MINA supports asynchronous, event-driven communication over various transports like TCP/IP and UDP/IP. It provides a unified API and is highly customizable with its thread model. Unit testing is also supported through mock objects. The document demonstrates a simple echo server implementation using MINA that requires only 4 lines of code and is multithreaded and extensible.
Supply curve of monopolist
A monopolist is a sole seller that controls the entire market for a product. Unlike competitive markets, the monopolist can set the price and quantity supplied rather than having to accept the market price. The supply curve for a monopolist is different than under perfect competition because the monopolist can influence the market price rather than having to accept it as given. Specifically, the monopolist may supply the same quantity at two different prices or supply different quantities at the same price, depending on maximizing their profits.

Eye gear
This document provides historical information about various types of eyeglasses through the centuries, including monocles, pince-nez, and lorgnettes. It describes how monocles were introduced in England around 1800 and became popular among upper class men, but fell out of favor after World War I. Pince-nez gained popularity in the 1840s as a convenient style for both men and women. Lorgnettes developed from scissors glasses and were often used ornamentally by women. The document also discusses early frames with sliding temples and loops for holding glasses and notes that basic frame design has changed little despite technological advances.
Roselin Rosario Seminar
Roselyn Rosario, a graduate of UPR Cayey who is continuing her studies in the states, gave a seminar on her lab's research into using polymers in novel biodegradable drug delivery systems. Her lab is exploring combining polymers with morphine, a commonly used but highly addictive pain reliever, to reduce morphine's addictiveness, need for redosing, and impact period. Early tests combining polymers with morphine have shown positive results in reducing addictiveness and need for redosing while maintaining pain relief, offering promising benefits for patients if further research bears out.
Biopharmaceutical factors affecting drug bioavaialbility
The document discusses factors affecting drug bioavailability. It begins by defining biopharmaceutics and bioavailability. The key factors discussed are physicochemical properties of drugs like solubility, particle size and polymorphism which influence dissolution and absorption. Other factors include dosage form properties, route of administration, and patient-related factors like age, disease state and gastric emptying. Together, these factors determine the rate and extent of drug absorption after administration.

Parabens notes
Parabens are commonly used preservatives that provide antibacterial and antifungal properties. While some studies have claimed parabens may disrupt hormones or increase cancer risk, many experts argue these studies are flawed and the evidence does not support these claims. Parabens are found naturally in many plants and pose substantially less risk than naturally occurring endocrine disruptors when used in normal amounts as preservatives in cosmetics. The consensus among health and regulatory organizations is that parabens are safe to use as preservatives when used properly.
Polymorphic impurities risk assessment & investigation
Introduction
Polymorphism arises when a solid compound present in two or more crystal forms. If polymorphic impurities or anything else other than the predicted crystalline forms are present in a drug substance of a pharmaceutical product, it may impact the performance, quality, safety, efficacy and stability of the drug product. Different polymorphic forms can have different melting points, spectral properties, and thermodynamic stability. Amorphous
Assessment of Risk to the Quality of Drug Substance and Drug Product
Polymorphs are one type of solid form. Other solid form types include solvates, hydrates, and amorphous forms. Many organic and inorganic compounds, including drug substances, can exist in multiple solid forms. In the manufacturing of drug substance, polymorphism of crystals must be strictly controlled, because it significantly affects the bio-availability of a drug Impurity is one of the important aspects in control of crystal polymorphism.
Polymorphism is regularly affected by a trace amount of impurities. Many drug substances are synthesized through many reactions. It is significant to know the impact of the impurities in presence of crystal polymorphs.
Reflection of biomedical techniques course

They gained the knowledge and experience to feel prepared for an upcoming summer research internship off-island. The course covered basic techniques as well as more advanced ones and helped the student better understand how to communicate scientific findings through seminars. Overall, the student felt the course successfully prepared them for research work in a university laboratory.
Seminar 3 nanotechnology
Dr. Ronald Redwing gave a seminar on nanotechnology research and engaging the public. He defined nanotechnology as controlling atoms and molecules from 1 to 999 nm, or 1 to 100 nm depending on the context. He discussed how nanotechnology has potential applications in medicine, small devices, and self-assembled structures. Dr. Redwing also talked about undergraduate research internships at Penn State University and how their nanotechnology programs are integrated with education through science museum shows, summer camps, and high school outreach.
Seminar 2 neuroscience
Dr. John Spitsbergen will give a seminar at Western Michigan State University about neurotrophic factor biodynamics in disease models using animals. The seminar will examine expression levels of NGF and GDNF in cardiovascular tissues of hypertensive and normal rats. Dr. Spitsbergen uses rat models to study hypertension and has found evidence that altered NGF expression may be involved in developing high blood pressure, as spontaneously hypertensive rats showed elevated NGF levels in blood vessels compared to control rats.
Seminar 1 nanotechnology
During a seminar on nanotechnology, Ms. Jaritza Gómez discussed the benefits of internships and her experiences working in a laboratory. She talked about conducting research on glass and creating very stable, high density aged glasses that crystalize over time in her laboratory. The seminar also included a presentation by Dr. Andy Greenberg on nanoscience and nanotechnology, which is the study and application of small materials across various fields of science and engineering. Nanotechnology can be used to improve quality of life.
Writen report nanoshells
The document summarizes an experiment to create aluminum oxide nanoshells using electrospinning and sputtering techniques. PEO fibers were first created on quartz and oxidized silicate substrates using electrospinning. The fibers were then coated with aluminum using sputtering. Finally, heating the substrates caused the PEO fibers to evaporate, leaving behind hollow aluminum oxide nanoshells, as seen through SEM imaging. The successful creation of the nanoshells demonstrates progress in nanotechnology and provides structures that could enable future innovations such as chemical sensors or biochips.
Dr.rubin's report
This study aimed to classify Mycobacteriophages isolated from Puerto Rican soil samples into clusters by analyzing their DNA using PCR and gel electrophoresis. The DNA of 8 phages (including Carmina, Phaglus, Maximus, and Suave) did not show clear results or bands, so their clusters could not be determined. The others were classified into clusters B2 or E based on the bands, except Fenixious which showed bands for both B2 and E, possibly due to mixed DNA samples. Errors in primer addition, reagent amounts, and sample mixing could have impacted the ambiguous results.
Photomicroscopy
The document summarizes a student project to take microscope photos of grass anthers, pollen germination on stigmas, and florets using a stereomicroscope and compound microscope. The student obtained grass from their university surroundings, took photos at various magnifications of anthers, florets, and pollen germination on stigmas, and acknowledged help from their professor in taking the photomicroscopy images.

- 1. Polymer Drugs: Novel Biodegradable Drug Delivery Systems Speaker: Ms. Roselin Rosario Rutgers University April 12, 2012 The speaker, Roselin Rosario, started talking about her background information. She graduated from Chemistryin the UPR at Cayey. A polymer is a long chain of molecules joined together in a repeating fashion to form a single layer molecule. Examples of polymer uses are: paints, plastics, drug delivery, etc. They are also used in dental health. Arestin is used to kill the bacteria that underline periodontal disease. Ms. Rosario’s experiment uses Polyaspirin because it releases salicylic acid in a controlled manner and it serves for many functions so they decided to create a polymer with it. They are developing biodegradable polymers in discs, microspheres, hydrogels, etc. Morphine is an alkaloid is found in opium. There are current investigations with morphine polymers (polymorphine) to see how it can act as a pain reducing treatment.
