This study aims to perceive […]

Oral cancer (OC) presents a global burden on society and the healthcare system with high incidence rates and poor prognosis. Despite the oral cavity being easily accessible for visual assessment, lesions are often detected at an advanced stage when the prognosis is poor and radical interventions are necessary. An invasive biopsy of a clinically suspicious […]

During the preclinical drug testing stage, conventional test subjects include animals and cells cultured in a lab, which are costly, and cannot correctly represent human tissue. Therefore, these test subjects may inaccurately predict human response to a drug and may falsely demonstrate a drug as “safe”. Upon public distribution, unexpected side effects may occur, which […]

Indoor air is contaminated by a variety of chemical and microbial contaminants. These contaminants can be effectively removed or inactivated using a process known as photocatalysis. In this method, a photocatalyst is chemically activated using ultraviolet (UV) radiation and readily degrade the contaminants when coming in contact with them. The application of newly emerged ultraviolet […]

This project enhances scholarly and public understandings of how technical scientific knowledge shapes legal outcomes, especially through the process of finding facts. Fact determination is an unregulated yet enormously consequential task for courts. Yet the law of evidence remains widely conceptualized as an essentially rule-bound domain, including in legal pedagogy. Meanwhile, despite judicial efforts at […]

A major mechanism for the spread of COVID 19 is inhalation of aerosols and droplets produced by an infected person.
