Effective treatment of glioma and other central nervous system (CNS) diseases is hindered by the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). A novel nano-delivery vehicle system composed of PLGA-lysoGM1/DOX micelles was developed to cross the BBB for CNS treatment. We have shown that doxorubicin (… |

A hollow-fiber enzyme reactor, operating under isothermal and nonisothermal
conditions, was built employing a polypropylene hollow fiber onto which â-galactosidase
was immobilized. Hexamethylenediamine and glutaraldehyde were used as spacer
and coupling agent, respectively. Glucose production was… |

The effect of a small gravitomagnetic monopole on (accelerated) circular orbits in the equatorial plane of the Taub-NUT spacetime is compared to the corresponding (accelerated) orbits pushed slightly off the equatorial plane in the absense of the monopole (Schwarzschild spacetime). |

In this work we introduce and study a nonlocal version of the PageRank. In our approach,
the random walker explores the graph using longer excursions than just moving between neighboring
nodes. As a result, the corresponding ranking of the nodes, which takes into account a long-range
interaction… |

Following some general ideas on the discrete kinetic and stochastic game theory proposed by one of the authors in a previous work, this paper develops a discrete velocity mathematical model for vehicular traffic along a one-way road. The kinetic scale is chosen because, unlike the macroscopic one,… |

We report recent results from a high-resolution numerical study of fluid particles transported by a fully developed turbulent flow. Single-particle trajectories were followed for a time range spanning more than three decades, from less than a tenth of the Kolmogorov timescale up to one large-eddy… |

This work is concerned with the semiclassical approximation of the Schro¨dinger-Poisson equation modeling ballistic transport in a 1D periodic potential by means of WKB techniques. It is derived by considering the mean-field limit of a N-body quantum problem, then K-multivalued solutions are… |

Recently, structural monitoring by radar remote sensing has become more necessary for both economic and security reasons. Infrastructure monitoring with no incorporated deformation sensors (e.g., old generation water dams for which regulations did not impose monitoring capabilities) is usually… |

The accurate segmentation of the optic disc (OD) offers an important cue to extract other retinal features in an automated diagnostic system, which in turn will assist ophthalmologists to track many retinopathy conditions such as glaucoma. Research contributions regarding the OD segmentation is on… |
