AN IMPROVED DEADLOCK RECOVERY POLICY OF FLEXIBLE MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS BASED ON RESOURCE FLOW GRAPHS


Evaluation of a steroid delivery system to mitigate the severity of proliferative vitreoretinopathy in a minipig model

PurposeTo investigate the efficacy of liposomal prednisolone phosphate to mitigate the severity of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) in a minipig model of PVR.MethodsA total of 18 eyes of 9 minipigs underwent PVR induction surgically.Eyes were randomized equally into three groups: intravitreal injection of liposomal prednisolone phosphate (LPP)

Physical and biological determinants of collective behavioural dynamics in complex systems: pulling chain formation in the nest-weaving ant Oecophylla smaragdina.

The evolution of nest weaving, the inclusion of larval silk in the nest walls, is considered one of the pinnacles of cooperative behaviour in social insects.Within the four ant genera in which this has evolved, Oecophylla are unique in being the only group that precedes the deposition of larval silk by actively manipulating the here leaf substrate
