Composite hydrogels from carrageenan-cl-carboxymethyl chitosan–PVA incorporated ZiF-8 as dressing material for wound healing applications by Tooba Yasin (19131382)

“…The biocompatibility of the composite hydrogels has been evaluated using fibroblast cell lines (<i>3T3</i>) after different time intervals (24–72 h), and it was found that increasing ZiF-8 caused the mature and spread cell morphology with increasing cell viability and proliferation under controlled in vitro conditions. …”

Why do some countries produce more capital intensive output than others? by Toukan, Amjad

“…Based on my model I offer an explanation for the variation in physical capital intensity across countries where the model predictions show that a lower quality of governance in a country results in a decrease in the output of capital-intensive goods and an increase in the output of labor-intensive goods. …”
