One biomimetic approach to surface passivation involves a series Cakes of surface coatings based on the slick surfaces of carnivorous pitcher plants (Nepenthes), termed slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS).This study introduces a simplified method to produce SLIPS using a polydopamine (PDA) anchor layer, inspired by mussel adhesion.SLIPS
Background: Bright IDEAS (BI) problem-solving skills training is an evidence-based intervention designed to help parents manage the demands of caring for a child with cancer.However, the resource intensiveness of this in-person intervention has limited its widespread delivery.We conducted a multicenter, randomized trial with a noninferiority design
Changes in higher education frequently involve the need for more flexibility in course design and delivery.Flexibility is a concept that can be operationalized in many ways.One approach to conceptualizing flexibility within courses is to distinguish planning-type flexibility, which the instructor can designate before the course begins and which nee
This research investigated the development of biodegradable bioplastic as STAY VIBRANT KIT a possible replacement for petroleum-based plastics, which constitute a serious environmental hazard.These hazards include but are not limited to flooding resulting from blocked sewage and danger to aquatic life in marine environments.The solution casting met
Diversity in use of Question and Answering (Q/A) is evolving as a popular application in the area of Natural Language Processing (NLP).The alive unsupervised word embedding approaches are efficient to collect Latent-Semantic data on number of tasks.But certain methods are still unable to tackle issues such as polysemous-unaware with task-unaware ph
