in this work, we report synthesis and characterization of copper nanoparticles in polymer matrix by wet-chemical reduction method using ascorbic acid as reducing agent, copper (ii) sulfate as metal precursor and polyvinylpyrrolidone k-30 (pvp k-30) as surfactant agent. the reaction was carried out in a high-speed stirring mixture at room temperature under nitrogen atmosphere. characterization o...

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...

In this paper, we introduce an agent planner architecture that can reduce the basic artifacts of agent planning paradigms, semantic services and business process languages into a common workflow model. These artifacts are then executed by means of a workflow component that the architecture includes. By having a workflow component in an agent infrastructure, various agent programming paradigms i...
