purpose. To test the hypothesis that coated microneedles can deliver drugs into the eye via
intrascleral and intracorneal routes in a minimally invasive manner. methods. Solid metal …

Purpose This study tested the hypothesis that hollow microneedles can infuse solutions
containing soluble molecules, nanoparticles, and microparticles into sclera in a minimally …

Background. Antibiotic administration to individuals with Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia
coli (STEC) infection remains controversial. We assessed if antibiotic administration to …

This paper proposes an adaptive control for vehicle active suspensions with unknown
nonlinearities (eg, nonlinear springs and piecewise dampers). A prescribed performance function …

Ozonation can degrade toxic naphthenic acids (NAs) in oil sands process-affected water (OSPW),
but even after extensive treatment a residual NA fraction remains. Here we …

This paper investigates the possibility of improving the performance of railway vehicle
suspensions by incorporating a newly developed mechanical device known as the inerter. A …

This paper investigates the use of a two‐terminal vibration suppression device in a building.
The use of inerter‐spring‐damper configurations for a multi‐storey building structure is …

This paper describes how an inerter-based device for structural vibration suppression can be
realized using an electromagnetic transducer such as a linear motor. When the motor shaft …

In this paper, the use of a tuned inerter damper (TID) as a vibration absorber is studied
numerically and experimentally, with civil engineering applications in mind. Inerters complete the …

Inerter is the mechanical dual of the capacitor via the force-current analogy. It has the property
that the force across the terminals is proportional to their relative acceleration. Compared …
