To date, numerous inorganic nanocarriers have been explored for drug delivery systems (DDSs). However, the clinical application of inorganic formulations has often been hindered by their toxicity and failure to biodegrade. We describe here a transformable liquid-metal nanomedicine, based on a core-shell nanosphere composed of a liquid-phase eutectic gallium-indium core and a thiolated polymeric...

Between 1990 and 1992 an extensive artificial cavity installation program was conducted on the Francis Marion National Forest (FMNF) in coastal South Carolina where Hurricane Hugo had caused vast devastation. Four artificial cavity types were installed: drilled starts, drilled cavities, modified drilled cavities, and inserts. In 1998, we examined 443 of the artificial cavities (average age 8.5 ...

Finite element modeling of ballistic impact inserts containing titanium structures were presented in the article. The an additional layer made using additive manufacturing technology analyzed. was created from repetitive elements without connections (adjacent cells inseparable). Four variants printed placed between layers Twaron CT 750 aramid fabric to create inserts. In order assess resistance...

prolonged residence of drug formulation in the nasal cavity is important for the enhancing intranasal drug delivery. the objective of the present study was to develop a mucoadhesive in-situ gelling nasal insert which would enable the reduced nasal mucociliary clearance in order to improve the bioavailability of metoclopramide hydrochloride. metoclopramide hydrochloride is a potent antiemetic an...

Introduction Although estrous synchronization has been cited over the past several decades to have significant impact on reproductive performance of beef cattle (Schafer et al., 1990), only a limited percent of beef cattle operations in the U.S. synchronize estrus. In a summary by the National Animal Health Monitoring Systems (NAHMS) only 3.3% of beef cattle in the U.S. were being synchronized ...

Lead-halide perovskites have triggered the latest breakthrough in photovoltaic technology. Despite the great promise shown by these materials, their instability towards water even in the presence of low amounts of moisture makes them, a priori, unsuitable for their direct use as light harvesters in aqueous solution for the production of hydrogen through water splitting. Here, we present a simpl...
