Estimation of fractal representation of wind speed fluctuation by artificial neural network with different training algorothms
(Elsevier, 2017)
Since the wind speed fluctuation could cause large instability in wind energy systems it is crucial to develop a method for precise estimation of the wind speed fluctuation. Fractal interpolation of the wind speed could ...
Chapter 11 – Polymeric micro- and nanoparticles for controlled and targeted drug delivery
(Elsevier, 2017)
Nanotechnology has great potential in the field of medicine and pharmacy because nano objects have comparable dimensions to biological entities. Polymer-based particles play an integral role as vehicles in the controlled ...
The effect of the androstane lung cancer inhibitor content on the cell-selective toxicity of hydroxyapatite-chitosan-PLGA nanocomposites
(Elsevier, 2018)
An androstane (17β-hydroxy-17α-picolyl-androst-5-en-3β-yl-acetate (derivative A)) cancer inhibitor was successfully captured in a carrier made of nano-sized hydroxyapatite (HAp) coated with chitosan-PLGA polymer blends ...
Chitosan oligosaccharide lactate coated hydroxyapatite nanoparticles as a vehicle for the delivery of steroid drugs and the targeting of breast cancer cells
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018)
Low targeting efficiency and fast metabolism of antineoplastic drugs are hindrances to effective chemotherapies and there is an ongoing search for better drugs, but also better carriers. Steroid derivatives, 3β-hydroxy-1 ...
Effects of mechanical-activation and TiO2 addition on the behavior of two-step sintered steatite ceramics
(Elsevier, 2019)
Steatite, as ceramic with composition predominantly resting on magnesium silicate, was produced from economic resources – talc, aluminosilicate clays, and either BaCO3 or feldspar as flux. Titanium dioxide was a doping ...
Aerosol-assisted processing of hierarchically organised TiO2 nanoparticles
(Bucks, UK : INDERSCIENCE Publishers, 2015)
Hierarchically assembled TiO2 nanoparticles into larger spherical ones were obtained using aerosol-assisted processing method. Unagglomerated particles with the mean size of 440 nm were obtained from colloidal solution of ...
Properties of 3Y-TZP zirconia ceramics with graphene addition obtained by spark plasma sintering
(Elsevier, 2018)
In this study the influence of graphene addition on the microstructure, phase composition, mechanical, and electrical properties of 3Y-TZP ceramics was investigated. Blends of pure 3Y-TZP and with addition of 1 − 4 vol% ...
Enhanced sorption of Cu2+ from sulfate solutions onto modified electric arc furnace slag
(Elsevier, 2019)
Pristine electric arc furnace slag (EAFS) as well as EAFS modified by alkali activation i.e. alkali activated slag (AAS) have found a novel application as adsorbents used in Cu2+ removal from sulfate solutions. The adsorption ...
Multifunctional hydroxyapatite and poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) nanoparticles for the local delivery of cholecalciferol
(Materials Science and Engineering: C, 2013)
Cholecalciferol, vitamin D3, plays an important role in bone metabolism by regulating extracellular levels of calcium. Presented here is a study on the effects of the local delivery of cholecalciferol (D3) using nanoparticulate ...
Designing, fabrication and characterization of nanostructured functionally graded HAp/BCP ceramics
(Elsevier, 2015)
Nanostructured calcium phosphate functionally graded materials (FGMs) with simultaneous gradients of density, phase composition, and mechanical properties were fabricated by consecutive uniaxial pressing of stoichiometric ...
