Smart nanomicelles with bacterial infection-responsive disassembly for selective antimicrobial applications by Pranantyo, Dicky, Kang, En-Tang, Chan-Park, Mary B.

“…The β-carboxylic amide of CS-PLL-CA is pH-labile and self-cleavable under pH 6 or below. When we mixed the cationic (CS-PLL) and anionic (CS-PLL-CA) peptidosaccharide copolymers, they self-assembled, due to electrostatic charge interactions, into nanomicelles (NMs) with the oppositely charged peptides in the core and the chitosan polysaccharide arms on the shell. …”

Experimental and numerical studies of S960 ultra-high strength steel welded I-section columns by Su, Andi, Liang, Yating, Zhao, Ou

“…The assessment results indicated that the design buckling curves in both the European code and Australian standard yield rather conservative resistance predictions when used for S960 ultra-high strength steel welded I-section columns failing by minor-axis flexural buckling, while the design buckling curve in American specification results in overall accurate and consistent flexural buckling resistance predictions, though the predicted resistances are marginally conservative for those relatively short S960 ultra-high strength steel welded I-section columns with member non-dimensional slendernesses from 0.6 to 1.0. …”
