A tablet may be the best media device to use to spend time alone or enjoy a moment of solitude to release stress. The goal of this study is to examine how the desire for aloneness and leisure boredom play a role in influencing diverse activities when using the tablet and how these socio-psychological states, tablet activities, and location of tablet use may affect the perception of stress reduc...

This research focuses on the use of the Tablet PC in education. The research explores the development of the Tablet PC and introduces the Classroom Presenter software. Implementation efforts of both the Tablet PC and the Classroom Presenter software at Coastal Carolina University are explored. INTRODUCTION The Tablet PC is a portable computer with functional capabilities beyond those of a tradi...

Silk consists of two types of proteins, silk fibroin and sericin. Sericin contributes about 20-30 per cent of total cocoon weight. It is characterized by its high content of serine and 18 amino acids, including essential amino acids. There are different methods of isolation of sericin from silk thread. Solubility, molecular weight, and gelling properties of sericin depend on the method of isola...

The aim of this study was to prepare a new microsphere (fucosphere) system based on polyion complexation of fucoidan with chitosan, and to evaluate its treatment efficiency on dermal burns. The physicochemical properties such as mean particle size and distribution, zeta potential and bioadhesive properties of the microspheres were investigated. The formulation which had the high surface charge,...

The fibronectin fragment, 9th-10th-type III domains (FIII9-10), mediates cell attachment and spreading and is commonly investigated as a bioadhesive interface for implant materials such as titania (TiO2). How the extent of the cell attachment-spreading response is related to the nature of the adsorbed protein layer is largely unknown. Here, the layer thickness and surface fraction of two FIII9-...

Dopamine mimics the exceptional moisture-resistant adhesive properties of the amino acid, DOPA, found in adhesive proteins secreted by marine mussels. The catechol side chain of dopamine was functionalized with a nitro-group, and the effect of the electron withdrawing group modification on the cross-linking chemistry and bioadhesive properties of the adhesive moiety was evaluated. Both nitrodop...

SUMMARY Tablet is a lightweight, high-performance graphical viewer for next-generation sequence assemblies and alignments. Supporting a range of input assembly formats, Tablet provides high-quality visualizations showing data in packed or stacked views, allowing instant access and navigation to any region of interest, and whole contig overviews and data summaries. Tablet is both multi-core awar...

Encapsulation of chemotherapeutic agents within biodegradable nanoparticles (NP) allows for gradual drug release from the polylactic acid core. Bioadhesive, degradable NPs can be retained at site administration, maximizing local effects while minimizing systemic side effects. Our bioadhesive NP (BNP) loaded with chemotherapy have previously been proven efficacious in treatment murine PDVC57 squ...

Recently a tablet with LCD becomes thin, light, and inexpensive. In the near future, we will be able to have many tablets as the commonplace electrical appliances. We call it “Littery Augmented Papers” LAP – environment because the tablet can be seen as the computer-augmented paper. We have designed a usable and effective cross-tablet user interaction for LAP environment, which consists of (i) ...
