Interest in using peptide molecules as therapeutic agents due to high selectivity and efficacy is increasing within the pharmaceutical industry.However, most peptide-derived drugs cannot be administered orally because of low bioavailability and instability in the gastrointestinal tract due to protease activity.Therefore, structural modifications pe
In vivo evaluation of a polyester and fiberglass composite intramedullary nail for femoral osteosynthesis in calves
The objective of this study was to test a composite of polyester resin and fiberglass in the form of an intramedullary nail for osteosynthesis of femoral fractures in calves.The methodology was established based on a previous study that used a bovine femur finite element model to simulate fractures, which were then stabilized by the same nails as p
Resolution of ranking hierarchies in directed networks.
Identifying hierarchies and rankings of nodes in directed graphs is fundamental Set Of Two Wooden Keychains in many applications such as social network analysis, biology, economics, and finance.A recently proposed method identifies the hierarchy by finding the ordered partition of nodes which minimises a score function, termed agony.This function p
Heartbeat Detection by Laser Doppler Vibrometry and Machine Learning
Background: Heartbeat detection is a crucial step in several clinical fields.Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV) is a promising non-contact measurement for heartbeat detection.The aim of this work is to assess whether machine learning can be used for detecting heartbeat from the carotid LDV signal.Methods: The performances of Support Vector Machine (SVM
Enhanced photoelectrochemical activities for water oxidation and phenol degradation on WO3 nanoplates by transferring electrons and trapping holes
Abstract It is highly desired to improve the photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance of nanosized WO3 by artificially modulating the photogenerated electrons and holes simultaneously.Herein, WO3 nanoplates have been successfully prepared by a simple one-pot two-phase separated hydrolysis-solvothermal method, ADRENAL and then co-modified with RGO and
