The feather is a complex epidermal organ with hierarchical branches and represents a multi-layered
topological transformation of keratinocyte sheets. Feathers are made in feather …

A new and efficient steganographic method for embedding secret messages into a gray-valued
cover image is proposed. In the process of embedding a secret message, a cover image …

A method was developed to prepare thermosensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm)
hydrogels with an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) structure for the purpose of …

A hydrogel sheet composed of chitosan, honey and gelatin (HS; 0.5:20:20, w/w) was
developed as a burn wound dressing. HS showed powerful antibacterial efficacy up to 100% to …

An in situ polymerization was conducted in the presence of expanded graphite obtained by
rapid heating of the graphite intercalation compound (GIC) to form a polymer/expanded …

Plasma glucose and insulin responses to a glucose challenge and insulin-stimulated glucose
uptake were measured in 24 age-, weight-, and sex-matched Chinese men (8 with normal …

We study an M/G/1 queue with multiple vacations and exhaustive service discipline such that
the server works with different service times rather than completely stopping service during …

The development of advanced materials whose physical properties can be switched by
external perturbations, such as temperature, light, and pressure, has recently been attracting …

Efficient biological nitrogen removal from pharmaceutical wastewater has been focused
recently. The present study dealt with the treatment of colistin sulfate and kitasamycin …

In situ polymerization of styrene was conducted in the presence of expanded graphite
obtained by rapid heating of a graphite intercalation compound (GIC), to form a polystyrene–…
