The field of nanotechnology applied to biomedicine has witnessed unprecedented growth in recent years owing the development new nanobiomaterials and exploration novel strategies for tackling medical problems at nanoscale [...]

Background: Chitosan nanoparticles have become of great interest for nanomedicine, biomedical engineering and development of new therapeutic drug release systems with improved bioavailability, increased specificity and sensitivity, and reduced pharmacological toxicity. The aim of the present study is to synthesis and optimization of chitosan nanoparticles for industrial and biomedical applicati...

In modern history, metals have been used as implants since more than 100 years ago when Lane first introduced metal plate for bone fracture fixation in 1895 (Lane, 1895). In the early development, metal implants faced corrosion and insufficient strength problems (Lambotte, 1909, Sherman, 1912). Shortly after the introduction of the 18-8 stainless steel in 1920s, which has had far-superior corro...

LNA, which stands for low noise amplifier, as the name suggests, is used for amplifying weak and very low power signals. LNA is an important part of transceiver system. It is the fundamental building block of communication systems. LNA is used in industrial, scientific and medical bands (ISM). Radios, cellular telephones, GPS receiver, and satellite communication, etc. employ LNA. In this paper...
