THE DIVERSE RANGE OF POSSIBLE CELL MEMBRANE INTERACTIONS WITH SUBSTRATES: DRUG DELIVERY, INTERFACES AND MOBILITY

The Diverse Range of Possible Cell Membrane Interactions with Substrates: Drug Delivery, Interfaces and Mobility

The cell membrane has gained significant attention as a platform for the development of bio-inspired nanodevices due to its immune-evasive functionalities and copious bio-analogs.This review will examine several uses of cell membranes such as (i) therapeutic delivery carriers with or without substrates (i.e., nanoparticles and artificial polymers)

Simulation of the Optimal Refrigerated Floor Design for Ice Rinks

A good design of the ice rink floor could save a great deal of capital and operational costs for hockey arenas.This ice rink floor design focuses on a cost-effective tube arrangement and an optimal concrete coverage over the tubes that could provide sufficient heat transfer rate between the coolant and the freezing ice.This paper reports a theoreti

Improving sea surface temperature in a regional ocean model through refined sea surface temperature assimilation

Infrared (IR) and passive microwave (PMW) satellite sea surface temperature (SST) retrievals are valuable to assimilate into high-resolution regional ocean forecast models.Still, there are issues related to these SSTs that need to be addressed to achieve improved ocean forecasts.Firstly, satellite SST products tend to be biased.Assimilating SSTs fr
