Models for relief routing: equity efficiency and efficacy
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2012)
In humanitarian relief operations vehicle routing and supply allocation decisions are critically important. Similar routing and allocation decisions are studied for commercial settings where efficiency in terms of minimizing ...
Blind Dockings of Benzothiazoles to Multiple Receptor Conformations of Triosephosphate Isomerase from Trypanosoma cruzi and Human
(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2011)
We aim to uncover the binding modes of benzothiazoles which have been reported as specific inhibitors of triosephosphate isomerase from the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi (TcTIM) by performing blind dockings on both TcTIM and ...
Effect of LCST on the swelling of PAAm-NIPA copolymers: a fluorescence study
(Springer, 2012)
Temperature sensitive copolymers were prepared by free radical crosslinking copolymerization in aqueous solution with different molar percentage of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPA) and acrylamide (AAm) monomers. NN'-methylenebis ...
Canonical forms for families of anti-commuting diagonalizable linear operators
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2012)
It is well known that a commuting family of diagonalizable linear operators on a finite dimensional vector space is simultaneously diagonalizable. In this paper we consider a family A = {A(a)} A(a) : V -> V a = 1... N of ...
Critical Exponents of Gelation and Conductivity in Polyacrylamide Gels Doped by Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2010)
Polyacrylamide (PAM) doped by multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) gels were prepared with different amounts of MWNTs varying in the range between 0.1 and 15 wt%. The PAM-MWNT composite gels were characterized by the steady ...
Fractal Features and Structural Morphological Optical Characteristics of Sol-Gel Derived Silica Nanoparticled Thin Films
(Polish Acad Sciences Inst Physics, 2018)
Nanostructured silica films using a simple and effective sol-gel spin coating technique were synthesized and the influence of ammonia/sol ratios on the particle size and thickness of this film was investigated. In addition ...
Thiols malonaldehyde status in the Turkish and total antioxidant patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
(Tohoku Univ Medical Press, 2003)
Non-insulin-dependent (Type 2) diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Oxidative stress mechanisms are often reported to be implied in type 2 diabetes mellitus. In order to determine ...
Hyperuricemia in hypothyroidism: Is it associated with post-insulin infusion glycemic response?
(Tohoku Univ Medical Press, 2003)
This experimental study was designed to examine whether hyperuricemia in hypothyroidism is associated with insulin resistance. For induction of hypothyroidism rabbits (n = 12) were administered methimazole orally (75 mg/100 ...
Hemodilution during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting: Can we improve flow and reduce hypercoagulability?
(Forum Multimedia Publishing LLC., 2003)
Background: The aim of this study was to compare intraoperative coronary graft flows performed on pump and off pump and to evaluate the effects of hemodilution on coronary graft flows in off-pump coronary artery bypass ...
Surgical management of the spinal deformity in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type VI
(Springer Verlag, 2003)
Five patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type VI were surgically treated for their spinal deformities. All of them were female. All but one had a double-major thoracic and lumbar curve. One had a mild scoliotic curve but ...
