The ability to control the timing and order of release of different therapeutic drugs will play a pivotal role in improving patient care and simplifying treatment regimes in the clinic. The controlled sequential release of a broad range of small and macromolecules from thin film coatings offers a simple way to provide complex localized dosing in vivo. Here we show that it is possible to take ad...

due to environmental risks generated by application of non-degradable and synthetic films, many researches have shown increasing tendency to edible coatings for storing food such as fruits and vegetables. whey protein is considered one of the most common sources of edible coatings and its use has been studied in the current research. in this paper, the simultaneous effect of coating with whey p...

We connect two key concepts in quantum information: compatibility and divisibility of channels. Two channels are compatible if they can be both obtained via marginalization from a third channel. A channel divides another it reproduces its action by sequential composition with (In)compatibility is central importance for studying the difference between classical dynamics. The relevance stands clo...

This paper provides information about biodegradability of biodegradable/degradable materials advertised as 100%-degradable or certified as compostable in a municipal solid-waste landfill. It describes a 12month experiment with five samples that took place in a landfill. The results, demonstrated that the polyethylene sample with the additive (samples 1) and sample labelled as 100% degradable (s...
