platinum is a metallic element, which may react with our cellular component through its involvement in cancer chemotherapy medications. cisplatin is one of the most useful antineoplastic drugs against human ovarian carcinoma, which has the central element of platinum in its structure. the nature of chemical interaction between platinum and cellular macromolecules is yet to be understood. we exa...

Our modern society is filled with stressful stimuli that impact our daily lives, and lead to problems that eventually threaten our mental and psychological wellbeing. Expanding urban life and urbanizing people's interactions have drastically increased and resulted in more stressful circumstances. Unfortunately, the role of nature and nature-based design in our urban societies as an alternative ...

In 1992 neurophysiologists [20] found a new type of cells in areas V1 and V2 of the monkey primary visual cortex, which they called grating cells. These cells respond vigorously to a grating pattern of appropriate orientation and periodicity. Three years later a computational model inspired by these findings was published [9]. The study of this paper is to create a grating cell operator that ha...

In nature, bacterial colonies must often cope with hostile environmental conditions. To do so they have developed sophisticated cooperative behaviour and intricate communication capabilities, such as direct cell ± cell physical interactions via extra-membrane polymers, collective production of extracellular `wetting’ fluid for movement on hard surfaces, longrange chemical signalling such as quo...
