according to the bronsted definition, any compound which has a hydrogen atom is an acid, since itmay be lost as a proton. a thermodynamical cycle is proposed to calculate absolute pka values forbronsted acids in aqueous solution. the equilibrium of dissociation of a bronsted acid depends onthe interaction of the acid and its conjugate base with solvent molecules. there fore the pka valuedepends...

miRNAs as one of the potential therapeutic agents have been recently considered for cancer treatment. AS1411 (aptNCL) is a DNA aptamer specifically binding to nucleolin protein on the cancer cell surface with antiproliferative effect. The aim of the study was to develop a conjugate consisted of aptNCL (as targeted delivery of therapeutic agent) and miRNA let-7d (as a tumor suppressor) using two...

the generalization of p-frame in banach spaces is considered in this paper. the concepts of an $tilde{x}$-frame and a system conjugate to $tilde{x}$-frame were introduced. analogues of the results on the existence of conjugate system were obtained. the stability of $tilde{x}$-frame having a conjugate system is studied.

The Community-Acquired Pneumonia Immunization Trial in Adults (CAPiTA) demonstrated the efficacy of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) in preventing vaccine-type community-acquired pneumonia and vaccine-type invasive pneumococcal disease in elderly subjects. We examined the cost-effectiveness of PCV13 vaccination in the Netherlands. Using a Markov-type model, incremental cost-effe...

Curcumin is the natural bio-active component of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) with known therapeutic properties; nevertheless, its biological applications are limited due to its poor bioavailability. To overcome this limitation, curcumin was conjugated with silica nanoparticles. Curcumin was separated from turmeric by microwave-assisted extraction and silica nanoparticles were developed from rice...

S.typhimurium is a gram negative bacterium causing serious enteric or extraintestinal infections in human, cattle and birds. These kinds of infections may lead to some permanent or nonpermanent complications like endophthalmitis, Guillain-Barre syndrome and osteomyelitis . Multi-resistant strains of S.typhimurium have been reported from several countries, and these infections are a major public...
