The control of nucleation in crystallization processes is a challenging task due to the often lacking knowledge on the process kinetics. Inflexible (predetermined) control strategies fail to grow the nucleated crystals to the desired quality because of the variability in the process conditions, disturbances, and the stochastic nature of crystal nucleation. Previously, the concept of microwave a...

background and objectives: colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer and a major cause of morbidity globally. hepatocellular carcinoma is a leading cause of death in the world. about 80% of all anticancer drugs are somehow related to natural products. one of the most important of these natural compounds is curcumin, the main component of turmeric that has a wide range of pharmacological...

The ability to transport a large quantity of drug molecules into cytosolic compartments of cancer cells has powerful implications in modern molecular therapeutics because the sites of action of the drugs are often cytosolic organelles. Furthermore, direct cytosolic delivery might offer a means to evade efflux transporters, such as multidrug-resistance proteins and P-glycoproteins. Nanoparticle ...

The aim of the present study was to use a model of simulated human childbirth in rats to determine the damage to genitourinary structures and behavioral signs of urinary dysfunction induced by vaginal distension (VD) in female rats. In experiment 1, the length of the genitourinary tract and the nerves associated with it were measured immediately after simulated human delivery induced by VD or s...

In alignment with the efforts on miniaturizing components of electronic devices enhanced performance, we investigate a dielectric nanocapacitor (DNC) based metallic borophene electrodes separated insulating hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) monolayers ($n=1--5$). The capacitive performance proposed DNC as function applied electric field ($\stackrel{P\vec}{E}$) and thickness material is examined by...

In two experiments, we tested the hypothesis that medial temporal lobe (MTL) amnesic patients and, likewise, diencephalic (DNC) amnesic patients evidence a disproportionate deficit in memory for associations in comparison with memory for single items. In Experiment 1, we equated item recognition in amnesic and control participants and found that, under these conditions, associative recognition ...

In this paper, we propose a new model called deep network cascade (DNC) to gradually upscale low-resolution images layer by layer, each layer with a small scale factor. DNC is a cascade of multiple stacked collaborative local auto-encoders. In each layer of the cascade, non-local self-similarity search is first performed to enhance high-frequency texture details of the partitioned patches in th...

Technology has made it increasing difficult to be “let alone” as the number of portals into homes and businesses continues to grow, and as access to those portals remains relatively easy. Fixed and mobile phones, fax machines, voice mail, email and instant messaging all represent opportunities for commercial interests to solicit consumers and invade their personal privacy in the process. This p...
