Ionotropic Gelation Synthesis of Chitosan-Alginate Nanodisks for Delivery System and In Vitro Assessment of Prostate Cancer Cytotoxicity by David Patiño-Ruiz, Leandro Marrugo, Niradiz Reyes, María Acevedo-Morantes, Adriana Herrera

“…Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images provided direct evidence of the morphology of the nanodisks where agglomeration was observed due to the electrostatic interaction between the functional groups. Furthermore, dynamic light scattering (DLS) showed that the hydrodynamic size of the Cs-Al NDs was 227 nm and 152 nm in pH 1.2 and pH 7.4, respectively, which is in agreement with the information observed in the SEM images. …”

Empirical exploration of the 4P theory of creativity using virtual reality by Chiara Lucifora, Claudia Scorolli, Aldo Gangemi

“…Our findings suggest an intricate network of components, with significant correlations for 5 out of 6 relations. Our findings are in line with previous research about the relation between Person and Process, between Person and Press, and between Process and Product, and show novel insights about the relation between Person and Product and between Press and Process.We have applied our novel method to the original 4P foundational domains, demonstrating its utility to lay a research ground to formally (via ontological distinctions) and empirically (based on explicit and implicit measures) compare creativity theories that extend 4P components, possibly addressing cognitive abilities, expertise and impact levels, error functionalization, creativity dynamics, etc.…”
