Microwave assisted synthesis and characterisation of a zinc oxide/tobacco mosaic virus hybrid material. An active hybrid semiconductor in a field-effect transistor device

Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) has been employed as a robust functional template for the fabrication of a TMV/zinc oxide field effect transistor (FET). A microwave based approach, under mild conditions was employed to synthesize stable zinc oxi...

A new system for assessment of growth using mandibular canine calcification stages and its correlation with modified MP3 stages

Objective: Orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning for growing children must involve growth prediction, especially in the treatment of skeletal problems. Studies have shown that a strong association exists between skeletal maturity and...

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...

Scalable micro/nanostructured superhydrophobic surface modifications for enhanced energy efficiency and heat transfer performance in stainless steel and titanium

Condensation refers to the change of a substance from a gaseous phase to a liquid phase, an example of which is the condensation of water vapor in nature. Condensation is used in many industries, such as energy generation and seawater desal...
