The document discusses using polymers as nanomaterials for biomedical applications. It describes synthesizing multifunctional nanoparticles with a polyethylene glycol shell and reactive internal groups. The nanoparticles can be functionalized with targeting ligands on the surface and therapeutics internally. Radiolabeled nanoparticles showed long blood circulation times and accumulation in tumors, demonstrating their potential for drug delivery and imaging applications.
The fabrication of stimuli-responsive, multifunctional proteins comprised of self-assembling domains capable of forming defined nanometre scale structures has tremendous application in drug delivery. This coupled to inorganic material like Gold nanoparticles (GNP’s) can facilitate external triggers controlling binding and release of embedded agents within the self-assembling materials. This renders smart biomaterial suitable for drug delivery.

Electrocatalytic Evaluation in Methanol Oxidation Process of PtCo Nanoparticl...David Macias Ferrer
The high reactivity of methanol with platinum and the excellent catalytic activity for electro-oxidation of methanol on pure Pt especially at low temperature (below 80°C), makes this metal a suitable anodic electrocatalyst in DMFC [1]. However, it is well known that there is a series of technical problems in DMFC that limit their marketing [2]. While Pt, which is generally supported on activated carbon with large surface area such as Vulcan XC-72, is the best catalyst for the electro-oxidation of methanol, it rapidly becomes poisoned because of the intermediate species formed during the oxidation of methanol, mainly CO, since CO molecules can be chemically adsorbed on the surface of Pt and block the active sites, producing a poor kinetic of anodic methanol oxidation due to CO poisoning and a low electrocatalytic activity of electrocatalysts [3-5]. Although electrocatalysts based on Pt and Pt-Ru alloy have shown a good catalytic activity for electro-oxidation of methanol, another of the limitations in the development of DMFC for commercial applications is the high cost of both noble metals [6-7]. In this study, we report a nanocasting method of low cost to prepare NC using SBA-15 as hard template and purified sugar as carbon precursor; the inclusion of Co as a second metal, in order to reduce the amount of platinum and measure its catalytic activity in methanol oxidation process

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

Merit and Drawbacks of InPhase Technology
Advantages + High sensitivity
+ High storage capacity
Disadvantages
- Shrinkage of the material due to monomer diffusion image distortion
- Polymerization inhibition due to oxygen and other inhibitors
- Need of pre-exposure to remove inhibitors dynamic range reduction
- Phase separation if the resulting polymer is not compatible with the matrix
material low archival-life
- low thermal stability of the material low shelf-life
