Sustainable Preparation of Cellulose Nanofibrils and Their Applications for Multifunctional Nanocomposites
(2021-07-19)
Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs), which are commonly produced from lignocellulosic biomass, have received increasing attention in recent years due to their unique properties, such as high specific surface area (up to 600 m2/g), ...
Sustained-Release Voriconazole-Thermogel for Subconjunctival Injection in Horses: Ocular Toxicity and in-vivo Studies
(2017-07-31)
Subconjunctival (SC) injection of a thermosensitive voriconazole-hydrogel poly (DL-lactide-co-glycolide-b-ethylene glycol-b-DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA-PEG-PLGA) may allow for sustained delivery of voriconazole to the ...
Swimming Performance of Coastal and Inland Largemouth Bass at Varying Salinities
(2015-12-04)
Coastal estuaries represent an interface between marine and fresh waters, and, as such, they are exposed to seasonal and annual fluctuations in salinity. All of the organisms that live in estuaries must emigrate or endure ...
