BACKGROUND: The release of antibiotics into aquatic environments has made the treatment of wastewater
containing antibiotics a world-wide public health problem. The ability of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) to harvest
electricity from organic waste and renewable biomass is attracting increased interest in wastewater treatment.
In this paper we investigated the...
PURPOSE: The in vitro inhibitory effect of Docetaxel (DTX) and Everolimus (EVR) alone and together in
poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(D,L-lactic acid) (PEG-b-PLA) nanocarriers on angiogenic
processes and acute toxicity in mice was evaluated.
METHODS: PEG-b-PLA DTX and/or EVR nanocarriers were characterized for size, drug loading, stability,
and drug release. Cell proliferation, tubule...
Capturing the spatial distribution of high-intensity rainfall over short-time intervals is critical for accurately assessing the efficacy of urban stormwater drainage systems. In a stochastic simulation framework, one method of generating realistic rainfall fields is by multiplicative random cascade (MRC) models. Estimation of MRC model parameters has typically relied on...
