Soft Collagen-Gelatine Sponges by Convection Drying
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2015 This study showed that thermally labile fibrillar collagen could be processed continuously in combination with gelatine as foaming additive by convection drying. The procedure led to stable sponges with similar structural and physical properties as found

On the Dini-Hadamard subdifferential of the difference of two functions
, 2010 In this paper we first provide a general formula of inclusion for the Dini-Hadamard epsilon-subdifferential of the difference of two functions and show that it becomes equality in case the functions are directionally approximately starshaped at a given ...

Biogenetic Relationships of Bioactive Sponge Merotriterpenoids
Marine Drugs, 2017 Hydroquinone meroterpenoids, especially those derived from marine sponges, display a wide range of biological activities. However, use of these compounds is limited by their inaccessibility; there is no sustainable supply of these compounds. Furthermore,
