objectives: ctxb (cholera toxin b subunit) contributes to a vaccine's efficacy by stimulating production of the anti-ctxb antibody. various attempts have been made to increase production of this antibody. chitosan is a mucoadhesive polysaccharide that has tremendous potential for oral vaccine delivery in terms of its exclusive features that include biocompatibility, biodegradability, high charg...

BACKGROUND The combination of biliary stent with photodynamic and chemotherapy seemed to be a beneficial palliative treatment of unresectable cholangiocarcinoma. However, by intravenous delivery to the target tumor the distribution of the drug had its limitations and caused serious side effect on non-target organs. Therefore, in this study, we are going to develop a localized eluting stent, nam...

Abstract The Covid-19 pandemic is a powerful reminder that there only one humanity and all individuals are subject to infections illness. However, news media the internet overflowing with data reminds us of fact we living in an unequal world which even neighbors close their borders observe how other countries faring battle against virus. Literature no stranger these opposing orientations, betwe...

recently, the demands for the production of many different types of plastic wastes are greatly growing that subsequently, lead to the serious challenges in environmental considerations. since, these materials are rarely resolved by microorganisms, hence, their recycling to the useful materials is crucial. in the present study, we used a solution electrospinning technique to synthesize nano/micr...

in this work, cofe2o4 nanoparticles have been prepared by co-precipitation technique. the synthesized cofe2o4 nanoparticles were applied in the preparation of cofe2o4/polyacrylonitrile fiber nanocomposites by the electrospinning process. the prepared nanoparticles and nanofibers were characterized using the scanning electron microscopy (sem) and x-ray diffraction methods. the results manifested...

nanofber  mats  of  poly(ε-caprolactone)/nanoclay  nanocomposites  were fabricated by electrospinning. the effects of the solution concentration and  the  nanoclay  content  of  nanocomposite  materials  on  the  fnal nanofber  structure were  investigated. morphology  and  diameter  of  the  nanofbers were studied using optical and scanning electron microscope. it was observed that the  poly(ε...

When a particle decays into two fragments, the wavefunctions of the latter are spherical shells with expanding radii. In spite of this spherical symmetry, the two particles can be detected only in opposite directions. When particles at rest decay into two fragments, the latter have opposite momenta, p1 + p2 = 0. (1) Yet, the statistical distribution of each fragment is isotropic. The same holds...

Abstract. Agglomeration of charged ice and dust particles in the mesosphere lower thermosphere is studied using a classical electrostatic approach, which extended to capture induced polarisation surface charge. Collision outcomes are predicted whilst varying particle size, charge, dielectric constant, relative kinetic energy, collision geometry coefficient restitution. In addition Coulomb force...

aligned and random nanocomposite nanofibrous scaffolds were electrospun from polycaprolactone (pcl), poly (vinyl alcohol) (pva) and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nha). the morphology and mechanical characteristics of the nanofibers were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy and tensile testing, respectively. scanning electron microscopy revealed fibers with an average diameter of 123 ± 3...

We construct continuum models of 3D and 4D topological insulators by coupling spin-1/2 fermions to an SU(2) background gauge field, which is equivalent to a spatially dependent spin-orbit coupling. Higher dimensional generalizations of flat Landau levels are obtained in the Landau-like gauge. The 2D helical Dirac modes with opposite helicities and 3D Weyl modes with opposite chiralities are spa...
