A quantitative theory of attosecond pulse generation in relativistically driven overdense plasma slabs is presented based on an explicit analysis of synchrotron-type electron trajectories. The subcycle, field-controlled release, and subsequent nanometer-scale acceleration of relativistic electron bunches under the combined action of the laser and ionic potentials give rise to coherent radiation...

Hyperbranched polymers based on a polyether and polyester have been modified and used as macromolecular ligands for the anticancer drug cisplatin, giving controlled release of the drug over 7 days.

We report a novel strategy to construct temperature-responsive nanocarriers for controlled release based on mesoporous silica and reversible single-stranded DNA valves.

Microencapsulation is a technology that has shown significant promise in biotherapeutics, and other applications. It has been proven useful in the immobilization of drugs, live mammalian and bacterial cells and other cells, and other biopharmaceutics molecules, as it can provide material structuration, protection of the enclosed product, and controlled release of the encapsulated contents, all ...

During the last decade there are new developments in site-specific formulations for targeting drug to the colon. Colon has proved to be a site for the absorption of poorly soluble drugs. Micro carriers as colon drug delivery System has gained importance for the delivery of the drug in the colon because of their increase biocompatibility, controlled release of drug and higher stability. This rev...

Divalent metal ions were found to trigger the shrinkage of a supramolecular hydrogel based on a peptide dendron, and the shrinkable gel could be further used to control the release of vitamin B1.

We demonstrate electrochemically controlled release of chemodosimeters attached to ultrathin patterned platinum electrodes. Fluorescence and electrochemical methods have been employed for the detection of chemodosimeter modification/desorption and Cu(2+) binding/removal.

We report on the magnetic and structural properties of Cr-doped GaN prepared by ion implantation of epitaxial thin films. Based on a detailed analysis of the magnetometry data, we demonstrate that the magnetic interactions between Cr moments in GaN are antiferromagnetic (AFM). Increasing the Cr fractional concentration up to 0.35, we observe that strong nearest cation neighbor AFM coupling resu...

This study was performed to design bilayer regioselective floating tablets of atenolol and lovastatin to give immediate release of lovastatin and sustained release of atenolol. Bilayer floating tablets comprised two layers, i.e immediate release and controlled release layers. The immediate release layer comprised sodium starch glycollate as a super disintegrant and the sustained release layer c...

in this study, tretinoin microemulsion has been formulated based on phase diagram studies by changing the amounts and proportions of inactive ingredients, such as surfactants, co-surfactants and oils. the effects of these variables have been determined on microemulsion formation, particle size of the dispersed phase and release profile of tretinoin from microemulsion through dialysis membrane. ...
