This paper presents numerical works on estimating some logistic models using particle swarm optimization (PSO).The considered models are the Verhulst model, Pearl and Reed generalization model, von Bertalanffy model, Richards model, Gompertz model, hyper-Gompertz model, Blumberg model, Turner et al.model, and Tsoularis model.We employ data on comme
The role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced 3 different nitric oxide synthase (NOS) isoforms in lung development and injury in the newborn (NB) lung are not known.We hypothesized that VEGF-induced specific NOS pathways are critical regulators of lung development and injury.We studied NB wild type (WT), lung epithelial cell-targete
Green tea extract derived from the leaves of Camellia sinensis L.(CS), is a representative beverage with antioxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-viral properties.CS extract is also used in cosmetics.Colloidal gold is generally a sol or colloidal suspension of gold nanoparticles in water.Colloidal gold green tea (CGCS), cultivated as a fertilizer using t
Concurrent melioidosis, leptospirosis, and scrub typhus after rural activities is rarely reported.A 19-year-old previously healthy man had fever onset after 2 weeks of military training.Pneumonia became evident on the fifth day of fever under intravenous penicillin and oral minocycline therapy.Acute respiratory failure developed the next day with P
Titanium silicalite-1 (TS-1) is a milestone heterogeneous catalyst with single-atom tetrahedral titanium Foil incorporated into silica framework for green oxidation reactions.Although TS-1 catalysts have been industrialized, the strategy of direct hydrothermal synthesis usually produces catalysts with low catalytic activities, which has still puzzl
