Extended Abstract The microneedle mediated drug delivery system has been developed to provide painless self-administration of highpotency drug with patient friendly manner [1]. Especially, dissolving microneedles, which deliver the target drugs as the drug-loaded microneedle dissolves into the skin, have been spotlighted recently [2]. Conventional dissolving microneedles have been mostly produc...

Commercial bamboo chips were evaluated as raw material for dissolving pulp production. The chips were auto-hydrolyzed (AH) and subsequently cooked by the NaOH/AQ process and bleached to full brightness with the O-CCE-D-(EP)-D-P sequence. The term CCE designates a cold caustic extraction stage. The bamboo chip chemistry (22.4% lignin, 19.5% xylans, 49.3% cellulose, 16.8% total extractives, and 1...

OBJECTIVES The aim was to evaluate the shelf life and the dissolving and antibacterial properties of a neutralized 2.5% NaOCl solution. STUDY DESIGN The loss of available chlorine and the pH of the neutralized 2.5% NaOCl solution were recorded to determine its shelf life. The dissolving action on bovine dental pulp was assessed measuring weight loss, pH variation, and decrease in available ch...

I study a market where agents with unit demand jointly own heterogeneous goods. In this market, the existence of an efficient, incentive compatible, individually rational, and budget balanced mechanism depends on the shares of the agents. I characterize the set of shares for which having such a mechanism is possible. This set includes the symmetric allocation and excludes the allocation in whic...

In this paper we present our approach to dissolving the learning boundaries that make it hard for IT students to adopt learn about user-focussed design and development. Traditional approaches to IT teaching minimise collaboration and reuse, favouring inflexible, sequential, heavyweight development methods that view user value as having secondary importance at best. In contrast, we use a studio-...
