Hydrogels Augmented With Artificial Sweeteners can Inhibit Multidrug‐Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Growth and Biofilm Formation While Demonstrating Safety in Pre‐Clinical Pilot Human Trials

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Using PVA–borax hydrogels as carriers for off‐the‐shelf artificial sweeteners to fight multidrug‐resistant A. baumannii. These soft, biocompatible hydrogels rapidly reduce bacterial viability within multidrug‐resistant A. baumannii biofilms by more than 99% within one hour and sustain antimicrobial activity over time, while demonstrating safety in both

Opportunistic maintenance scheduling with stochastic opportunities duration in a predictive maintenance strategy

IFAC-PapersOnLine, 2018
To guarantee a good level of facilities performance (reliability and availability), maintenance activities have to be planned and scheduled efficiently. Maintenance scheduling decides, in a tactical way, when theses maintenance activities will be carried out according to the appearance of opportunities.
