Modulation of drug permeation through interpolymer complexed hydrogels for drug delivery applications
TLDR
In this article, the authors showed that PEG copolymers exhibit pH-sensitive, reversible complexation and showed that network collapse (complexation) occurred more rapidly than network expansion (decomplexation).About:

A 2dvEv- bit distributed algorithm for the directed Euler trail problem
Wen-Huei Chen,Chuan Yi Tang +1 more
TL;DR: The algorithm can be used as a building block for solving other distributed graph problems, and can be slightly modified to run on a strongly-connected diagraph for generating the existent Euler trail or to report that no Euler trails exist.
