Abstract: Due to their ability to swell/deswell under alternating pH conditions, pH-sensitive hydrogels present themselves as a potential candidate for controlled drug delivery. In this paper, a coupled electro-chemo-mechanical transient large deformation homogeneous and inhomogeneous swelling… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Habitat alterations in agroecosystems may damage amphibian immune capacity. As agroecosystem extension is increasing worldwide, broader-context knowledge on the effects of agroecosystem stressful conditions on amphibian immune capacity is crucial for understanding and management… read more here.

Abstract: The effects of age on performance of life-history traits are diverse, but a common outcome is senescence, an irreversible deterioration of physical and physiological capabilities of older individuals. Immune response is potentially bound to senescence.… read more here.
