A new microsphere consisting of inorganic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) and organic alginate (denoted as MSN@Alg) was successfully synthesized by air-dynamic atomization and applied to the intracellular drug delivery systems (DDS) of liver cancer cells with sustained release and specific targeting properties. MSN@Alg microspheres have the advantages of MSN and alginate, where MSN provi...

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) have potential as drug delivery and controlled release devices due to their high surface area and absorption capabilities. The effect of surface charge and pH on the release of the fluorescent dye, rhodamine 6G, from MSN has been studied. Release profiles of rhodamine 6G from bare and amine-coated MSN at pH 5.0 and 7.4 are very different and demonstrate tha...

This paper presents a simple and effective method for extraction of translation equivalents from parallel corpora. Experiments were conducted on Orwell's "1984" parallel corpus with translations available in six CEE languages, all of them being aligned to the English original. There were extracted six bilingual lexicons X-English (En), where X stands for one of Czech (Cz), Bulgarian (Bg), Eston...

Our recent study in this journal highlighted misassignments of surface intermediates diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) measurements published Cu/ZnO (CZ) catalyst systems for methanol synthesis. Here we investigate a and very active CZ system, part promoted by oxidative fluorination (i. e., Cu/ZnO1–x/ZnF2 system), with realistic operando-DRIFTS 3H2/CO2 gas fee...

The amino acid sequence of Paracoccus (formerly Micrococcus) denitrificans cytochrome chbO has been established by a combination of standard chemical techniques and interpretation of a 2.5 8, resolution x-ray electron density map. Peptides derived from a trypsin digest were chemically sequenced, and then ordered by fitting them to the density map. The amino acid compositions of chymotryptic pep...

A medical special needs (MSN) assessment was conducted among 3088 respondents in a hurricane prone area. The sample was female (51.7%), Hispanic (92.9%), aged >45 years (51%), not insured for health (59.2%), and with an MSN (33.2%). Barriers to preparedness were characterized for all households, including those with inhabitants reporting MSN ranging from level 0 (mild) to level 4 (most severe)....

Let f(z) = z +az + bz + cz+ d ∈ Z[z] and let us consider a del Pezzo surface of degree one given by the equation Ef : x 2 − y − f(z) = 0. In this note we prove that if the set of rational points on the curve Ea, b : Y 2 = X + 135(2a − 15)X − 1350(5a + 2b − 26) is infinite, then the set of rational points on the surface Ef is dense in the Zariski topology.
