Tuning the ionic character of sodium dodecyl sulphate via counter-ion binding: An experimental and computational study

Solutions of surfactants exhibit remarkable features, such as a tunable amphiphilic character, which can further be varied for ionic surfactants through variations in their Coulombic interactions.These properties are very useful in many industrial applications such as in extraction, purification, and formulation processes, as detergents, wetting ag

Manganese superoxide dismutase and breast cancer recurrence: a Danish clinical registry-based case-control study, and a meta-analysis.

Manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) inhibits oxidative damage and cancer therapy effectiveness.A polymorphism in its encoding gene (SOD2: Val16Ala rs4880) may confer poorer breast cancer survival, but data are inconsistent.We examined the association of SOD2 genotype and breast cancer recurrence (BCR) among patients treated with cyclophosphamide

On the Local Coordination of Fuzzy Valuations

The paper is devoted to the model-theoretic formalization of the semantic model of the object domain.The article discusses the concept of a fuzzy model, which is a model where the truth function exhibits properties of a fuzzy measure.We demonstrate that a fuzzy model is a generalization of the concept of fuzzification of a precedent (semantic) mode

Prognostic impact of reduced HER2 protein expression in post-neoadjuvant therapy resection specimens: A single institution experience and review of the literature

Background: Retesting for Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) in post-neoadjuvant therapy angry beavers shirt resection is variable, and data is conflicting regarding the prognostic significance of changes in HER2 expression pre and post therapy.Methods: We identified 104 patients with localized HER2 IHC 3+ breast cancer who received ne
