Nanobiotechnology in the Management of Glaucoma

 “Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the manifold blessings that lie in sight. Particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in adult life. ”
                                                               ---- Helen Keller
      The above sentences can be read by many people and the story of Helen Keller is also known by most of the people. But can it really work to encourage people who really have the same experience, especially those people that lose sight or hearing after growing up? The absolutely positive or negative answer cannot be given, but the preventive method of losing sight or hearing can be offered by all kinds of researches.
     The research introduced here is about the preventive method of losing sight. It introduces the management of glaucoma. Glaucoma is one of the three most severe eye diseases that can cause the blindness when it’s not treated correctly and timely. And the management of glaucoma mainly relies on pharmacological and invasive surgical treatments by reducing the intraocular pressure (IOP). But for the increase of the glaucoma all over the world, the experts and clinicians also expect some new and effective ways can be provided to reduce the risk of glaucoma and the blindness. Then the nanobiotechnology of the management of glaucoma is put forward.
Nanobiotechnology is a combination of nanotechnology and biology, which aims to study the biological phenomena via nanotechnology and can be used in many different research fields. And according to the study, the use of nanobiotechnology is very effective and it offers potential for the delivery of pharmaceutical agents of the glaucoma management.

In a word, for each person, it’s better to pay attention to their own eye health and treat the eye diseases actively when suffering from them. And keep in mind, the sight can hardly be back once lose it.

Electron Spin and Proton Spin in the Hydrogen and Hydrogen-Like Atomic Systems

Read full paper at: http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=52202#.VIj7tMnQrzE Author(s) Stanisław Olszewski * Affiliation(s) Institute of Physical Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland . ABSTRACT The mechanical angular momentum and magnetic moment of the electron and proton spin have been calculated semiclassically with the aid of the uncertainty principle for energy and time. The spin effects of both kinds of the elementary particles can be expressed in terms of similar formulae. The quantization of the spin motion has been done on the basis of the old quantum theory. It gives a quantum number n = 1/2 as the index of the spin state acceptable for both the electron and proton

Remarks on the Complexity of Signed k-Domination on Graphs

Read  full  paper  at: http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=53574#.VMnXsCzQrzE Author(s)    Chuan-Min Lee 1 , Cheng-Chien Lo 1 , Rui-Xin Ye 2 , Xun Xu 2 , Xiao-Han Shi 2 , Jia-Ying Li 2 Affiliation(s) 1 Department of Computer and Communication Engineering, Ming Chuan University, The First American University in Asia, Taoyuan, Taiwan, Chinese Taipei . 2 Department of Electronic Information Engineering, Fuzhou University, Fuzhou, China . ABSTRACT This paper is motivated by the concept of the signed k-domination problem and dedicated to the complexity of the problem on graphs. For any fixed nonnegative integer k, we show that the signed k-domination problem is NP-complete for doubly chordal graphs. For strongly chordal graphs and distance-hereditary graphs, we show that the signed k-domination problem can be solved in polynomial time. We also show that the problem is linear-time solvable for trees, interval graphs, and chordal comparability graphs

ABSTRACT Waterleaf ( Talinum triangulare (Jacq.) Willd has long been eaten in Indonesia as vegetable and the main parts consumed are leaves and young shoots. Waterleaf is sticky presumably due to its pectin content which is associated to dietary fiber. The dietary fiber which
