Recent developments in multisite catalysts based on metallocenes and post-metallocenes attracted the attention of researchers and industrial petrochemical companies due to the production of high-performance polymeric materials which generally are not achievable based on Ziegler–Natta catalysts. In this study, with the aim of predicting the average ...

The important parameters to describe waves are their amplitude and length. In order to make it easier to improve wave amplitude and facilitate wave experiment, a simple push-type wave generating method using digital rotary valve control was proposed and different wave amplitudes were generated by the new method. After the mathematical model of the ...

In the present stimulated business environment, power sector is playing a major role in the economic growth of India. During the last 20 years, the country had been facing a poor supply of energy and this supply–demand gap is increasing continuously. Therefore, it is important for power plants to improve its power generation capacity drastically by...

BackgroundCombining anti-cancer therapies with orthogonal modes of action, such as direct cytotoxicity and immunostimulatory, hold promise for expanding clinical benefit to patients with metastatic disease. For instance, a chemotherapy agent Oxaliplatin (OXP) in combination with Interleukin-12 (IL-12) can eliminate pre-existing liver metastatic col...

BackgroundIntra-and inter-tumoral heterogeneity in growth dynamics and vascularity influence tumor response to radiation therapy. Quantitative imaging techniques capture these dynamics non-invasively, and these data can initialize and constrain predictive models of response on an individual basis.MethodsWe have developed a family of 10 biologically...

Calcitonin, a potent hypocalcemic hormone, plays a vital role in inhibiting osteoclastic activities and suppressing bone removal. The physiological characteristics of calcitonin have long been discussed, along a few recommending calcitonin as a vestigial hormone. The basis for this article is to discuss the role of low and high levels of calcitonin...

BackgroundCholera is a major public health concern in displaced-person camps, which often contend with overcrowding and scarcity of resources. Maela, the largest and longest-standing refugee camp in Thailand, located along the Thai-Burmese border, experienced four cholera outbreaks between 2005 and 2010. In 2013, a cholera vaccine campaign was impl...
