Construction of a MOF‐Based Snap‐Top Delivery Nanosystem for Powerful Dual‐Responsive Synergistic Colitis Treatment

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A snap‐top delivery nanosystem based on an azobenzene metal–organic framework achieves targeted release of 6‐mercaptopurine via acid‐stable frameworks and hypoxia/pH dual‐responsive β‐cyclodextrin gates. This multifunctional platform integrates three synergistic mechanisms: precision drug delivery to inflammatory sites, intrinsic antioxidant properties

Opportunistic Maintenance and Optimisation Considering External Opportunities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
This thesis proposed a novel Opportunistic Maintenance policy where uncertain and uncontrollable maintenance opportunities and the benefits may arrive from sources external to a production system. Optimisation models were developed and analysed for both time- and condition-based approaches with the impact of using short-term forecasts of external ...
