Aerosolized therapeutics hold great potential for effective treatment of various diseases including lung cancer. In this context, there is an urgent need to develop novel nanocarriers suitable drug delivery by nebulization. To address need, we synthesized and characterized a biocompatible vehicle following surface coating Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) with polymer poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA). The polymeric shell these engineered was loaded anti-cancer quercetin their...
Abstract. Nine allozyme and two minisatellite loci were used to investigate potential genetic differentiation among three samples of Mediterranean poor cod, Trisopterus minutus capelanus , from the Gulf Lion, Tuscan Archipelago Aegean Sea. Both types markers showed consistent results, with F ST values 0.0262 0.0296 (P < 0.0015, after Bonferroni correction for multiple tests) allozymes minisatellites, respectively. Allele frequency heterogeneity tests between pairs a clear separation...
This article explores recent advances in the development of electrochemical biosensors on microneedle platforms towards on-device sensing biomarkers present dermal interstitial fluid. The integration a biosensor with platform opens possibility for minimally invasive bio-chemical detection or continuous monitoring within An introduction to fluid is provided placing emphasis sampling methods that have been employed extract and/or sample tissue analysis. We look briefly at technologies used...
This study aims to develop and validate a novel fast-detection electrochemical sensing platform enhance portable sensor solutions. The research focuses on optimising analogue front-end circuits, developing data analysis algorithms, validating the device through experiments measurement accuracy detection speed, enabling on-site measurements across diverse applications. work successfully designed Portable Unit for Lab-on-Site Electrochemistry (PULSE) system with dimensions of (78×100×2) mm3....
Despite the universal fascination with tusk of narwhal, function this long, spiraled tooth is still debated, primarily because few people have observed how narwhals ( Monodon monoceros ) use their tusks in wild. Using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), we recorded previously unreported interactions between multiple narwhals, Arctic char Salvelinus alpinus and glaucous gulls Larus hyperboreus Canada’s High Arctic. Narwhals were chasing using to hit, manipulate influence behavior fish....
Turbot Scophthalmus maximus is the focus of a rapidly expanding aquaculture industry, while at same time wild catches appear to be in decline. As preliminary investigation into effects hatchery rearing, genetic variation three polymorphic microsatellite loci was assessed two populations and farmed strains turbot, from Ireland Norway. Although considerable loss rare alleles observed Irish strain, no statistically significant reductions were found mean heterozygosity or allelic diversity...
Microneedle-based 'dry' electrodes have immense potential for use in diagnostic procedures such as electrocardiography (ECG) analysis, they eliminate several of the drawbacks associated with conventional 'wet' currently used physiological signal recording. To be commercially successful a competitive market, it is essential that dry are manufacturable high volumes and at low cost. In addition, topographical nature these emerging devices means electrode performance likely to highly dependent...
The aim of this study was to design a new canine posture estimation system specifically for working dogs. composed Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) that are commercially available, and supervised learning algorithm which developed different behaviours. Three IMUs, each containing 3-axis accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, were attached the dogs’ chest, back, neck. To build test model, data collected during video-recorded behaviour where trainee assistance dogs performed static postures...
A highly discriminatory and practical nuclear DNA genetic marker that can distinguish between Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) of European North American origin is described. Screening 2847 247 from much its geographic range for variability at a minisatellite locus, Ssa-A45/2/2, revealed the continental stocks to be almost fixed two different-sized, easily discernable alleles. Virtually all were homozygous 3.00-kb allele (frequency > 0.999), while smaller 2.77-kb = 0.946) predominated in...
A new challenge in biointerfacial science is the development of dynamic surfaces with ability to adjust and tune chemical functionality at interface between biological nonbiological entities. In this paper we describe fabrication indium−tin oxide (ITO) electrodes design a ligand that can be switched enable selectively controlled interactions DNA. Tailoring surface composition ITO electrode optimize its optical electrical properties was also studied. The attachment chemistry investigated...
