Effect of Polymer Crosslinking on Drug Release Kinetics
Abstract: In order to improve treatment effectiveness and minimise adverse effects, polymer-based drug delivery systems are often used to produce regulated and sustained drug release. Polymer crosslinking, which alters the structural, mechanical, and degrading characteristics of the polymer matrix, is one of the key elements affecting drug release kinetics. The porosity, swelling behaviour, and rate of degradation of the polymer are all impacted by the crosslinking process, which may be accomplished …

A Study on Security Requirements of IOT
Abstract: In terms of speed, internet technologies have surpassed traditional technologies. Although the Internet's explosive growth has allowed it to reach its full potential, there are several security dangers associated with it. Many consumer-grade IoT devices are not designed with robust authentication protocols, making them easy targets for hackers. To address this, stronger multi-factor authentication (MFA) methods and certificate-based authentication should be implemented to ensure that only legitimate devices gain access …

Targeting PTPN22 in Arthritis: Molecular Docking and Pharmacokinetic Evaluation of Artemisia vestita Compounds
Abstract: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a long-term autoimmune condition characterized by inflammation of the synovial membrane, commonly resulting in swelling, pain, stiffness, and overall fatigue. Protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22 (PTPN22) has been identified as a risk factor linked to various autoimmune diseases, including RA. In the PTPN22 gene, two missense Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with autoimmune conditions. The R620W (C1858T, rs247660) variant in exon 14 has been …

A Review on Sustainable Utilization of Dimensional Stone Waste as Construction Material
Abstract: The non-biodegradable nature of stone waste enhances the worldwide problem of disposal. A lack of land for waste landfills, increased transportation costs, and other related problems have compelled industries to look for alternative solutions. Depletion of natural resources has also been brought about by the construction industry's excessive use of resources like cement, river sand, and natural aggregates. As a result, the demand for sustainable and commercially feasible alternatives is …
