(Elsevier, 2007-09)Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) is a water-soluble, biocompatible and biodegradable polymer, which has been widely applied in biomedical fields. In this paper, novel physically cross-linked hydrogels composed of PVA and comprising ... -
Oriented polymeric sheets exhibiting dichroism and articles containing the same.
(2007-12-20)Provided is an oriented polymeric sheet comprising a photochromic-dichroic material, wherein the sheet exhibits dichroism in an activated state. Also provided is a multilayer composite comprising at least a support layer ... -
An analysis of alterations to the SCTP RTO calculation mechanism for WLAN environments
(Springer, 2008-01)As a connection oriented transport layer protocol the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) inherits many of the features of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) including the mechanism by which Retransmission ... -
Synthesis of linear aliphatic polycarbonate macroglycols using dimethylcarbonate.
(Wiley, 2009-01-05)A series of linear aliphatic polycarbonate polyols were synthesized using dimethylcarbonate and a linear alkane diol or specific combinations of linear alkane diols. Polyol synthesis was carried out in a two‐stage process ... -
SVS - a secure scheme for video streaming using SRTP AES and DH.
(Euro Journals, 2010)Video streaming technologies are becoming immensely important with the growth of the multimedia technology. With streaming, the end user can start watching the file almost as soon as it begins downloading. Security becomes ... -
A comparison of two novel pulsed power eletrotechnologies for the inactivation of Cryptosporidium spp. and other problematical microorganisms in drinking water.
(IMiEJS, 2011)The waterborne parasite Cryptosporidium represents a significant threat to public health due to its resistance to conventional chlorination. This novel multidisciplinary study investigated the development of pulsed ... -
Nano-enhanced food contanct materials and the in vitro toxicity to human intestinal cells of nano-ZnO at low dose.
