Applications of Nanotechnology in Drug Delivery and Design-An Insight

Nanotechnological application is greatly important in the field of drug delivery because of its high specificity towards the target site, so it is able to reduce toxic side effects of drugs to normal cells. Reduce plasma fluctuation of drugs, high solubility, efficiency, reduces cost of products and enhancement of patience comfort are reasons that nanotechnology is used for drug delivery. The nanoparticle (NP) plays a vital role and it can conjugate with various drugs by different methods to deliver drugs to the target site. The NP surface is designed with ligands to get affinity towards specific cells and co-polymers to get protection from immune cells. The nanoparticles conjugated drug can eventually recognize the site and join to the target and enter to the cell by receptor mediated endocytosis. Then NPs are able to release drugs controllably to cure diseases. This review analyses the nanotechnology in drug delivery, discovery, nanoparticles and formulation, mechanism of drug delivery and applications.

Kommunikation in Krisenzeiten: Neue Perspektiven auf die Interaktion von Risikowahrnehmung und Gesundheitsinformationsverhalten am Beispiel der Ebola-Epidemie

Die Konfrontation mit Krankheiten hat das Potenzial, uns in unseren Grundfesten zu erschüttern. Gewissheiten werden infrage gestellt, Risiken rücken neu oder stärker ins Bewusstsein. Dinge, um die man sich eigentlich nie gekümmert hat, bekommen auf einmal Relevanz. Vielen dieser gesundheitsbezogenen Anforderungen gegenüber fühlt man sich hilflos. Es wird zu einer zentralen kognitiven Herausforderung, sich in dieser Situation neu zu orientieren, wieder Sicherheit zu gewinnen und Vertrauen in die eigenen Weltbilder aufzubauen. Dies kann aber mitunter schwierig sein, denn selbst die Versuche, Orientierung zu finden, können neue Herausforderungen schaffen. Für die Kommunikationswissenschaft sowie speziell die Gesundheitskommunikation sind diese Phänomene in mehrfacher Hinsicht bedeutsam. Zum einen kann die Konfrontation mit einer Krankheit auf medialem Weg erfolgen. Durch die Medien erfahren wir von Krankheitsrisiken, Symptomen oder Epidemien. Diese können, müssen aber nicht in jedem Fall zu einer Beunruhigung führen. Auf der anderen Seite sind die Medien gefordert, wenn es um Orientierung geht. Ganz selbstverständlich suchen wir in den Medien nach Informationen, die uns in den als unsicher empfundenen Situationen erhöhter Risikowahrnehmung oder Betroffenheit bei einer Neuorientierung helfen sollen. Ob uns dies aber gelingt, ist mitunter fraglich. Manches Mal werden die Medien mehr Fragen aufwerfen als Antworten geben. Dieses mögliche Wechselspiel wollen wir anhand der Ebola-Epidemie 2013 bis 2015 untersuchen. Das Ebolafieber brach Ende Dezember 2013 in Guinea, Westafrika, aus. Bis Januar 2015 waren insgesamt 21.296 von Ebola Betroffene und 8.429 Todesfälle registriert (WHO, 21.01.2015). Es handelte sich 1
Sistema de geração de trajetórias em manipulador cartesiano para aplicações em soldagem naval

This research deals with the development of a syste m control applied in cartesian manipulators for trajectory generation an d correction of welding. The system was initially configured for ty pical applications in naval welding with manipulator in two degrees of fr eedom called Tartílope V2F. This equipment is constituted by two axes: orthogonal and prismatic. The Y axis is responsible for follow ing the joint and the transversal weaving movement of the weld bead, whil e t e X axis is a flexible rail which molds itself to curved surfaces , nabling the welding of broadsides joints, blocks and panels of ships. T his development has as differentials the hardware and a software struct u ed in C++ language with object orientation that facilitates the creati on of new functionality to Tartílope V2F and the adaptation of other cartes ian manipulators with more degrees of freedom. The control system develop ed for Tartílope V2F is composed by the following modules: user inte rface, welding support, generation of motion commands, activation n the axis, analogical input used for receiving the signals fro m trajectory automatic correction the trajectory sensors and digital input and output for synchronizing with peripheral equipment. The user i nterface is easy to use, allowing the programming of welding trajectori es with multiple passes and filleted excerpts with trapezoidal weavi ng type via touch screen display. This module also counts with the po ssibility of correcting all trajectory parameters during welding . Due to the fragility of touch screen display, a welding support module, which is a portable device resistant to welding spatter was developed. Such device allows the operator to position the torch, load user inter face programs for execution, and also perform corrections in all traj ectory parameters the during welding. The module motion command generatio n generates step and direction signals for each axis and sends for t he respective drivers the activation of motors according to the programme d or corrected trajectory. The LPC2148 microcontroller this module is also responsible for managing the module analogical input and the di gital input and output. The module activation in the axis of Tartíl ope V2F was substituted due to need for expanding the range vel ocity in positioning and also the welding torch. In both axes an optimiz ed activation pack was used: a bipolar driver in current with DSP tech nology with its respective high-torque step motor. Finally, laborat ry experiments were performing for validating the system, initially foc using on features and performance, and later simulating its application i n welding vessel broadsides. Excellent welding results and the integ ration between operator and manipulator have been obtained in both stages.
aSPEkt-Studie – Ambulante Spastik-Patienten in der Einschätzung ihrer Pflegekräfte

