SHORT NOTE ON THE FIRST RECORD OF FOSSIL SHARK TEETH IN THE CHEHEL-KAMAN FORMATION, IRAN


Preparation and properties of Pue-loaded HA-ADH-PS nanomicelles

Puerarin (Pue) is the most abundant isoflavonoid in kudzu root.It has been widely used as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.However, poor-bioavailability of puerarin is the main obstacle to its widespread clinical applications.In this paper, HA-ADH-PS nanomicelles were prepared by chemical modification, noncovalent mo

Unsupervised Video Shot Detection Using Clustering Ensemble with a Color Global Scale-Invariant Feature Transform Descriptor

Scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) transforms a grayscale image into scale-invariant coordinates of local features that are invariant to image scale, rotation, and changing viewpoints.Because of its scale-invariant properties, SIFT has been successfully used for object recognition and content-based image retrieval.The biggest drawback of SIFT

Comparative assessment of An. gambiae and An. stephensi mosquitoes to determine transmission-reducing activity of antibodies against P. falciparum sexual stage antigens

Abstract Background With the increasing interest in vaccines to interrupt malaria transmission, there is a demand for harmonization of current methods to assess Plasmodium transmission in laboratory settings.Potential vaccine candidates are currently tested in the standard membrane feeding assay (SMFA) that commonly relies on Anopheles stephensi mo
