Designing a space-based galaxy redshift survey to probe dark energy
(2010-12)
A space-based galaxy redshift survey would have enormous power in constraining dark energy and testing general relativity, provided that its parameters are suitably optimized. We study viable space-based galaxy redshift ...

Increasingly, researchers on strategy are turning away from the highly abstracted and de-humanized components that seem to typify the macro approach to strategy. This movement is at least partially brought about by a ...
The role of vehicle-nanoparticle interactions in topical drug delivery
(2010-11-15)
Loading 'difficult to deliver' therapeutic agents into lipid nanoparticles (LN) is an attractive means to administer them to the skin. However, employing colloidal carriers to administer therapeutic agents from semi-solid ...