In einer standardisierten Befragung beurteilten Pflegekrafte von 10 ambulanten Pflegediensten aus ganz Deutschland die Lebensqualitat, medizinische Versorgung und den Pflegeaufwand der von ihnen betreuten Personen mit spastischem Syndrom. Eines der Ergebnisse: Eine leitliniengerechte Behandlung, die die Symptomatik reduzieren konnte, findet nur in ca. 25 % der Falle statt. Das hat nicht nur gravierende Folgen fur die Lebensqualitat der Patienten, sondern ist auch unter wirtschaftlichen Gesichtspunkten negativ zu werten.
AES-128 cipher: Minimum area, low cost FPGA implementation

The Rijndael cipher, designed by Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen and recently selected as the official Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is well suited for hardware use. This implementation can be carried out through several trade-offs be- tween area and speed. This paper presents an 8-bit FPGA implementation of the 128-bit block and 128 bit-key AES cipher. Selected FPGA Family is Altera Flex 10K. The cipher operates at 25 MHz and con- sumes 286 clock cycles for algorithm encryption or decryption, resulting in a throughput of 11 Mbps. Synthesis results in the use of 957 logic cells and 6528 memory bits. The design target was optimization of area and cost.
SDGM iron and atrophy are related to disability in MS 526 The most frequent approach for visualizing iron deposition in vivo

The association between clinical outcomes and abnormal susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI)-filtered phase, indicative of increased iron content, as well as atrophy, was investigated in the subcortical deep-gray matter (SDGM) of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. 149 relapsing-remitting (RR) and 61 secondary-progressive (SP) MS patients underwent SWI on a 3T scanner. Mean phase of the abnormal phase tissue (MP-APT) and normalized volumes were determined for the total and region-specific SDGM structures. In an ageand genderadjusted regression model, total SDGM volume was the strongest predictor of Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) (beta = -.224, p <.001), followed by total SDGM MP-APT (beta = -.168, p <.019). This model accounted for 30.4% of the variance in EDSS. Only SDGM MP-APT added additional variance in predicting EDSS, compared to conventional MRI metrics. Caudate and red nucleus MPAPT and amygdala volume were associated with EDSS. Our findings suggest that disability in MS patients is associated better with SDGM pathology, as indicated by increased iron content and atrophy, than with lesion burden or white matter and cortical volumes 2.

CANCER IN AYURVEDA

ABSTARCT Changed dietary habit, pollution, industrialization, sedentary life style and stress, are the factors responsible for development of so many fatal diseases now a days. Cancer is one of them. The descriptions regarding this disease are available in a scattered form under the context of various diseases in Ayurveda. There is a need to compile this information collectively in systemic manner that may help us in understanding the etiology, pathology and the management of the disease in a better way. So many drugs have been mentioned for the management of this condition. If evaluate methodically they may generate some curative or supportive remedy for the sufferers of this disease. Keeping this in view, the available information on Ayurvedic management of the benign growths, cyst and malignant tumors have been collected and reviewed. It is evident that early Ayurvedic physicians had a good understanding of etiology, clinical manifestations, symptoms, classifications, malignant and benign nature of tumors, metastasis, recurrence, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. It is remarkable that the basic information is fairly consistent with the current knowledge in these areas given the technology available 800 years ago. Various formulations (e.g. paclitaxel, curcumin sulfate, vincristin, vinblastin) being used frequently in conventional medicine for management of tumor, are originally derived from herbs. The review has shown that the Ayurvedic therapies are useful as an adjuvant to conventional chemotherapy.
Zur Neurobiologie der Insomnie

