Optimization of Cardiovascular Stent against Restenosis: Factorial Design-Based Statistical Analysis of Polymer Coating Conditions

PLoS ONE, 2012
The objective of this study was to optimize the physicodynamic conditions of polymeric system as a coating substrate for drug eluting stents against restenosis. As Nitric Oxide (NO) has multifunctional activities, such as regulating blood flow and pressure, and influencing thrombus formation, a continuous and spatiotemporal delivery of NO loaded in the

Systematic Study of PDMS Optical Waveguides for Pressure Sensing Using Design of Experiments

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
A response surface methodology was used to systematically evaluate the impact of mix ratio and cure conditions on PDMS optical waveguide properties for pressure sensing. Mix ratio significantly influenced compression sensitivity, compressive modulus, and propagation loss, while cure temperature primarily affected refractive index.

Modeling and parameter estimation for fractional large‐scale interconnected Hammerstein systems

Asian Journal of Control, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper addresses the challenge of modeling and identifying large‐scale interconnected systems exhibiting memory effects, hereditary properties, and non‐local interactions. We propose a fractional‐order extension of the Hammerstein architecture that incorporates Grünwald–Letnikov operators to capture complex dynamics through multiple ...

Parametric Optimization of a Cross-Beam Glulam Floor System Using Response Surface Methodology

Construction Materials
Cross-beam glued-laminated timber (glulam) floor systems offer material efficiency but pose a complex design challenge due to three-dimensional (3D) load interactions, and systematic optimization guidelines are lacking. This study implements a parametric

Sustainable recovery of a chitin–glucan complex–protein biocomposite from yeast biomass using biocompatible ionic liquids

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Chitin–glucan complex (CGC) is typically extracted from fungal or yeast biomass using harsh alkaline treatments that not only generate high‐salt, organic‐rich effluents, but also negatively impact the structural and functional properties of the recovered copolymer, while wasting the yeast protein fraction, which is discarded.

A green and optimized approach for lactic acid recovery from fermented molasses using n‐butanol for local industrial applications in Côte d’Ivoire

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Lactic acid is a valuable organic compound with wide applications in the pharmaceutical, food, and biodegradable plastics industries. As Côte d’Ivoire seeks to strengthen its industrial capacity and promote sustainable practices, the development of efficient and environmentally benign methods for the recovery and purification of lactic acid ...

Blood pressure effects of SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists: Mechanisms, trial evidence and Real‐world data

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists modestly lower blood pressure across diverse patient populations, including those without diabetes. These effects appear largely independent of glycaemic control and offer additive value in high‐risk patients with overlapping comorbidities.

Longitudinal links of negative student–teacher relationships and positive class climate with traditional bullying and cyberbullying perpetration

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The current study aimed to investigate whether negative student–teacher relationships and within‐class perceptions of the class climate at the individual level, and positive class climates at the classroom level in fifth grade, were associated with traditional bullying and cyberbullying perpetration 1 year later, in sixth grade, in a sample of

Distributive randomization: a pragmatic fractional factorial design to screen or evaluate multiple simultaneous interventions in a clinical trial

BMC Medical Research Methodology
Background In some medical indications, numerous interventions have a weak presumption of efficacy, but a good track record or presumption of safety. This makes it feasible to evaluate them simultaneously.
