Human Robot Interaction (HRI) is a multidisciplinary field which involves developing, perceiving and assessing robotic systems. To ensure the effectiveness in communication, the understanding of emotions and intentions is essential. In the development of an emotionally intelligent robot, the issues on how to perceive human affective states and how

Fibrinolytic enzymes were widely used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. However, the efficiency of the commercial enzymes are still lack of perfection because there are many side effects as well as not tolerant to downstream processing such as heat sensitive during spray drying process. Therefore, this study presents newly isolated therm

INTRODUCTION Microsponges are porous microspheres, which can be used as a polymeric delivery system to deliver active pharmaceutical ingredient such as resiquimod in a controlled release manner. The objectives of this study were to encapsulate and characterize resiquimod in the microsponges. MATERIALS AND METHODS 100mg of ethylcellulose and 1mg of

INTRODUCTION Nowadays, shea butter can be often used in the cosmetic products in which it may impart moisturizing effects on the skin. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of cosmetic formulations containing shea butter, by using the hydration and elasticity probes of DermaLab Combo. MATERIALS AND METHODS The cosmetic formulations conta

INTRODUCTION Piper betle are commonly used as traditional plant remedy.
