Purpose: To analyze the action of strontium ranelate (SR) and melatonin in isolation or in association in knees, liver and kidneys of rats Wistar with induced osteoarthritis (OA).Methods: Thirty male rats were induced to OA through an anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT), and treated with melatonin and SR in isolation or in association.Mor
Previous reports on Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) simulations of solid-state nanopores have focused on steady state behaviour under simplified boundary conditions.These are Neumann boundary conditions for the voltage at the pore walls, and in some cases also Donnan equilibrium boundary conditions for concentrations and voltages at both entrances of t
Timer Knob Coupling A negative index metamaterial (NIM) at ultraviolet range is constructed with stacked plasmonic waveguides.Based on the waveguides performing antisymmetric modes, the negative refractions of both wavevector and energy flow are realized when a TM-polarized light with a wavelength of 365 nm incidents on the plane of the layers.It i
Point-of-care (POC) technologies have proved valuable in cancer detection, diagnosis, monitoring, Safety Helmets and treatment in the developed world, and have shown promise in low-and-middle-income countries (LMIC) as well.Despite this promise, the unique design constraints presented in low-resource settings, coupled with the variety of country-sp
The cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV) is a plant virus explored as a nanotechnological platform.The robust self-assembly mechanism of its capsid protein allows for drug encapsulation and targeted delivery.Additionally, the capsid nanoparticle can be used as a programmable platform to display different molecular moieties.In view of future applica
