Due to growing concerns regarding health, safety and the environment, non-conventional methods for particle formation and micronization that are either solvent-less or use environmentally acceptable solvents such as carbon dioxide have come into favor. Supercritical CO2 (sc CO2) (T > 31.1 'C, P > 7.3 MPa) has been used in food and pharm

In this paper we introduce a new variant of splicing systems, called fuzzy splicing systems, and establish some basic properties of language families generated by this type of splicing systems. We study the “fuzzy effect” on splicing operations, and show that the “fuzzification” of splicing systems can increase and decrease the computationa

Effect of various environmental stresses on the fatty acid (FA) profile of benthic harpacticoid copepod (Pararobertsonia sp.) was checked In vitro. Samples were exposed to different pH (5, 7 and 9) and salinity (15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 ppt) at constant temperature 25ºC for 30 days. After the treatment, different fatty acid levels were determined usi

A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is vulnerable to different types of security attacks where the attackers could easily intrude into the network and could cause inexplicable destruction by disrupting the expected functionalities of the network. Severe drainage of battery may occur due to the attacks and as a result, the lifetime of the network may de

Objectives Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β regulates the function of vascular endothelial cells and may be involved in endothelial dysfunction. The canonical TGF-β pathway involves TGF-β receptor-mediated carboxy-terminal phosphorylation of Smad2; however, TGF-β signalling also activates numerous serine/threonine kinases that phosphorylate S
