Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKinetic Optimization of Folic Acid Polymer Conjugates for Drug TargetingJacob M. Ngoy, Sunny E. Iyuke, Clarence S. Yah, Wilhelm E. NeuseProblem statement: Folic Acid (FA) is an essential, bioavailable water soluble B-complex vitamin that helps in the replication of normal cells. It is obtained from natural sources and it deficiency can leads to oncogenic cells development. Within this frame work in mind, we designed and synthesized a new bioconjugate carrier that can enhance the effectiveness of FA. Approach: The polymeric … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 13 Jun 2011 · 7,110 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComplexity in Human Perception of Brightness: A Historical Review on the Evolution of the Philosophy of Visual PerceptionKuntal Ghosh, Kamales BhaumikProblem statement: The “eye-brain” complex, which contributes maximally to visual perception, is no doubt a very interesting object for complexity study. In this review we shall try to present some of its aspects in perceiving brightness. It is a well-known fact that the perceived brightness of any surface depends on the brightness of the surfaces that surround it, a phenomenon … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,685 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLow-g Area-changed MEMS Accelerometer Using Bulk Silicon TechniqueBadariah Bais, Burhanuddin Yeop MajlisA bulk micromachined accelerometer based on an area variation capacitive sensing for low-g applications was developed. The accelerometer was designed with ribbed-style fingers structure on the movable mass connected in parallel and suspended over stationary electrodes composed of differential comb fingers by means of suspension beams anchored onto the substrate. A folded, rigid truss suspension design with low spring constant … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,635 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecreational Viagra Use and Sexual Risk among Drug Abusing MenDennis G. Fisher, Robert Malow, Rhonda Rosenberg et al.Until recently, the Viagra connection to HIV was anchored in older adults. However, CDC investigation showed stability in 50+ HIV diagnoses on the heels of upward trends in risk indicators among men who have sex with men (MSM) and substance abusing populations. Signs have increasingly pointed to recreational drug use among younger populations, to which Viagra is being added to … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 10,610 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImatinib Mesylate Inhibits Glucose Uptake in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor Cells by Downregulation of the Glucose Transporters Recruitment to the Plasma MembraneHans Prenen, Cristiana Stefan, Bart Landuyt et al.Imatinib mesylate, the inhibitor of the KIT protein tyrosine kinase that is constitutively activated in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GISTs), has been established as the first highly effective drug in the treatment of patients with advanced GISTs. Recent studies suggest that changes in the glucose metabolism could be an additional mechanism of the anti-proliferative action of imatinib. The aim of this … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,248 accessesView PDF Cite
