The components are preferably present in relative molar amounts of (1-x-y) lead magnesium niobate, (x) lead titanate, and (y) lead magnesium tungstate, where 0.11.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.0.13 and 0.01.ltoreq.y.ltoreq.0.03. Also disclosed is a tunable ultrasonic transducer made of a relaxor ferroelectric composition that has the components lead magnesium niobate, lead titanate, and lead magnesium tunstate. A method of making a relaxor ferroelectric material comprising the step of adding an effective amount of lead magnesium tungstate to a lead magnesium niobate-lead titanate composition is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A delivery system of coated and uncoated nanoparticles (NP) for delivery of methylene blue (MB). The delivery system was developed using PLGA-based polymer that was repeatedly shown to be biocompatible and biodegradable. The parameters of synthesized NPs were within the suitable range for BBB permeation—specifically, the NPs were monodispersed, with slight negative charge, and with the size within 100-150 nm range suitable for intravenous delivery and delivery to the brain. The coating on the nanoparticle did not have a significant impact on the nanoparticle size and zeta potential. Based on the immunoblotting experiments using AD cellular model, the GSH coated NPs were better in reducing tau levels compared to MB solution. In vitro BBB Transwell permeation study showed eight fold higher MB-NP permeation compared to the MB solution over 24 hours.
Abstract:
Nanoparticle based MKT formulation. MKT is encapsulated by poly(ethylene glycol)ylated (PEGylated) poly-(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) to form nanoparticles (NPs). To induce trans-BBB permeability, glutathione (GSH) is coated on the resulting NPs. Newly generated MKT-NPs showed BBB permeability and tau reduction in experimental models. Specifically, brain-targeting MKT NPs were developed with a glutathione coating, characterized, and shown to permeate BBB permeation insert models as a therapeutic for Alzheimer's disease and related tauopathies.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for generating a statistical tree representing an extensible markup language Schema (XSD) is disclosed. Components of the XSD are prioritized according to predefined rules. A root node representing said XSD is created. Pairs of child nodes are generated from the root node. Each pair comprises at least one genuine node, and each pair of generated child nodes is appended to a parent node which is a genuine node. The path to each of said child nodes from a respective parent genuine node is represented with a binary sequence. At least one genuine node is allocated to a corresponding component of said XSD, the allocation being based on the prioritization of the component. Methods, apparatus and computer program products for generating a statistical tree representing an extensible markup language Schema (XSD), for encoding an extensible markup language (XML) document utilizing a statistical tree representing an extensible markup language Schema (XSD), and for decoding an XML document represented by a binary encoded sequence also are disclosed.

Abstract:
A gated electrode structure for altering a potential and electric field in an electrolyte near at least one working electrode is disclosed. The gated electrode structure may comprise a gate electrode biased appropriately with respect to a working electrode. Applying an appropriate static or dynamic (time varying) gate potential relative to the working electrode modifies the electric potential and field in an interfacial region between the working electrode and the electrolyte, and increases electron emission to and from states in the electrolyte, thereby facilitating an electrochemical, electrolytic or electrosynthetic reaction and reducing electrode overvoltage/overpotential.
