This research analyses firms' strategic choice of adopting an abatement technology in environment with pollution externalities when the government levies emission tax to incentivise firms undertake emission-reducing actions. A set different Nash equilibria – ranging from dirty green production arises both quantity-setting and price-setting duopolies. Results show that if societal awareness towa...

Objective. To study the feasibility of a standard nasopharyngeal airway tube (NPAT) as treatment for snoring. Methods. An obese 35-year-old man, who is a chronic, heroic snorer, used NPATs while (1) the patient's bedpartner scored the snoring and (2) the patient recorded himself with the smartphone snoring app "Quit Snoring." Baseline snoring was 8-10/10 (10 = snoring that could be heard throug...

Alginate-based microcapsules are being proposed for treatment of many types of diseases. A major obstacle however in the successes is that these capsules are having large lab-to-lab variations. To make the process more reproducible, we propose to cover the surface of alginate capsules with diblock polymers that can form polymer brushes. In the present study, we describe the stepwise considerati...

Rhizophora mucronata merupakan tumbuhan mangrove yang banyak tersebar dipinggir pantai. R. memiliki metabolit sekunder dapat dijadikan sebagai bahan pestisida alami. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui fraksi dari daun bersifat larvasida terhadap larva nyamuk Aedes aegypti, LC50 aktif mucronata, perbandingan aktivitas dengan abate, dan senyawa diamati secara kualitatif terdapat pada aktif...

Irrigated agriculture has always been relevant to the Aragonese society. The major expansion of irrigation took place during the XX century to promote economic growth and to improve farmers’ social conditions in rural Spain. At present, maintaining irrigation in Aragon is still important because agriculture is linked to a strong agribusiness sector, and because irrigation contributes to avoid d...

Polymeric multilayer capsules have emerged as a novel drug delivery platform. These capsules are fabricated through layer-by-layer sequential deposition of polymers onto a sacrificial core template followed by the decomposition of this core yielding hollow capsules. The resulting nanometer thin membrane is permselective, allowing diffusion of water and ions but excluding larger molecules. Moreo...

Ultra thin multilayer capsules are attractive and stable systems capable of delivering the bioactives. Ultra thin multilayer capsules consist of polyelectrolytic materials that are formed in the presence of a template. This is achieved through layer-by-layer adsorption of oppositely charged macromolecules on to colloidal particles. Upon extraction, the resulting cavities retain affi nity for th...
