Performance analysis and comparison of a minimum interconnections direct storage model with traditional neural bidirectional memoriesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This study proposes an efficient and improved model of a direct storage bidirectional memory, improved bidirectional associative memory (IBAM), and emphasises the use of nanotechnology for efficient implementation of such large-scale neural network structures at a considerable lower cost reduced complexity, and less area required for implementation. This memory model directly stores the X and Y associated sets of M bipolar binary vectors in the form of (M X Nx) and (M X Ny) memory matrices, requires O(N ) or about 30% of interconnections with weight strength ranging between ±1, and is computationally very efficient...

Polymeric Nanoparticle-Based Activatable Near-Infrared Nanosensor for Protease Determination In Vivo.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We report here a new protease activatable strategy based on a polymer nanoparticle platform. This nanosensor delivers chemically labeled matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-activatable fluorogenic peptides to the specific MMPs of interest in vivo. Intravenous administration of the nanosensor in an MMP-positive SCC-7 xenograft tumor and a colon cancer mouse model verified the enzyme specificity of the nanosensor in vivo. The design platform of the nanosensor is flexible and can be fine-tuned for a wide array of applications such as the detection of biomarkers, early diagnosis of disease, and monitoring therapeutic efficacy. ...

Dynamics of capturing process of multiple magnetic nanoparticles in a flow through microfluidic bioseparation systemEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
A mathematical model based on finite-element technique is developed for predicting the transport and capture of multiple magnetic nanoparticles in a microfluidic system that consists of a microfluidic channel enclosed by a permanent magnet. The trajectories and trapping efficiencies are calculated for multiple magnetic nanoparticles when released in the microsystem. It is demonstrated that not only the size but also the point of release of nanoparticles within the microchannel affects the capturing process. Influence of three important parameters, inlet velocities of fluid containing magnetic nanoparticles, diameter of mag...

Fullerene nanomaterials potentiate hair growth.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Hair loss is a common symptom resulting from a wide range of disease processes and can lead to stress in affected individuals. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of fullerene nanomaterials on hair growth. We used shaved mice as well as SKH-1 "bald" mice to determine if fullerene-based compounds could affect hair growth and hair follicle numbers. In shaved mice, fullerenes increase the rate of hair growth as compared with mice receiving vehicle only. In SKH-1 hairless mice fullerene derivatives given topically or subdermally markedly increased hair growth. This was paralleled by a significant increase i...

Effects of poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) as a co-emulsifier on the preparation and hypoglycaemic activity of insulin-loaded solid lipid nanoparticlesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) was used as a co-emulsifier in the preparation of insulin-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) with hydrogenated castor oil as lipid matrix and lecithin as surfactant by doubleemulsion technique. The effects of PLGA on the preparation and hypoglycaemic activity of insulin-loaded SLN were studied. The results showed that with the supplement of PLGA, the encapsulation efficiency and loading capacity were increased significantly from 79.08±1.62 to 85.57±3.21% and 1.58±0.03 to 1.71±0.06%, whereas the surface charge and particle size were changed insignific...
