Exploring the Diversity of Field Strains of Brucella abortus Biovar 3 Isolated in West Africa
Brucellosis is one of Buffets the most widespread bacterial zoonotic diseases in the world, affecting both humans and domestic and wild animals.Identification and biotyping of field strains of Brucella are of key importance for a better knowledge of the epidemiology of brucellosis, for identifying appropriate antigens, for managing disease outbreak
Smartcrystals for Efficient Dissolution of Poorly Water-Soluble Meloxicam
Nanocrystal is widely applied to improve the dissolution of poorly water-soluble drugs.We aimed to prepare meloxicam (MLX) nanocrystals using the bead mill method, followed by high-pressure homogenization (HPH).Simple drying at room temperature (RD), vacuum-drying (VD), and freeze-drying (FD) using mannitol or trehalose as a cryoprotectant Heatsink
A Multistate Friction Model for the Compensation of the Asymmetric Hysteresis in the Mechanical Response of Pneumatic Artificial Muscles
These days, biomimetic and compliant actuators have been made available to the main applications of rehabilitation and assistive robotics.In this context, the interaction control of soft robots, mechatronic surgical instruments and robotic prostheses can be improved through the adoption of pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs), a class of compliant K
