Lightweight cipher for H.264 videos in the Internet of Multimedia Things with encryption space ratio diagnostics
(MDPI, 2019-03-11)Within an Internet of Multimedia Things, the risk of disclosing streamed video content, such as that arising from video surveillance, is of heightened concern. This leads to the encryption of that content. To reduce the ... -
A framework for distributed cleaning of data streams.
(Elsevier, 2015)Vast and ever increasing quantities of data are produced by sensors in the Internet of Things (IoT). The quality of this data can be very variable due to problems with sensors, incorrect calibration etc. Data quality can ... -
Influence of annealing and biaxial expansion on the properties of Poly-l-lactic) medical tubing.
(MDPI, 2019-07-11)Poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) is one of the most common bioabsorbable materials in the medical device field. However, its use in load-bearing applications is limited due to its inferior mechanical properties when compared ... -
A new image encryption algorithm based on heterogeneous chaotic neural network generator and dna encoding.
(Springer, 2018-02)This paper presents a new combined neural network and chaos based pseudorandom sequence generator and a DNA-rules based chaotic encryption algorithm for secure transmission and storage of images. The proposed scheme uses ... -
The influence of low shear microbore extrusion on the properties of high molecular weight poly(l-lactic acid) for medical tubing applications.
(MDPI, 2019-04)Biodegradable polymers play a crucial role in the medical device field, with a broad range of applications such as suturing, drug delivery, tissue engineering, sca olding, orthopaedics, and fixation devices. Poly-l-lactic ... -
Nano-enhanced food contanct materials and the in vitro toxicity to human intestinal cells of nano-ZnO at low dose.
(IOP Science, 2011)Nano Zinc Oxide (nZnO) has been shown to display antimicrobial effects which have lead to its application in a number of areas such as antimicrobial surface coatings, anti bacterial wound dressings and more recently in ... -
Synthesis and characterisation of novel temperature and pH sensitive physically crosslinked poly(N-vinylcaprolactam-co-itaconic acid) hydrogels for drug delivery.
(MDPI, 2019-08-29)Previous studies involving poly N-vinylcaprolactam (PNVCL) and itaconic acid (IA) have synthesised the hydrogels with the presence of a solvent and a crosslinker, producing chemically crosslinked hydrogel systems. In this ... -
Vaginal drug delivery for the localised treatment of cervical cancer.
(Springer, 2017-06-08)Cervical cancer is usually treated by surgery, with the more advanced cancers requiring adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy. The location of the cervix makes it easily accessible through the vagina for the localised ... -
Faster release of lumen-loaded drugs than matrix-loaded equivalent in polylactic acid/halloysite nanotubes.
(MDPI, 2019-06-15)Nanocomposite-based drug delivery systems with intrinsic controlled release properties are of great interest in biomedical applications. We report a novel polylactic acid (PLA)/halloysite nanotube (HNT) nanocomposite-based ... -
Preparation of biodegradable poltyethylene glycol dimethacrylate hydrogels via thiol-ene chemistry.
(MDPI, 2019-08-13)Through the control of the molecular weight, water content and monomer concentration, polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate (PEGDMA) based hydrogels have been adapted for numerous applications, including as structural scaffolds, ... -
Platelet-rich plasma, Hydroxyapatite, and Chitosan in the bone and cartilaginous regeneration of femoral trochlea in rabbits: clinical, radiographic, and histomorphometric evaluations.
(Hindawi, 2018-06)The aim of this study was to evaluate the trochlear bone and cartilaginous regeneration of rabbits using the association of PRP, chitosan, and hydroxyapatite. Hole was made in rabbit troches, one hole in each animal ... -
A tough and novel dual-response PAA/P(NiPAAM-co-PEGDMA) IPN hydrogels with ceramics by photopolymerization for consolidation of bone fragments following fracture.
(IOP Science, 2019-07)In this work, a novel dual-response hydrogel for enhanced bone repair following multiple fractures was investigated. The conventional treatment of multiple bone fracture consists on removing smaller bone fragments from the ... -
