For mechanism analysis and high-performance control of synchronous reluctance machine (SynRM), accurate reliable parameter identification nonlinear magnetic model is always required. However, the accuracy robustness traditional heuristic algorithms are restricted by incomplete individual performance evaluation single population evolution mechanism. In this paper, we propose a self-adaptive syne...

Pluronic/bile salt/phospholipid mixed micelles (Pluronic/BS/PS-MM) drug carrier system for solubilization hydrophobic drugs was developed. A typical hydrophobic compound, pyrene, was selected as a representative hydrophobic compound to model the hydrophobic drugs. Five Pluronics, F68, F88, F98, F108, and F127 with different PPO chain length were studied. CMC data and solubilization capacities w...

The corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 1M H2SO4 by polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and the synergistic effect of iodide ions were investigated using weight loss and hydrogen evolution methods in the temperature range of 30 – 60 o C. The corrosion rates of mild steel decreased with the increasing concentration of PVP, while the inhibition efficiency (%I) increased. The inhibition efficiency of PV...

Acinetobacter baumannii resistance to carbapenem antibiotics is a serious clinical challenge. As a newly developed technology, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) show some excellent characteristics compared to older treatments, and are a candidate for combating A. baumannii infection. However, its mechanism of action remains unclear. In this study, we combined AgNPs with antibiotics to treat carbapen...

In this work, we developed an efficient "molecularly imprinted polymer microzymes and inorganic magnetic nanozymes" synergistic catalysis strategy for the formation of disulfide bonds in peptides. The polymeric microzymes showed excellent selectivity toward the template peptide as well as the main reactant (linear peptide), and the Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) nanozymes inhibited the inter...

The mechanism of gene regulation has been studied intensely for decades. It is important to identify synergistic transcriptional motifs. Its search space is so large that an efficient computational method is required. In this paper, we present the method that can search automatically both transcriptional motif list and gene expression profiles for synergistic motif combinations. It uses evoluti...

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are known to enhance the responsiveness of tumor cells toward chemotherapeutic drugs and radiation. However, the precise mechanism of synergistic enhancement in tumoricidal activity is not clearly known. Herein, we demonstrate that the combination treatment of arsenic trioxide (As2O3) and sulindac resulted in a synergistic augmentation of cytotoxic...

In a previous study, we reported that two kaempferol glycosides isolated from Laurus nobilis L., kaempferol-3-O-alpha-L-(2'',4''-di-E-p-coumaroyl)-rhamnoside (C2) and kaempferol-3-O-alpha-L-(2''-E-p-coumaroyl-4''-Z-p-coumaroyl)-rhamnoside (C3), showed strong antibacterial activities against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci. Thereafter we fo...
