Smart healthcare is a healthcare delivery method that utilizes wearable devices, the internet of things, and the mobile internet to dynamically access information, connect people, materials, and institutions in the healthcare industry, and then intelligently monitor and respond to the medical ecosystem requirements. The concept of smart healthcare has progressively gained traction as information technology advances like Te Read More

Background: Lipid nanocarriers (NLCs) have undergone significant research over the past two decades to determine how well they target drugs to important parts of the human body, such as the central nervous system (CNS), the heart region, tumor cells, etc. Objective: The objective of this review paper was to review and critically summarize recent progress in NLC for targeting CNS. Methods: The structure, classification, el Read More

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is considered one of the key technologies for realizing Industry 4.0. There are numerous stages in the end-to-end AM process, including component design, material design, build, and so on. An enormous amount of data is generated along the end-to-end AM process that can be acquired from the 3D printer in real-time, micro-characterization studies, and process plan details, among others. F Read More

Background: The thermal time constant is the core parameter for determining the dynamic response of the electrothermal actuators and the corresponding maximum operational frequency. Aim: Since it is necessary to determine how the thermal actuation occurs within the cantilever, this paper presents two models for the thermal time constant of bimetal microcantilevers. One model is based on the bimetallic effect, and t Read More

Background: Heterostructures with nanoscale sizes have great superiorities in photocatalytic environment decontaminant because of their efficient interface charge transfer and great surface area. Objective: This work reports the facile fabrication of nano-tubular TiO2 and Si-doped TiO2 (NTs) hybridizing SnS nanocrystallites and their high-efficient photocatalytic activity. Methods: The modified hydrothermal processes were use Read More

Aim: Construction of electrochromic device via Prussian yellow nanofilm on glass electrode. Background: Energy conservation is one of the primary research topics nowadays. Electrochromic devices with low power consumption and short stable switching periods are well suited to energyefficient applications, e.g., smart windows, car mirrors, displays, and electronic papers. Objective: Preparation of electrochromic Prussian yellow Read More

Background: Atleast once in life everyone experience different kinds of dermal diseases and the conventional dosage forms having a high rate of side effects. The discussed method is a better and alternative approach in case of patients’ compliance and sustained drug release. Objective: The objectives of this study are to prepare solid dispersion for enhancement of solubility of roxithromycin, encapsulation of solid dispersion i Read More

Background: Metal surface modification of the photocatalysts is effective for enhancing the photocatalytic properties of the semiconductor photocatalysts. Nd can be used as the modified metal for the enhancement of catalytic performance of the strontium tin hydroxide (SrSn(OH)6) nanorods due to expanding the light absorption range and reducing the recombination of the photo-generated electrons and holes. Obje Read More

Background: Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) nanoindentation is the principal method for the characterization of soft materials at the nanoscale. In most cases, pyramidal tips are used and approximated to perfect cones. However, the extended use of the AFM tip may alter its sharpness. Objective: In many cases, a truncated cone shape is appropriate for tip modeling. In this technical note, the equation that relates the for Read More
