Stimuli-Responsive Polymers for Drug Release in Targeted Therapy
Abstract: SRPs, or stimuli-responsive polymers, are becoming a good way to give specific drugs. They let medicines be released in a controlled way. Some of the things that can change these polymers are pH, temperature, light, magnetic fields, and the number of ions present. Some outside signs can make SRPs respond, which helps control how drugs are released. This cuts down on side effects and improves the effectiveness of focused treatments. …

A Study on the Characteristics of the Thermal Line Induced in the Limbs of a Human Body with a Pulse Light ACUP-Stimulation: New Meridian Phenomenon
Abstract: As the essence is clarified through phenomena, so the essence of the meridian is explained through their phenomena. In the past, it was attempted to clarify the nature of meridian by exploring the mechanisms of the meridian, but the aim of the present study was not achieved because of the lack of universality of the phenomena of the existing meridian phenomena. The same was the case for the thermal line—the …

Recall Abilities in Children with Learning Disability as a Function of Modality of Stimulus Presentation
Abstract: Recallrefers to the subsequent re-accessing of events or information from the past, which have been previously encoded and stored in the brain. Recall can be tested practically by exposing the participants to the stimulus and asking them to recall the stimulus either in the same of presentation or in any order. The process of recall is sensitive to many variables. The modality of stimulus presentation is a major variable affecting …
