Comparative Delivery of 1,8-Cineole and Eucalyptus Oil Using Chitosan Nanoparticles and PVA Nanofibers: A Polymeric Nanotechnology Toolbox for Antibacterial, Wound-Healing, and Ant... by Shetta, Amro AbdelAzeem

“…To address this gap, this thesis investigates a two-level comparative design, (i) a single defined molecule, 1,8-cineole (CIN), versus a compositionally diverse eucalyptus oil (EU), and (ii) one-barrier delivery (direct loading into a polymer matrix) versus a two-barrier architecture (NP-in-NF dual encapsulation) intended to strengthen retention and control diffusion at the biological interface. Chitosan nanoparticles (CS NPs) directly loaded electrospun poly(vinyl alcohol) nanofibers (PVA NFs), and NP-in-NF composite nanofibers (PVA–CS NFs containing bioactive-loaded CS NPs) were formulated and optimized using Box–Behnken designs at both the nanoparticle and electrospinning levels. …”

Circuit tutor : a computer-aided learning package for electrical engineering by Potgieter, L

“…The programmer must not only model the circuit behaviour, but also write the man-machine interface (MMI). The main goal of Circuit Tutor was to provide a ready-made simulation environment which makes effective use of the graphics capabilities of the microcomputer for the simulation of a whole class of electrical circuit simulations. …”

Intellectual property rights and competition policy: patent rights, access to life-saving drugs in developing and least-developed countries under the TRIPS Agreement and the future... by Brucker, Johanna

“…Since the Doha Declaration was adopted in 2001, only a few countries have made use of the flexibilities under TRIPS. This study examines the use of TRIPS flexibilities for the access on essential drugs in developing and least-developed countries and sets out the impact of the Doha Declaration of 2001 and the Amendment to TRIPS of 2005 on the TRIPS Agreement. …”
