(MDPI, 2024-04-05)
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused an increase in knowledge in certain fields such as human breathing and respiratory diseases. In the current study, enclosed-space characteristics were assessed due to the great ...
Design of Three Electric Vehicle Charging Tariff Systems to Improve Photovoltaic Self-Consumption
(MDPI, 2024-04-09)
Electric vehicles (EVs) are emerging as one of the pillars for achieving climate neutrality. They represent both a threat and an opportunity for the operation of the network. Used as flexible loads, they can favor the ...
Physicochemical Characterization and In Vitro Activity of Poly(ε-Caprolactone)/Mycophenolic Acid Amorphous Solid Dispersions
(MDPI, 2024-04-13)
The obtention of amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) of mycophenolic acid (MPA) in poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) is reported in this paper. An improvement in the bioavailability of the drug is possible thanks to the favorable ...
Progress in the Use of Hydrogels for Antioxidant Delivery in Skin Wounds
(MDPI, 2024-04-10)
