Herein, we report the successful development of a novel nanosystem capable of an efficient delivery and temperature-triggered drug release specifically aimed at cancer. The water-soluble 130.1 ± 0.2 nm iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) were obtained via synthesis of a monodispersed iron oxide core stabilized with tetramethylammonium hydroxide pentahydrate (TMAOH), followed...
A multifunctional tumor-targeting delivery system was developed and evaluated for an efficient treatment of drug-resistant ovarian cancer by combinatorial therapeutic modality based on chemotherapy and mild hyperthermia. The engineered iron oxide nanoparticle (IONPs)-based nanocarrier served as an efficient delivery vehicle for doxorubicin and provided the ability to heat cancer cells...
Roberta Hall was part of an OSU [Oregon State University team that made exchange visits with women scholars in Nepal from 1995 through 1997. She spent Jan.-March of 1997 in Nepal and brought back extensive notes from observations and interviews; a bibliography on prehistory, current environmental problems, and women’s concerns;...

Production and marketing of the lily crop involves bulb growers, wholesale florists (jobbers), greenhouse forcers, and research horticulturists whose success depends in great measure on their knowledge of bulb physiology.
Our knowledge of the growth and development of the Easter lily and its storage and forcing requirements has increased greatly...
Nepal’s community forestry has been internationally recognized as an example of successful case of collective action. However, many scholars argue that although it has been successful in protecting forests from degradation, it has not been able to create an inclusive platform for political decision-making process. Using historical analysis, comparative case...
