Recent advances and challenges in temperature monitoring and control in microfluidic devices. [PDF]
Abstract Temperature is a critical—yet sometimes overlooked—parameter in microfluidics. Microfluidic devices can experience heating inside their channels during operation due to underlying physicochemical phenomena occurring therein. Such heating, whether required or not, must be monitored to ensure adequate device operation.

The effects of addition of functional monomers and molecular imprinting on dual drug release from intraocular lens material [PDF]
Although cataract surgery is considered a safe procedure, post-surgery complications such as endophthalmitis and ocular inflammation, may occur. To prevent this, antibiotics and anti-inflammatories are prescribed in the form of eye drops during the post ...
