|Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study of Pulmonary Surfactant Interacting With Nanoparticles|
MD simulation studies using NAMD of lipid bilayers supported on alpha-quartz (nanoparticles) and kaolinite with explicit water molecules will be presented to understand the physiochemical effects of nanoparticles on pulmonary surfactant.
|Pharmacokinetic Delivery and Metabolizing Rate of Nicardipine Incorporated in Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic Cyclodextrins using Two-Compartment Model|
The dispersion routes of cyclodextrin complexes with nicardipine (NC), such as hydrophilic hydroxypropyl-ß-cyclodextrin (NC/HPßCD) and hydrophobic triacetyl-ß-cyclodextrin (NC/TAßCD), through the body for controlled drug delivery and sustained release have been examined.
|Cloning And Purification of a Putative Repressor Protein from Arthrobacter nicotinovorans Pao1|
The soil bacterium Arthrobacter nicotinovorans carries the pAO1 catabolic megaplasmid which enables it to grow on nicotine (Igloi and Brandsch, 2003).
|Recycled Gas Flow Control to Optimize Reaction Conversion and the Accomplishment of Heat Integration in Benzene Production through Hydrodealkylation of Toluene|
In this work, a benzene production plant through hydrodealkylation process was investigated through a simulation by Aspen Plus V7.2® and run based on the real data obtained from a benzene production plant operating in the United States.
|Rapid Concentration of Particles in Microfluidics using AC Electrothermal Effect with Laser Illumination|
In this study, the formation of a toroidal microvortex by AC electrothermal (ACET) effect was numerically visualized using COMSOL v4.2a multiphysics software. AC voltage was applied to the two parallel electrodes in a microchannel to generate temperature gradient in the fluids.
|A Novel Synthetic Peptide as a Tool for Microvesicles / Exosomes isolation ©|
We have engineered and validated a synthetic peptide (Vn96*) with specific affinity for canonical heat shock proteins (HSPs) as a tool for rapid isolation of Exosomes or extracellular microvesicles (together referred to as eMVs here) from cell culture media, human and animal body-fluids.
|Determination of Metabolically Unstable Drugs in Blood by Heat-Stabilized DBS and LC-MS/MS|
The aims of this work were to investigate drug stability prior to, during and after blood spot sampling, using procaine, prulofloxacine, esmolol, and acetylsalisylic acid as examples of drug compounds with limited stability and to compare conventional DBS sampling procedure with DBS sampling including heat stabilization.
|Hypothesis of an Existence of a Reverse Pathway (Rp) which Passes Genetic Information from Polypeptide Antigens to Ig Genes in B-Lymphocytes|

Results of this research will bring new more effective treatment methods of many immune related diseases, including cancer.
|Microfluidic analysis of amino acids using aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase coupled with spectrophotometric detection|
Analyses of free amino acids in biological fluids?—?such as urine and plasma?—?can be useful in determining disease status in clinical diagnoses . In the food industry, unique changes in amino acid concentrations are useful markers of freshness, nutrition, and taste.
