In the 1990s, the concept of resilience was first introduced into the field of urban management (Tobin1999). In 2002, the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) proposed the topic of “resilient cities,” which was introduced into urban and disaster prevention research, s...
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common type of degenerative joint disease affecting 7% of the global population and more than 500 million people worldwide [1,2,3]. The number of people affected by OA continues to increase because of rising life expectancy [4]. Over the last three decades, ...
In the synthesis of diblock and triblock copolymers, the duration of the reaction and the size of the blocks control the ratio of the sizes of the blocks because each block is prepared separately. Moreover, higher molecular weight fractions from the same reaction have a different linear to ...
Fig. 1. Blockdiagram of a CAD system based on thermograms. 2.1. Pre-processing Preprocessing deals with the non-uniformity of IR images. Another source of non-uniformity is fluctuating lighting conditions such as incandescent bulb or direct sun light. Therefore, it may be required to resize th...
The formation of scale is primarily dependent on feed water chemistry. Common types of scale can be categorized into alkaline (e.g., CaCO3), non-alkaline (e.g., CaSO4), and silica based9,10. CaCO3is the most common constituent of scale coming from calcium and bicarbonate ions in surface...
P(HPMA)-block-P(LA) copolymers in paclitaxel formulations: Polylactide stereochemistry controls micellization, cellular uptake kinetics, intracellular loca... In order to explore the influence of polymer microstructure and stereochemistry in biological settings, the synthesis, micellization, cellular fate and...
The Stronglink is designed to block a beam of optical energy until unlocked. A Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) fabricated in Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) and an ASIC have been designed to read the code contained in the ShuttleMechanism. The ASIC interprets the data read by the PIC and outputs ...
PEG-PLGA block copolymers have long been used to manufacture pegylated NPs to overcome protein adsorption and achieve prolonged circulation after systemic administration [53]. For example, in a recent study, Barjasteh et al. evaluated the use of MIL-100 (Fe) metal-organic frameworks with PEG ...
