A feasible approach for the production of large yields of liposomes (model cell membranes) is demonstrated. The technique involves rapid evaporation of chloroform from a mixture of lipid, chloroform and methanol, which ...

The issue of whether and when to have children is no longer a biological given or an unavoidable cultural demand, but a matter of individual choice. Numerous theories have been advanced to explain why women choose to become ...

In this thesis, three methods for inference for the Burr Type X distribution shape parameter are presented. Some background on the Burr Type X distribution is given and the methods used for inference are also described ...

Over the previous twenty years, divalent lanthanide reagents have become reagents of choice for organic functional group transformations. Samarium diiodide has made a particularly impressive impact on the way synthetic ...

Since the 1970s, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has been conducting experiments to improve the duration and safety of manned space missions. For this purpose, an Advanced Life Support (ALS) system ...

A large number of processes in the chemical and petroleum industries are distributed in nature. The diversity of distribution patterns and functions make modeling of distributed parameter systems (DPS) a very challenging ...