Chronische Ein- und Durchschlafstörungen, die die Tagesbefindlichkeit beeinträchtigen, werden als Insomnie bezeichnet. Die Ursachen dieser Schlafstörung sind relativ schlecht verstanden, wobei die Forschung hierzu in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten primär psychologisch ausgerichtet war. Diesbezüglich hat jedoch in den letzten Jahren ein Umdenken stattgefunden. Seitdem werden vermehrt neurobiologische Methoden eingesetzt, um zu einem besseren Verständnis der Entstehung der Insomnie zu gelangen. Diesbezügliche Arbeiten werden in diesem Artikel überblicksartig zusammengefasst. Die Hoffnung der in diesem sich rasch entwickelnden Forschungsfeld arbeitenden Wissenschaftler ist, dass ein Verständnis der neurobiologischen Mechanismen, die zu Ein- und Durchschlafstörungen führen, zu einer Verbesserung der Behandlung der chronischen Insomnie beitragen kann.
Phases beyond Clauses

It is agued that there is crosslinguistic variation regarding what counts as a phase in the traditional Noun Prase (TNP) which tracks independent crosslinguistic variation regarding the categorial status of the TNP assumed under the DP/NP parameter, on which languages without articles lack DP. In particular, it is argued that DP is a phase in DP languages, and NP is a phase in NP languages. However, in a few cases where an additional phrase is projected above NP in NP languages, this additional phrase becomes a phase instead of the NP. The real source of the parametric variation in question then concerns the amount of structure projected in a TNP, not phasehood, since the highest projection in a TNP always counts as a phase. The tests for phasehood developed for the TNP are also applied to APs and PPs, leading to the conceptually appealing conclusion that all major phrases, NP, AP, PP, and VP, project phases, with the exact phasal projection depending on the amount of functional structure above the major phrases. Many of the diagnostics for the locality of movement that are used in the paper are crucially affected by the structural/inherent case distinction, inherent case being less constrained than structural case with respect to a number of movement phenomena. Based on this it is argued that the inherent/structural case distinction has a structural reflex, i.e. that inherent case and structural case should be treated in a different manner structurally.
SVM-LWT ENABLED FUZZY CLUSTERING-BASED IMAGE ANALYSIS FOR BRAIN TUMOR DETECTION 1

Medical image processing plays a key role in medical practices that detect brain tumor. This study proposes using the support vector machine (SVM) technique to accurately identify tumor stages from magnetic resonance (MR) images. The accuracy of any brain tumor detection scheme relies on its ability to effectively and separately differentiate various types of tissues. Segmentation based schemes used for detection can be considered the most important process in the characterization, delineation and visualization of regions of interest in MR images. This study evaluates the ability of support vector machine (SVM) to identify tumor type and lifting based wavelet transformation (LWT) to extract different tissue classes from MR images. The proposed technique uses SVM, LWT and fuzzy clustering method based segmentation, abbreviated as SWFCM and has the potential to automatically analyze large data sets of MR images. To evaluate the performance of our proposed mechanism, we conducted simulations on different MR images. The simulation results prove the significance and efficacy of our proposed mechanism in comparison to the existing techniques.

College Access, Student Success, and the New Character Education

Abstract Over the past several years, there has been a resurgence of interest in-and reconceptualizing of- character education in primary and secondary schools across the United States. An important question, then, is how this new emphasis on character development at the K-12 level impacts the work of university faculty and student affairs professionals. Are graduates of these primary and secondary schools with an intensive character focus arriving at their respective universities with heightened levels of grit and social intelligence? Are such qualities facilitating their ability to thrive at the postsecondary level? Are university faculty and staff coordinating with their K-12 counterparts to support the continued development of these qualities in newly matriculated students? The authors pose these questions in interviews with four different university stakeholders who can speak to the effects at the university level of the new character education emphasis in many American primary and secondary schools.
The Balance of Nature and Human Impact: Anthropogenic footprints on biodiversity

