Abstract Background A microsponge delivery system (MDS) is an innovative and unique way of delivering drugs in a structured manner.Using microsponge drug delivery, regulated drug delivery may now be achieved quickly and easily.Main body MDS comprises porous microspheres ranging in size from 5 to 300 microns, with a large porous structure and a very
Gully erosion in agrosilvopastoral systems of SW Spain represents a common degradation process, but has been hardly analysed.The suitability of using the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and Structure from Motion photogrammetry (SfM) workflow to map Pants small valley-bottom gullies in these landscapes was tested.The results showed centimetre-level a
In an effort to develop new potent antimicrobial and anticancer agents, new pyrrole-based chalcones were designed and synthesized via Gloves the base-catalyzed Claisen-Schmidt condensation of 2-acetyl-1-methylpyrrole with 5-(aryl)furfural derivatives.The compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial effects on pathogenic bacteria and Ca
The mass movement process of the 2017 Xinmo catastrophic landslide was simulated using the discreet element method (DEM).Field investigation indicates that the basal entrainment is a typical feature of this landslide.Hence, the entrained colluvium on the sliding path is considered in the DEM model.According to the terrain elevation data before and
