The objective of this current research is to model the experimental data on the effectiveness of an incentive-based weight reduction method by using Bayesian hierarchical growth models. Three Bayesian hierarchical growth models are proposed, namely parametric Bayesian hierarchical growth model with correlated intercept and slope random effects mode

Utilizing high-performance cellulose nanopapers as 2D-reinforcement for polymers allows for realizing high-loading-fraction (80 vol-%), high-performance (strength > 150 MPa, modulus > 10 GPa) laminated nanopaper reinforced epoxy composites. Such cellulose nanopapers are inherently dense, which renders them difficult to be impregnated with t

Background: The primary cause of cancer is gene mutation which allows the growth of abnormal and damaged cells. Nutrition is one of the key factors that either increases or decreases the risk of cancer. Mannose has been found in many fruits such as oranges, apples and berries.
