In a biomimetic top-down process, challenging the problem of resin deposition on woodworking machine tools, an adequate biological model was sought, which hypothetically could have developed evolutionary anti-adhesive strategies.The honeybee (Apis mellifera) was identified as an analogue model since it collects and processes propolis, which largely
Nature organisms, after billions of years of evolution, have evolved elegant morphologies, structures, patterns, or surface wettabilities with unique functionalities.Among all the intriguing characteristics observed in nature organisms, their drag reduction abilities here with low energy consumption have always attracted wide attentions of human be
Octavia E.Butler’s Kindred highlights complexities beyond those related to a tale of time-travel and a painful slave narrative.It allows us to reimagine definitions of “race memory” and “trauma” along the lines of genetic ancestry that is explored through the real and numinous lives of Dana and Kevin from the Maryland of the 1770s to 1976
Abstract Background Vulnerable social groups have greater difficulty in accessing care and a lower quality of care.Health systems focused on primary care appear to be more effective, efficient and equitable.However, difficulties in accessing primary care are persisting.We focused on primary care screening for cervical cancer through Cervico-Uterine
The quality control of drug products during manufacturing processes is important, particularly the presence of different polymorphic forms in active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) during production, which could affect the performance of the formulated products.The objective of this study was to investigate the phase transformation of fexofenadin
