A different problem is that of preserving access privacy for users accessing a large database over the Internet in a model where the adversary has full control of the ...

We describe a novel search engine for scientific literature. The system allows for sentence-level search starting from portable document format (PDF) files, and integrates text and image search, thus facilitating the retrieval of information present in tables and figures. It allows the user to generate in an intuitive manner complex queries for search terms that are related through particular g...

The goal of metasearch systems is to facilitate access for researchers—both novice and expert users—to the ever-growing number of scholarly electronic resources. Researchers today are typically Web-savvy and have high expectations regarding ease of access to information for their research needs. Facing the variety and complexity of the interfaces provided by information providers, researchers o...

Three-dimensional (3D) skin bioprinting is an emerging technology that can deposit customised biomaterials with or without desired cell types (i.e. bioinks) in 3D constructs, mimicking the skin. This study aimed to analyse granted patents for bioinks intended from 2017 2022. The were searched international patent databases [WIPO, Google Patent, European Patent Office] using keywords [‘Skin Bioi...
