The presented method aims to improve the current practice of using design procedures based on simplified steady-state assumptions for design of WWTP, by promotion of additionally use of dynamic simulation for the design refinement. This paper describes a consistent way to parameterise a dynamic simulation model in compliance with German design guidelines assuming a typical planning situation wi...

JXTA is a set of platform-independent, open source peer-to-peer protocols that has become popular for building services and applications based on peer-to-peer overlays. Existing work towards evaluating one of JXTA‘s core protocols,the JXTA search algorithm, has mainly focused on testbed-based experiments. Although such evaluation configurations offer accurate results based on real deployments, ...

recently, with increasing public awareness of food safety, developments of some valid and rapidly analytical methods are required for the determination of residual pesticides in crops.this study was conducted on validation of a reliable, accurate and precise method for multi analysis of pesticides residue in melon as a main fruit in iranian food basket. a reliable, and valid method based on spi...

DAXX is a scaffold protein with diverse roles that often depend upon binding SUMO via its N- and/or C-terminal SUMO-interacting motifs (SIM-N and SIM-C). Using NMR spectroscopy, we characterized the in vitro binding properties of peptide models of SIM-N and SIM-C to SUMO-1 and SUMO-2. In each case, binding was mediated by hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions and weakened with increasing i...

Simvastatin (SIM) is a 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitor widely used in hyperlipidemia therapy. SIM has recently been studied for its anticancer activity at doses higher than those used for the hyperlipidemia therapy. This prompted us to study the pharmacokinetics of high-dose SIM in cancer patients. For this purpose, an LC-MS/MS method was developed to measure SIM and i...

microspheres formulated from poly (d,l-lactic-co-glycolide) (plga), a biodegradable polymer, have been extensively evaluated as a drug delivery system. in this study, the preparation, characterization and drug release properties of the plga microspheres were evaluated. simvastatin (sim)-loaded plga microspheres were prepared by oil-in-water emulsion/solvent evaporation method. the microspheres ...

Developmental regulatory proteins are commonly utilized in multiple cell types throughout development. The Drosophila single-minded (sim) gene acts as master regulator of embryonic CNS midline cell development and transcription. However, it is also expressed in the brain during larval development. In this paper, we demonstrate that sim is expressed in three clusters of anterior central brain ne...

The present study was undertaken to 1) formulate a pulsatile colonic delivery of simvastatin (SIM) as chronotherapy for treatment of hypercholesterolemia, and 2) enhance the dissolution profile of the prepared SIM chronotherapeutic system. Lipid based formulations were utilized to formulate SIM in capsule dosage form coated with Eudragit® S100. SIM was formulated using different percentages of ...
