Imagining post-fossil tourism mobilities with Norwegian tourists by Hopkins, D, Landa-Mata, I, Kr Steen Jacobsen, J, Farstad, E, Higham, J

“…Sustainable mobility has become a catch-all term to describe forms, modes, policies and practices of mobility that are thought to have a lower environmental footprint and/or fewer social exclusions than the contemporary mobility system which is reliant on fossil fuels and private ownership. …”

Soft and flexible bioelectronic micro-systems for electronically controlled drug delivery by Mariello, M, Eş, I, Proctor, CM

“…The concept of targeted and controlled drug delivery, which directs treatment to precise anatomical sites, offers benefits such as fewer side effects, reduced toxicity, optimized dosages, and quicker responses. …”

Efficacy of Wolbachia-mediated sterility to reduce the incidence of dengue: a synthetic control study in Singapore by Lim, Jue Tao, Bansal, Somya, Chong, Chee Seng, Dickens, Borame, Ng, Youming, Deng, Lu, Lee, Caleb, Tan, Li Yun, Chain, Grace, Ma, Pei, Sim, Shuzhen, Tan, Cheong Huat, Cook, Alex R., Ng, Lee Ching

“…Background: Due to the absence of available therapeutics and good vaccines, vector control solutions are needed to mitigate the spread of dengue. Matings between male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes infected with the wAlbB strain of Wolbachia and wildtype females yield non-viable eggs. …”

Efficient rate-distortion optimization techniques for H.264 by Yu, Hongtao

“…To solve the perceptual bit allocation problem in H.264, we propose a Lagrangian multiplier update algorithm in mode decision. The Lagrangian multiplier update algorithm decides the macroblock coding mode according to the perceptual characteristics of video contents, so that more bits are allocated to pixels which are perceptually more important and fewer bits are allocated to pixels which are perceptually less important.…”

Inhibition of endoplasmic reticulum stress using 4-phenyl butyrate mitigates osteoporosis in a mouse model of hindlimb suspension by Al-Daghestani, Hiba Saad Subhi

“…We aimed to investigate the impact of ER stress on OP, and the effect of 4-PBA, as an ER stress inhibitor in the HLS mouse with OP. 21 male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into three groups namely: ground-based controls, untreated HLS group, and HLS treated with 4-PBA via intra-peritoneal injections at 100mg/kg/d for 21 days. …”

Evaporation and crystallisation of saline droplet with surfactant on smooth surfaces by Wong, Dennis Kin Wai

“…It is interesting to note that at CTAB concentrations of 0.04 mM and 0.2 mM, fewer crystals were observed on the ITO glass substrate compared to the silicon wafer substrate. …”

Cytotoxicity and mechanisms of action of Zerumbone-loaded nanostructured lipid carrier in triple negative breast cancer cells, MDA-MB-231 by Hosseinpour, Mahnaz

“…Therefore, scientists are applying new techniques and strategies, including the use of natural products in drug discovery for enhanced survival rates with fewer side effects. Zerumbone (ZER), a monocyclic, sesquiterpene crystalline compound, was isolated from a ginger herb, Zingiber zerumbet (L.) …”
