NANOPARTICLE DEPOT FOR INTRAPERITONEAL CHEMOTHERAPY OF OVARIAN CANCER
… ovarian cancer, we have developed a nanoparticle depot for IP chemotherapy consisted of paclitaxel (PTX) nanocrystals (PNC) and hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel (HA gel). PNC with a size of ~310 nm was produced by nonsolvent and temperature-induced crystallization. Dissolution kinetics of PNC could …

The common fatty acids of human depot fat
… lipid in the mammalian organism is found in the depot fat. This tissue had, until fairly recently, been generally regarded as a semi-static food store, expanding and shrinking in response to a relative excess or deficit of dietary calories. This simple concept is no longer tenable. The pioneering …

DoD depot-level maintenance : factors to consider in public/private competition
Government arsenals and depots have traditionally provided DoD with a controlled source of depot-level maintenance capability. With the Cold War over and a shift in national priorities, DoD looks for cost savings and improved efficiency to save its shrinking budget dollars. As it looks for new ways …

Testing the metabolic sink postulate: subcutaneous adipose tissue the protective depot
… 4]. It is proposed that the subcutaneous adipose depot functions as a "metabolic sink" to sequester and store lipid from circulation, preventing ectopic deposition. Therefore, an individual with high overall fat mass primarily located in the lower body subcutaneous adipose depots could be …

Bi objective multi depot location routing problem with time window for EVs
This thesis addresses a multi-depot, bi-objective Location Routing Problem for electric vehicles (EVs), modeled as a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) problem. The mathematical model integrates cost minimization with workload fairness under time windows. A custom metaheuristic algorithm, …
