Glass serves as the solid support for a variety of array types; however, the chemical nature of glass makes it unsuitable for high-affinity binding to most biomolecules. In this chapter, we describe the activation and surface coating of glass with silane, a wide-ranging group of molecules that can covalently attach to the surface of glass and modify it with a variety of functional groups.

Dealing with radioactive waste, particularly from various industrial processes, poses significant challenges. This paper explores the use of lithium aluminate borate (Li-Al-B) glass matrix as an alternative method for immobilizing radioactive waste, focusing specifically on waste generated in tin smelting industries, known as tin slag. The study primarily concentrates on transforming tin slag, a byproduct abundant in Natural Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM), into a stable and safe form for disposal.

The rise and spread of ancient Indian Ocean Rim (IOR) trade networks profoundly impacted southern Africa. Control over this trade played a critical role in the rise and maintenance of complex societies of the second millennium CE such as Mapungubwe and Great Zimbabwe. While the African origins of this trade lie in the first millennium CE, understanding its earliest phases and subsequent development in the far south has been hampered by a general paucity of research.

The aging population necessitates a critical need for medical devices, where polymers-based surface lubrication coating is essential for optimal functionality. In fact, lubrication and mechanical requirements vary depending on the service environment of different medical devices. Until now, key mean is still blank for general preparation of hydrophilic polymers-based lubrication coatings with on-demand mechanics and lubricity.

Background And Objectives: Nurses' documentation of communication, including notification of critical laboratory results (CLR), is important to ensure safe, high-quality care. Evidence supports peer audit with feedback as a quality improvement (QI) intervention to improve documentation. Nursing compliance with CLR documentation requirements was below goal for several years in an intensive care unit.
