Synthesis of lead selenide (PbSe) quantum dots for photovoltaic applications by Yang, Shuai

“…PbSeO3 phase was present in X-ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns that suggested the PbSe had low stability due to lack of capping agent. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) results confirmed that the particle size increased with increasing water to surfactant ratio, and UV-vis NIR Absorption Spectra of the PbSe quantum dots showed a red shift also with increasing water to surfactant ratio, the corresponding band gap was more than 1eV, which was larger than that of bulk PbSe.…”

On-Demand Bioadhesive Dendrimers with Reduced Cytotoxicity by Gao, Feng, Djordjevic, Ivan, Pokholenko, Oleksandr, Zhang, Haobo, Zhang, Junying, Steele, Terry W. J.

“…In vitro toxicity is reduced by an order of magnitude upon amine capping while retaining bioadhesive properties. The in vivo immunological response to PAMAM-g-diazirine formulations was found to be optimal in comparison to standard poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) thin films.…”

An iGlu receptor antagonist and its simultaneous use with an anticancer drug for cancer therapy by Luo, Zhong, Li, Peizhou, Tan, Si Yu, Ang, Chung Yen, Nguyen, Kim Truc, Zhao, Yanli

“…Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) were employed as the delivery vehicle for both L1 and Dox by conjugating the iGlu receptor antagonist on the surface and encapsulating Dox within the mesopores. Dox was then trapped within the mesopores by functionalizing a redox-cleavable capping group on the MSNP surface, and it could be released upon exposure to the reductive glutathione. …”

Adjustable wind selectivity in shearwaters implies knowledge of the foraging landscape by Harris, S, Bishop, C, Bond, S, Fernandes, P, Guilford, T, Lewin, P, Padget, O, Robins, P, Schneider, W, Waggitt, J, Wilmes, S, Cordes, L

“…By first uncovering the relationships between wind and the flapping effort put into flight, we show that shearwaters, while generally wind selective, adjust their wind selectivity, apparently balancing flight costs against the benefits of travel toward known targets. …”

Techno-economic feasibility of biogas renewable energy plant: A case of Malaysian Palm Oil Mill. by Nitamakwuavan, S., Abd. Rahim, N.

“…By using the multi-criteria analysis method, the closed tank system is identified as the most practical biogas trapping system. The economic analysis with 10.56% internal rate of return, payback time at 8.3 years, and net present value of RM 12,187,432.00 show that the biogas renewable energy plant is economically viable. …”
