific heat and susceptibility has been calculated for M = 1, 2, 3 and ∞ (corresponding to q = 1) with the use of the relation between the entropic ...

A nanoemulsion (NE) is a surfactant-based, oil-in-water, nanoscale, high-energy emulsion with a mean droplet diameter of 400-600 nm. When mixed with antigen and applied nasally, a NE acts as a mucosal adjuvant and induces mucosal immune responses. One possible mechanism for the adjuvant effect of this material is that it augments antigen uptake and distribution to lymphoid tissues, where the im...

Use of mobile devices for data collection in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has recently drawn much attention. Controlled sink mobility has been shown to be beneficial in energy conservation and lifetime prolongation. In this paper, we propose a multi-hop uneven hierarchical routing protocol (MUHRP) using a controlled mobile sink. We first analyze the performance of MUHRP with a fixed sink nod...

Use of mobile devices for data collection in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has recently drawn much attention. Controlled sink mobility has been shown to be beneficial in energy conservation and lifetime prolongation. In this paper, we aim at studying the multi-hop uneven hierarchical routing protocol (MUHRP) using different mobile sink strategies. We first analyze the performance of multi-hop...

We propose a data forwarding scheme termed dynamic energy-based relaying (DER) for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In the DER scheme, all nodes try to forward their data packets toward the nodes that are optimal distance closer to the data sink. They also take the relaying node estimated lifetime into consideration in the selection process. When necessary, they will choose nodes that are close...