One of the most concerning issues to modern ecology and society is the ongoing loss of biodiversity. Ecosystems are now losing species at rates only seen in previous mass extinction events (Hails, 2008; Barnosky et al., 2011) with rates of extinction between 100 and 1000 times higher than pre-human levels (Pimm et al., 1995). This loss, in turn, is impairing the functioning of ecosystems (Worm et al., 2006; Mora et al., 2011a) and their capacity to deliver goods and services to mankind (Díaz et al., 2006). The sharp contrast between the declining “supply” of the Earth’s services and the rising “demand” from a growing human population indicates that such services will increasingly fall short, leading to the exacerbation of hunger, poverty, and human suffering (Campbell et al., 2007; Mora & Sale, 2011). There is relatively good consensus that biodiversity loss is being driven directly or indirectly by human stressors such as overexploitation, habitat loss, invasive species, and climate change (Myers, 1995; Sala et al., 2000; Novacek & Cleland, 2001; Gaston et al., 2003; Jackson, 2008; Weidenhamer & Callaway, 2010). The relative role of such stressors, however, has been a focus of controversy as all threats do provide rational mechanisms to explain biodiversity loss and unfortunately most threats co-occur in natural conditions, making it difficult to isolate their individual effects (Myers, 1995; Sala et al., 2000; Novacek & Cleland, 2001; Mora et al., 2007). Since the cost of mitigating specific stressors could be considerable but disproportionate among different sectors of the economy (e.g., industries vs. fishers, fishermen vs. tourism developers, etc.), this uncertainty over the relative effect of anthropogenic stressors is often used as an argument to prevent the implementation of mitigation policies (e.g., Schiermeier, 2004; Worm &Myers, 2004; Grigg & Dollar, 2005). A counter-argument, however, is that any stressor at play, if proven to have a considerable effect on biodiversity, should be mitigated regardless of its effect relative to other stressors. This would, of course, require demonstrating the significance of the stressor(s) at play. In this review, we provide an overview of the current biodiversity crisis and the role of anthropogenic stressors. The evidence is considerable and although some uncertainties remain and will probably never be answered, there is considerable knowledge to suggest that a lack of policy action
Present trends in coeliac disease

Much has been achieved and learned since the first full clinical description of coeliac disease nearly a century ago (Gee, 1888), the demonstration of the harmful fraction in wheat and rye responsible for the clinical symptoms (Dicke, 1950), the role of gluten in these cereals (Anderson et al., 1952), and the effect of gluten on the pathogenesis of the small bowel mucosa (Shiner and Doniach, 1960). Yet the mechanism whereby gluten causes its harmful effect or indeed the precise fraction in gluten responsible for the mucosal pathology has still not been elucidated. To fill these pages with well worn repetitions of past achievements in this subject would indeed be an injustice to Sir Francis Avery Jones who is well known for his forward-looking attitude in all fields of gastroenterology and who could justly be regarded as one of the founding fathers of British gastroenterology. Rather I propose, after a short summary of the salient landmarks in coeliac disease, to delineate certain recently investigated aspects which I regard as important trends towards a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms operating in coeliac disease.
Influence of GIL 01 and GIL 16 tectiviral lysogeny on bacterial growth , 1 biofilm formation , and swarming motility of Bacillus thuringiensis

20 Bacillus thuringiensis is an entomopathogenic bacterium that has been used worldwide as an 21 efficient biopesticide. Despite that this bacterium is usually described as an insect pathogen, 22 its lifecycle in the environment is still largely unknown. B. thuringiensis belongs to the 23 Bacillus cereus group of bacteria, which has been associated with many mobile genetic 24 elements such as species-specific temperate or virulent bacteriophages (phages). Temperate 25 (lysogenic) phages are able to establish a long-term relationship with their host, providing, in 26 some cases, novel ecological traits to the bacterial lysogens. Therefore, this work focuses on 27 evaluating the potential influence of temperate tectiviruses GIL01 and GIL16 to the 28 development of different life traits of B. thuringiensis. For this purpose, a B. thuringiensis 29 serovar israelensis plasmid-cured (non-lysogenic) strain was used to establish bacterial 30 lysogens for phages GIL01 and GIL16 and, subsequently, the following life traits were 31 compared among the strains: kinetics of growth, metabolic profiles, antibiotics susceptibility, 32 biofilm formation, swarming motility and sporulation. The results revealed that GIL01 and 33 GIL16 lysogeny has a significant influence on bacterial growth, sporulation rate, biofilm 34 formation and swarming motility of B. thuringiensis. No changes in metabolic profiles or 35 antibiotics susceptibilities were detected. These findings provide evidence that tectiviruses 36 can have a putative role in B. thuringiensis lifecycle as adapters of life traits with ecological 37
Parallel Computing for Process Mining

Process mining focuses on the discovery and analysis of business processes based on event logs that are recorded by the information systems in an organization. With more and more event data being recorded by such systems, process mining becomes a computationally intensive task. The goal of this work was to study how process mining techniques could be parallelized in order to be possible to analyze more data in less time. For that purpose, we used a simplified version of some of the most common algorithms for process mining. These simplified versions focus on transition counting, which is the basis for many process mining techniques. We will describe those algorithms and the possible ways we envisioned to parallelize them. We evaluate the performance of these parallelizations by comparing them to a single-threaded version, and using both synthetic and real-world event logs.
