BIOTECHNOLOGY AND BIOMATERIAL-BASED THERAPEUTIC STRATEGIES FOR AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION. PART II: CELL AND TISSUE ENGINEERING THERAPIES

Biotechnology and Biomaterial-Based Therapeutic Strategies for Age-Related Macular Degeneration. Part II: Cell and Tissue Engineering Therapies

Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is an up-to-date untreatable chronic neurodegenerative eye disease of multifactorial origin, and the main causes of blindness in over 65 y.o.people.It is characterized by a slow progression and the presence of a multitude of factors, highlighting those related to diet, genetic heritage and environmental condit

Joint Conditional Random Field Filter for Multi-Object Tracking

Object tracking can improve the performance of mobile robot especially in populated dynamic FALL FLORAL environments.A novel joint conditional random field Filter (JCRFF) based on conditional random field with hierarchical structure is proposed for multi-object tracking by abstracting the data associations between objects and measurements to be a s

Effects of Polymer Matrices and Carbon Nanotubes on the Generation of Electric Energy in a Microbial Fuel Cell

The anode of a microbial fuel cell (MFC) was formed on a graphite electrode and immobilized Gluconobacter oxydans VKM-1280 bacterial cells.Immobilization was performed in chitosan, poly(vinyl alcohol) or N-vinylpyrrolidone-modified poly(vinyl alcohol).Ethanol was used as substrate.The anode was modified using multiwalled carbon nanotubes.The aim of
