Amlexanox-loaded nanoliposomes showing enhanced anti-inflammatory activity in cultured macrophages: A potential formulation for treatment of oral aphthous stomatitis by Abouzid, Afaf

“…Notably, %TNF-α dramatically decreased to 57 ± 4.05% of control, for cells treated with drug-free liposomes (500 μg/mL total lipid) indicating the anti-inflammatory activity of SPC lipid component per se, which led to synergistic effect as evident from the augmentation of AMX anti-inflammatory activity in D-L1 formulation. …”

Roadmap toward energy-positive upfront nitrogen removal process in baseload LNG plant by Mkacher, Hajer

“…This work presents a pioneering approach for rigorous simulation of an actual cold section of an LNG plant and provides a potential process optimization to achieve a higher production rate (PR) while reducing the specific power consumption (SPC). The concept of upfront nitrogen removal (UNrem) from the natural gas (NG) feed was introduced, and the impact on the PR and SPC was presented. …”

Gaining or losing team ball possession: The dynamics of momentum perception and strategic choice in football coaches by Briki, Walid

“…Nonetheless, both variables displayed asymmetrical effects, in the sense that: (1) the strength of positive PM appeared to be easier to decrease than to increase; and (2) the greater the positive PM (or the negative PM), the lesser (or the greater) the coaches' tendency to make a change in the organization of their teams. …”
