The aim of this study was to develop a novel multifunctional nanoparticle, which encapsulates SPION and Gemcitabine in PLGA±PEG to form multifunctional drug delivery system. For this aim, super paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) were synthesized and encapsulated simultaneously with Gemcitabine (Gem) in PLGA±PEG copolymers via W/O/W double emulsification method. Optimum size and enca...

Swelling of grains due to water absorption is ubiquitous in many natural materials and industrial products. Hence, a thorough understanding grain swelling great scientific importance. An experimental investigation can only provide limited information, whereas insight could be gained from numerical modelling, rigorous models for describing particle are essential. Thus, the objective this study d...

increasing the efficiency of water use is one of the main topics of sustainable agriculture in arid and semi-arid. the use of some materials such as superabsorbent polymers increase water storage in the soil and thus reduce the water use. increase water storage in the soil to reduce the effects of drought and saline soil. in order to evaluate the effect of super absorbent polymer on survival an...

Poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) is an environment-friendly super absorbent polymer that can be used as a soil conditioner, which promising to improve crop productivity and cope with degradation. The objectives of this study are the effects γ-PGA on physicochemical properties winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Xinong 975) production in arid region Northwest China. According mass ratio soil, exp...

A 1-D coordination polymer, constructed using a combination of diols and phenolic oximes, contains a novel [Mn(9)] sub-unit, a nanosized [Mn(40)] octagonal super-structure and a [Mn(21)] repeating unit.

AIM The aim of this paper is to report a study to determine the effects of absorbent pads on the pressure-relieving properties of 'standard' and pressure management mattresses. BACKGROUND Pressure ulcers and incontinence often co-exist. There is a strong association between poor mobility and continence problems and patients using pressure management products are therefore also likely to be us...

in order to investigate the effects of different irrigation regimes and zeolit on the yield, yield componentsand relative leaf water content of sorghum, a field experiment was conducted in split plot in time andspace based on randomized complete block design with three replicates in research station of shahidbahonar university of kerman in 2011. irrigation regimes (100, 80, 60 and 40% of field ...

in order to investigate effect of organic manure and super absorbent on physiological and biochemical traits of potato (solanum tubersum, cv marfona), a split plot experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with three replications at research farm, agriculture college, university of razi in 2010. main factor included two levels of super absorbent a200 (0 and 70 kg/ha,) and spl...
