One crucial step in several image processing and computer vision applications is Image Contrast Enhancement (ICE), whose main objective to improve the quality of information contained processed images. Most proposed schemes attack problem by redistributing pixel intensities a histogram, leading undesirable effects such as noise amplification, over-saturation, lousy human perception. On other ha...

Emerging antibiotic resistance in pathogens has posed considerable challenges to explore and examine the natural antimicrobials (NAMs). Due labile nature of NAMs, nano-delivery systems (NDS) are required protect them from physiological degradation allow controlled delivery targeted site infection. In this study, corona modified NDS were developed using bovine serum albumin (BSA) on a chitosan c...

Based on the optimal proportion of resin and curing agent, an ultrahigh-temperature inorganic phosphate adhesive was prepared with aluminum dihydric phosphate, aluminium oxide ( α -Al₂O₃), etc. and cured at room temperature (RT). Then, nano-aluminum nitride (nano-AlN), nano-Cupric oxide (nano-CuO), and nano-titanium oxide (nano-TiO₂) were added into the adhesive. Differential scanning calorimet...

Photoacoustic imaging is an emerging modality that overcomes to a great extent the resolution and depth limitations of optical imaging while maintaining relatively high-contrast. However, since many diseases will not manifest an endogenous photoacoustic contrast, it is essential to develop exogenous photoacoustic contrast agents that can target diseased tissue(s). Here we present a novel photoa...

This study investigated ageing-resistant properties of carboxyl-terminated polyester (polyethylene glycol terephthalate) composites modified with nanoscale titanium dioxide particles (nano-TiO2). The nano-TiO2 was pretreated by a dry coating method, with aluminate coupling agent as a functional grafting additive. The agglomeration resistance was evaluated, which exhibited significant improvemen...
