Physical properties of shellac material used for hot melt extrusion with potential application in the pharmaceutical industry
(MDPI, 2021-10-28)
Hot melt extrusion offers an efficient way of increasing the solubility of a poorly soluble
drug. Shellac has potential as a pharmaceutical matrix polymer that can be used in this extrusion
process, with further advantages ...
A framework for the dynamic generation of workflows for network management
(IEEE, 2021-06-30)
A demonstration of the application of dynamically generated workflows to the management of a network environment is presented. A proposed workflow management framework (WMF) uses dynamically generated workflows to control ...
Survey on unmanned aerial vehicle for Mars exploration: deployment use case
(MDPI, 2021-12-22)
In recent years, the area of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) has seen rapid growth. There
has been a trend to build and produce UAVs that can carry out planetary exploration throughout the
past decade. The technology of ...
Macro and micro routes to high performance bioplastics: bioplastic biodegradability and mechanical and barrier properties
(MDPI, 2021-06-30)
: On a score sheet for plastics, bioplastics have a medium score for combined mechanical
performance and a high score for biodegradability with respect to counterpart petroleum-based
plastics. Analysis quickly confirms ...
β-Glucan
(MDPI, 2021)
β-glucans are a key active ingredient in mushrooms and are also found in oats, barley, yeast, bacteria and algae. In microbial sources, they are a structural component and in grain sources, they are found in the endospermic ...
Block-chain empowered multi-robot collaboration to fight COVID-19 and future pandemics
(IEEE, 2021-03-25)
This conceptual paper overviews how blockchain technology is involving the operation
of multi-robot collaboration for combating COVID-19 and future pandemics. Robots are a promising
technology for providing many tasks ...
Effect of thermal annealing on a bilayer polyvinyl alcohol/polyacrylic acid electrospun hydrogel nanofibres loaded with doxorubicin and clarithromycin for a synergism effect against osteosarcoma cells
(Elsevier, 2021-08-02)
Polyvinyl alcohol/polyacrylic acid (PVA/PAA) bilayer hydrogel nanofibres were successfully fabricated by
electrospinning and physically crosslinked via heat treatment. The effects of the thermal annealing
process on the ...
Delay-based network utility maximization modelling for congestion control in name data networking
(IEEE, 2021-10-05)
Content replication and name-based routing lead to a natural multi-source and multipath transmission paradigm in NDN. Due to the unique connectionless characteristic of NDN, current end-to-end multipath congestion control ...
Treatment for the amelioration of persistent factors in complex anal fistula
(Springer, 2021-11-19)
Anal fistulae are abnormal hollow connections between the wall of the anal canal and the
perianal skin around the anus that have remained a burden on the medical sector for centuries.
The complexity of this disease is ...
Antimicrobial PAA/PAH electrospun fiber containing green synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles for wound healing
(MDPI, 2021-05-27)
Wound infections are the main complication when treating skin wounds. This work reports a novel antimicrobial material using green synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) incorporated in polymeric fibers for wound ...
