There is an ever-growing trend to pursue policies based on evidence-based and data-driven program evaluation research.In order to facilitate such evaluation research, electronic dashboards are increasingly used for translating sources of big and unstructured data into low-level summary visualizations understandable by layman policy-makers.In this p
Experimental Investigation on Evaporator Surface Modification for Hydrophobicity and Frost Resistance
Frost accumulated on the surface of the evaporator leads to the increase of heat transfer resistance between the refrigerant and environmental medium, which reduces the system performance of cold storage and air source heat pump.To solve this problem, the surface-modified evaporator can achieve retardation of the frost formation, which greatly impr
In Vitro Evaluation of a Peptide-Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticle Drug Release System against HIV-1
It has been shown that the optimized VIR-576 derivative of the natural HIV-1 entry inhibitor targeting the viral gp41 fusion peptide is safe and effective in infected individuals.However, high doses of this peptide were required, and stability, as well as delivery, must be improved for clinical application.Here, we examined the loading and release
