Defensins constitute a major class of cationic antimicrobial peptides in mammals and vertebrates,
acting as effectors of innate immunity against infectious microorganisms. It is generally …

Amoxicillin mucoadhesive microspheres (Amo-ad-ms) were prepared using ethylcellulose (Ec)
as matrix and carbopol 934P as mucoadhesive polymer for the potential use of treating …

Power-law profiles at the edges of beams and plates have proved to be a very efficient way
to attenuate vibrations. In an ideal scenario, for a profile with zero end thickness, the energy …

Human defensins are a family of small antimicrobial proteins found predominantly in leukocytes
and epithelial cells that play important roles in the innate and adaptive immune defense …

The acoustic black hole (ABH) effect can be achieved embedding cuneate indentations with
power-law profile in plates. That results in remarkable properties like the reduction of plate …

This study proposes an effective trajectory planning algorithm based on the quartic Bézier
curve and dangerous potential field for automatic vehicles. To generate collision‐free …

The Acoustic Black Hole (ABH) effect is the phenomenon in which the wave velocity gradually
decreases to zero when the bending wave propagates in wedge-like structures, such that …

Defensins are cationic antimicrobial mini-proteins that play important roles in the innate
immune defense against microbial infection. Six invariant Cys residues in each defensin form …

This paper proposes a novel motion planning and tracking framework based on improved
artificial potential fields (APFs) and a lane change strategy to enhance the performance of the …

PURPOSE: Chlorhexidine (CHX), a chemical antiseptic, is known to bind to dentin and has
been shown to be effective in treating bacterial infections caused by microbes. The solubility …
