A series of four drug release formulations based on 5-fluorouracil encapsulated into a chitosan-based matrix were prepared by in situ hydrogelation with 3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienal. The formulations were investigated from structural and morphological aspec ...
Context Urbanization is the most important form of landscape change and is increasingly affecting biodiversity and ecosystem functions. Understanding how landscape patterns change in space and time is central to the evaluation of the environmental impacts ...
The wave functions of a disordered two-dimensional electron gas at the quantum-critical Anderson transition are predicted to exhibit multifractal scaling in their real space amplitude. We experimentally investigate the appearance of these characteristics i ...
A method of analyzing human pulmonary X-rays using a few software procedures to process the images will be presented. Photographs of the lungs were investigated and images of the arteries were illustrated, successfully extracting the shadows due to the rib ...
Assessing building damage after earthquakes requires a visual inspection of the damage, indicated by maps of the cracking pattern on walls, which could be standardized via automated algorithms. To quantitate this damage, fractal dimensions of these crack m ...
A series of three formulations were prepared in view of experimental and theoretical investigation of their drug release potential. The morphology of the film formulations, in terms of distribution of drug into the polymeric matrix and the nature of the dr ...
We introduce the first passage set (FPS) of constant level -a of the two-dimensional continuum Gaussian free field (GFF) on finitely connected domains. Informally, it is the set of points in the domain that can be connected to the boundary by a path on whi ...
Two formulations embedding diclofenac sodium salt into a chitosan hydrogel matrix with different crosslinking degree were prepared by in situ hydrogelation. The formulations were investigated by polarized light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, ...
Both calculated quantities in the paper, fractal dimension and lacunarity respectively, prove high precision as foreteller to classify the glial cells tissue in various brain morphologies. The importance of microglia in neurodegenerative diseases and the i ...
