The aim of this study was designing and preparing the chitosan nanoparticles (CS-NPs) loading with snake (Vipera albicornuta) venom as well as evaluating the influence of different factors on the encapsulation efficiency (EE) and loading capacity (LC) of venom. The morphologies and characteristics of CS-NPs were determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectr...

Electrodes Design for Lithium Batteries Sluggish mass transport and charge transfer dynamics are the main bottlenecks with increasing loading multiple times to commercial level. Thus, in article number 2102233, Hongchao Liu, Mingzheng Ge, Yuxin Tang, co-workers review state-of-the-art developments on constructing commercialization-driven high-capacity electrodes high loading, when comparing low...

Palm-based lipid nanoparticle formulation loaded with griseofulvin was prepared by hot homogenisation and a solvent-free method. The optimum griseofulvin loaded lipid nanoparticles were prepared via stages of optimisation, such as high pressure homogenisation (HPH) parameters, lipid and surfactant screening and selection of suitable lipid to surfactant ratios; followed by photon correlation stu...

biodegradable nanoparticulate carriers, have important potential applications for administration of therapeutic molecules. chitosan based nanoparticles have attracted a lot of attention upon their biological properties such as biodegradability, biocom-patibility and bioadhesivity. the aim of the present investigation was to describe the synthesis and characterization of novel biodegradable nano...

A method for repeatable loading of propranolol hydrochloride as a model drug onto the ion exchanger Amberlite TM IRP69 was developed and different parameters for the loading process were evaluated due to their impact of the extent of loading. It was found that the extent of loading in equilibrium is widely independent of the experimental method used. However, a magnetic stirrer comminutes the i...

Most research on creatine has focused on short-term creatine loading and its effect on high-intensity performance capacity. Some studies have investigated the effect of prolonged creatine use during strength training. However, studies on the effects of prolonged creatine supplementation are lacking. In the present study, we have assessed the effects of both creatine loading and prolonged supple...

It is well known that cellular system capacity can be increased by reducing the cell cluster size . Reducing the cluster size, however, increases cochannel interference. In recent years, several techniques have been proposed for controlling the cochannel interference and simultaneously reducing the cluster size. In this paper, we combine two proposed capacity improvement methods and explore the...

BACKGROUND Cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) oligodeoxynucleotides activate Toll-like receptor 9, leading to induction of proinflammatory cytokines, which play an important role in induction and maintenance of innate and adaptive immune responses. Previously, we have used boron nitride nanospheres (BNNS) as a carrier for delivery of unmodified CpG oligodeoxynucleotides to activate Toll-like rece...

In this paper, we derive a spatial precoding (power loading) scheme which eliminates the effects of non-ideal antenna placement on the capacity performance of spatially constrained dense MIMO systems. The precoder is derived based on fixed and known parameters of MIMO channels, namely the antenna spacing and antenna placement which are known at the transmitter. With this design, the precoder is...
