Composite chitosan hydrogels for extended release of hydrophobic drugs.

Delmar K1, Bianco-Peled H2.
Carbohydrate polymers.Carbohydr Polym.2016 Jan 20;136:570-80. doi: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2015.09.072. Epub 2015 Sep 28.
A composite chitosan hydrogel durable in physiological conditions intended for sustained release of hydrophobic drugs was investigated. The design is based on chitosan crosslinked with genipin with embedded biocompatible non-ionic microemulsion (ME). A prolonged release period of 48h in water, and o

'Shrink' losses in commercially sized corn silage piles: Quantifying total losses and where they occur.

Robinson PH1, Swanepoel N2, Heguy JM3, Price T2, Meyer DM2.
The Science of the total environment.Sci Total Environ.2016 Jan 15;542(Pt A):530-9. doi: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2015.10.090. Epub 2015 Nov 3.
Silage 'shrink' (i.e., loss of fresh chopped crop between ensiling and feedout) represents a nutrient loss which can degrade air quality as volatile carbon compounds, degrade surface waterways due to seepage, or degrade aquifers due to seepage. Virtually no research has documented shrink in large si

The Evolution of the Clinical Use of Osmotic Therapy in the Treatment of Cerebral Edema.

Diringer MN1.
Acta neurochirurgica. Supplement.Acta Neurochir Suppl.2016;121:3-6. doi: 10.1007/978-3-319-18497-5_1.
For almost a century, it has been known that hypertonic solutions shrink cerebral tissue. Early attempts used hypertonic solutions of ions (sodium, magnesium) and sugars (glucose, dextrose, sucrose), concentrated albumin, and, later, urea. These early attempts were largely abandoned because the effe

Surface effects in metal oxide-based nanodevices.

Lien DH1, Durán Retamal JR, Ke JJ, Kang CF, He JH.
Nanoscale.Nanoscale.2015 Dec 21;7(47):19874-84. doi: 10.1039/c5nr06494e. Epub 2015 Nov 18.
As devices shrink to the nanoscale, surface-to-volume ratio increases and the surface-environment interaction becomes a major factor for affecting device performance. The variation of electronic properties, including the surface band bending, gas chemisorption or photodesorption, native surface defe
