The resistance of bacteria toward antibacterial drugs is a rising problem. This threat major concern for space stations, where surfaces would be ideal materials which also need to corrosion-resistant, hard and durable. Accordingly, the purpose this work investigate novel coatings that have superhydrophobic mushroom microstructures. microstructures are made nickel deposited on substrate composed gold layer top silicon. were fabricated with UV-light assisted nanoimprint lithography. These...
Abstract Background and Objectives Family caregivers often experience a high level of stress, social isolation, sedentary lifestyle, poor mental physical health. An exergame intervention was developed to promote activity well-being in family test support as mechanism for behavior change. Research Design Methods The current study randomized pilot trial (N = 76) compare the effectiveness Go&Grow (social vs nonsocial exergame) through increased over 6-week intervention. Results treatment...
Given the great potential of porous carrier-based drug delivery for stabilising amorphous form drugs and enhancing dissolution profiles, this work is focussed on synthesis application carbon onion or onion-like (OLC) as a carrier oral delivery, using paracetamol (PA) ibuprofen (IBU) model drugs. Annealing nanodiamonds at 1100 °C produced OLC with diamond core that exhibited low cytotoxicity Caco-2 cells. Solution adsorption followed by centrifugation was used loading results indicated...
Microorganisms promoted corrosion has caused significant loss to marine engineering and the antibacterial coatings have served as a solution that gained attention. In this study, chemical vapour deposition technique been employed grow three different types of diamond coatings, namely, ultrananocrystalline (UNCD), nanocrystalline (NCD), microcrystalline (MCD) coatings. The evolution associated surface morphology functional groups grown demonstrated activity in seawater environments. It is...
Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) remains a main global health concern as there is no comprehensive therapeutic intervention yet and numerous adverse effects follow the process. In recent years, linezolid has been frequently used for treating MDR-TB. However, peripheral neuropathy associated with reduced patient compliance. The current study explored mechanism underlying linezolid-induced in Autophagy plays neuroprotective role against nerve injury. We hypothesized that autophagy...
Abstract: As a new generation of oxazolidinone antibacterial drugs, contezolid has been shown to have comparable or even stronger activity than linezolid and low risk adverse reactions such as bone marrow suppression toxicity. However, there are currently very few clinical reports pharmacokinetic data on the anti-tuberculosis therapy. Therefore, we report case study in elderly patients with renal insufficiency tuberculosis. The patient's condition improved after receiving an regimen...
Versatile Video Coding (VVC/H.266) greatly improves the compression performance at cost of extremely high computational complexity compared with High Efficiency (HEVC/H.265). Within context mobile devices limited power and capabilities, reductions on encoding are important; particularly to encode new data formats such as screen content sequences. Therefore, in this paper, aimed two brand-new techniques complexity, matrix-weighted intra-prediction (MIP) intra-sub-partition (ISP), we propose a...
In this study, (BiSb) 2Te3 films were deposited onto a glass substrate at 300 °C using radio frequency (RF) sputtering various growth conditions. The effects of RF power, chamber gas pressure, and annealing temperature on the thermoelectric properties investigated. An increase in was found to enhance both deposition rate grain size. After optimizing conditions applying further treatment, thin grown higher power exhibited electrical conductivity, attributable an carrier concentration....
Chinese students represent the largest group of international in United States and have been reported to experience various challenges stressors including transitional stress, academic language barriers, financial difficulties, perceived discrimination, loss social support, homesickness. This study drew from intersectionality theory examine how coped by gender (through problem-solving, avoidance, support) with psychological distress, college student stress (e.g. stress). Study participants...
Analysis of statistical characteristics in electroencephalogram (EEG) data can accurately predict epileptic seizures. However, traditional on-off line prediction methods ignore the specificity different subjects (e.g., age and seizures region brain) diversity seizure modalities during stress awake state). which leads to low accuracy poor flexibility. In this paper, sparse group penalty algorithm incremental learning mechanism are proposed improve risk prediction. particular, is based on...
Abstract The dynamics of aging vary across cultures, with Japan showing a more benign picture compared to the United States. While Japanese longevity and healthier older adulthood are well known, interest is what mechanisms lead such results. In American society, there strong emphasis on being independent, while society focuses interdependence social harmony. This study explored possible behavioral linking these psychosocial factors health examined whether pathways differ by culture. We used...
