Water-stable plasma-polymerized N,N-dimethylacrylamide coatings to control cellular adhesion [PDF]
The plasma polymerization of amide-based precursors is a nearly unexplored research area, which is in contrast with the abundance of reports focusing on amide based surface modification using wet chemistry.

Toxic metal enrichment and boating intensity: sediment records of antifoulant copper in shallow lakes of eastern England [PDF]
Tributyltin (TBT), an aqueous biocide derived from antifouling paint pollution, is known to have impacted coastal marine ecosystems, and has been reported in the sediment of the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads, a network of rivers and shallow lakes in eastern

Fate of Irgarol 1051, diuron and their main metabolites in two UK marine systems after restrictions in antifouling paints [PDF]
Two major antifouling biocides used worldwide, Irgarol 1051 and diuron, and their degradation products in Shoreham Harbour and Brighton Marina, UK were studied during 2003-2004.

Rapid toxicity assessment of six antifouling booster biocides using a microplate-based chlorophyll fluorescence in Undaria pinnatifida gametophytes [PDF]
Biocides of antifouling agents can cause problems in marine ecosystems by damaging to non-target algal species. Aquatic bioassays are important means of assessing the quality of water containing mixtures of contaminants and of providing a safety standard

Model selection and model averaging on mortality of upper gastrointestinal bleed patients [PDF]
Model Selection (MS) is known to produce uncertainty into model-building process. Besides that, the process of MS is complex and time consuming. Therefore, Model Averaging (MA) had been proposed as an alternative to overcome the issues.

Enhancement in performance and self-cleaning properties of PES membrane surface tailored by modified TiO2 [PDF]
In this study, the polyethersulfone (PES) membranes were established by surface modification using C, N codoped-TiO2/WO3 (LTW) photocatalytic nanocomposite to amelioration of the membrane performance in terms of antifouling and self-cleaning properties ...
