Transcutaneous permeation enhancer complex for polymer-based transdermal patches

Selecting a permeation enhancer complex (PEC) for inclusion in a matrix-type transdermal patch (TP) is a primary task in creating a new dosage form with percutaneous administration. Objective: to develop a biologically safe PEC capable of r...

Study on the Growth Kinetics and Morphology of Methane Hydrate Film in a Porous Glass Microfluidic Device

Natural gas hydrates are widely considered one of the most promising green resources with large reserves. Most natural gas hydrates exist in deep-sea porous sediments. In order to achieve highly efficient exploration of natural gas hydrates...

Experimental studies of the influence of the characteristics of the metal bond coat on the durability of the heat-protective coating of the turbine blades of a gas turbine engine

The service life of gas turbine engine (GTE) turbine blades with thermal barrier coatings (TBC) depends on many factors, including the composition, structure and properties of the metal bond coating (MB). The positive effect of using TBC is...

An innovative and sustainable design of intangible Miao wax printing patterns in combination of diffusion model and fuzzy TOPSIS

Abstract Miao wax printing is a dyeing and weaving process in which natural dyes replace chemical dyes. It is renowned for its unique patterns and exquisite craftsmanship. However, with the development of industrialization and the decreasin...

Social Anthropology of Technology

At the onset of the 20th century, anthropologists such as Balfour, Marett, and Haddon could readily identify three spheres of strength in anthropological research: material culture, social organization, and physical anthropology (49). The s...

Molecular detection of antibiotic resistance genes in Staphylococcus aureus isolated from poultry farms of Kathmandu Valley, Nepal

Abstract Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as a critical global health challenge and is currently addressed through a “One Health” approach that investigates its occurrence in humans, animals, and the environment, as wel...

A morning with Louis Pasteur: a short history of the “clean hands”

Abstract: This article examines the story of Louis Pasteur from the point of view of a classic movie presented at the Weekly Seminars of the “Oswaldo Cruz Institute”, at the end of the 2017 activities. Although very old, the movie The Story...

The Architecture of an Automatic eHealth Platform With Mobile Client for Cerebrovascular Disease Detection

BackgroundIn recent years, cerebrovascular disease has been the leading cause of death and adult disability in the world. This study describes an efficient approach to detect cerebrovascular disease. ObjectiveIn order to improve...

White matter structural changes in the visual pathway of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy patients: a free water and multi-shell diffusion imaging study

BackgroundCompared to single-shell diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), free water (FW) and neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI) offer a more comprehensive evaluation of microstructural alterations in cerebral white matter ...

Sports Geography

'Space' and 'place' are concepts central to both geography and sport. Places, for example, are the means of identifying most sports teams, while sport both affects, and is affected by, the physical environment and landscape.In this fully re...

Nested Within or Swallowed Up: Le dilemme des chercheurs francophones en pédagogie postsecondaire au Canada

La littérature dans le domaine de la recherche en pédagogie postsecondaire (RePP) a pris une expansion importante au cours des dernières décennies, particulièrement dans les espaces anglophones tels que l’Amérique du Nord, l’Europe de l’Oue...
