Immunomodulatory zinc-based materials for tissue regeneration.

Zinc(Zn)-based materials have contributed greatly to the rapid advancements in tissue engineering. The qualities they possess that make them so beneficial include their excellent biodegradability, biocompatibility, anti-bacterial activity, among and several others. Biomedical materials that act as a foreign body, will inevitably cause host immune response when introduced to the human body.

Administration methods of lipid-based nanoparticle delivery systems for cancer treatment.

As nano medications have developed in the recent four decades, nano-delivery systems have been applied in treating various diseases and are especially common in cancer treatment. Nano-delivery systems could target cancer-associated cells, enhance the accuracy and efficacy of treatment, and reduce systemic side effects. Among the many drugs on nano-carriers, the load system of lipid-based nanoparticles has the brightest prospect due to the high level of biocompatibility, biodegradability, loading capability, and immunogenicity.

A Topology Control with Energy Balance in Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks for IoT-Based Application.

As part of the IoT-based application, underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSN), which are typically self-organized heterogeneous wireless network, are one of the research hot-spots using various sensors in marine exploration and water environment monitoring application fields, recently. Due to the serious attenuation of radio in water, acoustic or hybrid communication is a usual way for transmitting information among nodes, which dissipates much more energy to prevent the network failure and guarantee the quality of service (QoS). To address this issue, a topology control with energy balance, namely TCEB, is proposed for UWSN to overcome time-delay and other interference, as well as make the entire network load balance.

Liberal Entity Extraction: Rapid Construction of Fine-Grained Entity Typing Systems.

The ability of automatically recognizing and typing entities in natural language without prior knowledge (e.g., predefined entity types) is a major challenge in processing such data.
