Piezoresistive pressure sensors are becoming increasingly popular for their applications in human motion detection, wearable electronics, health monitoring, and man–machine interfaces. Sensors with superior sensitivity and a broad range of sensing are desirable for practical implementation. To achieve those, a low-cost, scalable and simple fabrication technique of dip coating Ti

“…Several viruses have the potential to attack the central nervous system and adjacent tissues, even if this is somewhat unusual [ 114 , 115 , 116 , 117 ]. Herpes simplex, Epstein-Barr, varicella zoster, cytomegalovirus, and influenza viruses are a few examples of potential sources.…”
Among the most critical health issues, brain illnesses, such as neurodegenerative conditions and tumors, lower quality of life and have a significant economic impact. Implantable technology and nano-drug carriers have enormous promise for cerebral brain activity sensing and regulated therapeutic application in the treatment and detection of brain illnesses. Flexible materials are chosen for implantable devices because they help reduce biomechanical mismatch between the implanted device and brain tissue. Additionally, implanted biodegradable devices might lessen any autoimmune negative effects. The onerous subsequent operation for removing the implanted device is further lessened with biodegradability. This review expands on current developments in diagnostic technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, mass spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, angiography, and electroencephalogram while providing an overview of prevalent brain diseases. As far as we are aware, there hasn’t been a single review article that addresses all the prevalent brain illnesses. The reviewer also looks into the prospects for the future and offers suggestions for the direction of future developments in the treatment of brain diseases.
“…Moreover, it is estimated that by 2050, plastic in the ocean will outweigh fish (Brindha et al 2021 ; Ramasubramanian et al 2022c ). In order to rapidly achieve a circular economy within the framework of the waste management hierarchy, extended producer responsibility (EPR) is regarded as an effective means of mitigating the negative environmental impacts associated with post-consumer waste by promoting reduced packaging usage and the development of more reusable packaging options (Lorang et al 2022 ) (Pandey et al 2022 ; Subbaiyan et al 2022 ; Ragupathy et al 2022 ). Approximately 400 EPR systems are operating worldwide, most of which are located in European union (EU) member states wherein trash regulation offers general rules for their use.…”
Extended producer responsibility (EPR) initiatives have shown success in enhancing the independent collection of plastic waste, but the existing recycling industry framework poses challenges to achieving optimal recyclability levels. For addressing this issue, various legislative strategies, including non-profit EPR, door-to-door collection systems, and deposit refund schemes (DRS), have been implemented in some countries such as the UK and Germany. As plastic waste management responsibility is shared between consumers and producers in Europe, with consumers generating 40% of plastic waste and producers being responsible for the remaining 60%, this review examines the impact of EPR and DRS programs on consumer and producer behaviors. The article also explores the potential for circularity and sustainability of recycling technologies, including their challenges and limitations. The significance of this study lies in its examination of the impact of EPR and DRS programs on consumer and producer behaviors, providing insight into sustainable practices that promote waste minimization and foster the adoption of recycling methods. Ultimately, the review recommends quick action in four crucial areas, including standardization, infrastructure investment, partnership models, and the production of higher-value recycled materials, all of which require supply chain collaboration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
