Inclusion of older adults in the research and design of digital technology.
(MDPI, 2019-10-02)
Digital technology holds a promise to improve older adults’ well-being and promote ageing
in place. However, there seems to be a discrepancy between digital technologies that are developed
and what older adults actually ...
Enhancement of mechanical properties and wettability of TiO2NT arrays formed in simulated body fluid‐based electrolyte.
(Wiley, 2019-09-13)
Modified titanium nanotubes (TiO2NTs) coatings are grown in simulated body fluid (SBF) from Ticp and Ti6Al4V. The addition of 1% v/v of SBF to the electrolyte neither modifies film morphology nor the structural oxide ...

(MDPI, 2019-07-11)
Medical health systems have been concentrating on artificial intelligence techniques for
speedy diagnosis. However, the recording of health data in a standard form still requires attention so
that machine learning can ...
Micro-injection moulding of poly(vinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate) binary and ternary amorphous solid dispersions.
(MDPI, 2019-05)
Micro-injection moulding (µIM) was used for the production of enteric tablets of plasticised
and unplasticised solid dispersions of poly(vinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate) (PVPVA), and the effect
of the mechanical and thermal ...
The use of Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata as a test organism for the ecotoxicological evaluation of Irish freshwater aquaculture effluent and as a potential early indicator of climate change.
(Elsevier, 2019-11-20)
Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing food producing industries in the world. The dramatic increase in the growth of global aquaculture production has many environmental concerns. The evaluation of aquaculture effluent ...
