A 59-years-old woman with the past history of uterine myoma post hysterectomy presented complaint lower abdominal pain for 3 months. The was vague and intermittent no aggravating or alleviating factors. scale about out 10. She denied neither bloody stools nor changes in bowel habits. Physical examination unremarkable. Subsequent colonoscopy showed an elongated “worm-like” polyp overlying normal...

The speed of the spread of Internet worms increased dramatically in recent years. Moreover it is certain that it will continue to increase in the near future with the increase in available bandwidth and network resources. The fastest known worm (only in literature) is the Flash worm, which can infect over a million hosts in less than one second. This paper presents a variant of the Flash worm t...

Code analysis and simulation of network worm infection are useful methods to evaluate how it spreads and its effects [1]. But a bug in infection algorithm or the way of implementing a random number generator etc. affects the retrieval behavior of network worm infection. It is important to evaluate the retrieval behavior of network worm infection in an experimental environment for complementing ...

Giant and stable worm micelles formed from poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based diblock copolymer amphiphiles have the potential advantage compared to smaller assemblies for delivery of a large quantity of hydrophobic drugs or dyes per carrier. Here we show that worm micelles can be targeted to cells with internalization and delivery of nontoxic dyes as well as cytotoxic drugs. Constituent copolym...

In 1963 Sydney Brenner proposed to study the development of multi-cellular organisms using a genetic approach in a simple animal. He settled on a small, transparent nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, which develops quickly and is anatomically simple with less than a thousand somatic cells. Almost half a century later there are many more researchers studying C. elegans than there are somatic cell...

Benzyl methacrylate (BzMA) is polymerized using a poly(lauryl methacrylate) macromolecular chain transfer agent (PLMA macro-CTA) using reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization at 70 °C in n-dodecane. This choice of solvent leads to an efficient dispersion polymerization, with polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) occurring via the growing PBzMA block to produ...
