Decellularization of sonication system efficiency is dictated by evaluation of host immune response on scaffolds. This aim of this study is to examine the inflammatory response after implantation of bioscaffolds decellularized by sonication treatment at 35 days postsurgery in rats. In this study, aortic tissues decellularized by sonication treatmen

Poor aqueous solubility of drugs results in poor absorption and bioavailability. The objective of solid dispersion technology is to increase the dissolution properties of highly lipophilic drugs, by using different hydrophilic carriers thereby improving their bioavailability. This technology is useful for enhancing the dissolution, absorption and t

We analyze the influence of electron irradiation on the electroluminescence spectra of white light emitting diodes (LEDs) based on indium gallium nitride. Three different irradiation fluences, 9.90×1015 , 1.32×1016 and 1.98×1016 cm-2 , are studied. For all 27 samples of LEDs of the commercially available models VAOL-5GWY4, VAOL-10GWY4 and OVL-33

The traditional houses in Ghardaia City in Algeria had been built using traditional construction materials and passive solar design (PSD) strategies for the hot desert climate. These thousand-year-old houses are still standing and conditioning the harsh desert climate while maintaining indoor thermal comfort for its occupants. Of late, two trends o

The IIUM Library Classification System for Knowledge Resources on Islam (ICSI) plays a transformative role in bridging the cataloguing gap between academic training and industry practices, particularly for Arabic and Islamic collections. This article presents the integration of ICSI within the LISC 7021 (Arabic Cataloguing) course, highlighting how
