Short-fiber reinforcement is a potent approach to improving the material properties of injection-molded parts. The main consideration in such reinforced materials is to preserve the fiber length, as this is the major influence on the properties of a given composite. The aim of this work was to investigate the different influencing parameters in injection molding processing on the properties of short carbon and glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene. We investigated parameters like melt temperature and back pressure, but also machine size and pre-heating regarding their influence on the tensile properties. We found that adjustments of melt temperature and back pressure only yield small improvements in the fiber length and the tensile properties, also depending on machine size, but a pre-heating step of the granules can significantly improve the properties.

We measure the high-intensity laser propagation throughout meter-scale, channel-guided laser-plasma accelerators by adjusting the length of the plasma channel on a shot-by-shot basis, showing high-quality guiding of 500 TW laser pulses over 30 cm in a hydrogen plasma of density n_{0}≈1×10^{17} cm^{-3}. We observed transverse energy transport of higher-order modes in the first ≈12 cm of the plasma channel, followed by quasimatched propagation, and the gradual, dark-current-free depletion of laser energy to the wake. We quantify the laser-to-wake transfer efficiency limitations of currently available petawatt-class lasers and demonstrate via simulation how control over the laser mode can significantly improve beam parameters.

Background: Tavaborole (TAV), a benzoxaborole derivative, is an FDA-approved antifungal agent for treating onychomycosis, a common and persistent fungal infection of the toenails.
Objective: This study aimed to develop a robust stability-indicating HPTLC method to determine TAV in nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) using a comprehensive approach that includes risk assessment, and Analytical Quality by Design.
Methods: The critical method parameters influencing the HPTLC results were screened using a Placket-Burman screening design followed by its optimization using a central composite optimization design.

Background: Our studies suggest that iron-overloaded rats developed neurotoxicity and cognitive impairment (1,2). An increase in brain mitochondrial fission and brain mitophagy have been considered as one of underlying mechanisms in brain with iron-overloaded condition (3,4). Hence, a pharmacological intervention focused on preventing brain mitochondrial pathologies is required.

Background: Microglia play an important role in immune memory. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) triggers immune memory and primes microglia, resulting in brain pathologies and brain dysfunction following a second stimulus (1, 2). An increase in the C1q/ PSD95 expressions within microglia and excessively synaptic pruning were observed in mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (3).

Background: Sporadic Alzheimer's disease (sAD) is the most common form of dementia, characterized by a progressive decline in cognitive function and, cortical and hippocampal atrophy. Our objective is to develop neuroprotective therapies that promote the homeostatic and modulatory properties of astrocytes, and enhance their protective functions. Glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) has emerged as a promising factor for its ability to promote neuronal survival and function.
