Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been investigated extensively in the past twenty years as a sensitizing agent in photon radiotherapy. Targeted delivery of AuNPs to specific sites in cells and tissues contributes to highl...

Platinum nanoflowers (Pt NFs) composed of an ordered assembly of nanoparticles were synthesized by an ethanol reduction of [PtCl6]2– under a reflux condition (85 °C) at pH 2.5 in the presence of PVP (molecular weight ...

Low nano-SiO2 loaded nylon 6 (PA6) nanocomposites were readily produced via in situ polymerization. The effect of surface-modified functional groups of nano-SiO2 on the interfacial structure and properties of nylon 6/SiO...

A simple and effective method for the preparation of platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) grown on amino-func‐ tionalized halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) was developed. The nanostructures were synthesized through the func‐ ti...

ABSTRACT Background: Climate change and widespread environmental degradation have increased the risk of natural hazards in recent decades. Hydrological, meteorological, and climatological disasters have become more frequ...

Abstract Background Adequate housing is a basic human right. The many millions of people experiencing homelessness (PEH) have a lower life expectancy and more physical and mental health problems. Practical and effective ...

This Campbell systematic review assesses the effectiveness of home‐based child development interventions in improving children's developmental outcomes. The review summarises findings from seven studies. Two of the stu...

Abstract Background Lack of access to and use of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) cause 1.6 million deaths every year, of which 1.2 million are due to gastrointestinal illnesses like diarrhoea and acute respiratory i...

Abstract Background Involving men and boys as both users and supporters of Family Planning (FP) is now considered essential for optimising maternal and child health outcomes. Evidence on how to engage men and boys to mee...

The design of metamaterials, which are artificial materials that can offer unique electromagnetic properties, is based on the excitation of strong resonant modes. Unfortunately, material absorption—mainly due to their ...

Abstract Background Micro‐, small‐, and medium‐sized enterprises (MSMEs) account for the vast majority of firms in most economies, particularly in developing nations, and are key contributors to job creation and gl...

Abstract Despite the demonstrated effectiveness of vaccines, varying levels of hesitancy were observed among healthcare and long‐term care workers, who were prioritized in the roll out of COVID‐19 vaccines due to the...

Abstract This is the protocol for a Campbell review. The review aims to systematically collect, appraise, map and synthesise the evidence from systematic reviews on the differential gender impacts of social protection pr...

Abstract The research question guiding the production of the youth employment evidence and gap map (EGM) is stated as follows: What is the nature and extent of the evidence base of impact evaluations and systematic revie...

Abstract This is the protocol for a Campbell systematic review. The main objective of the review is to answer the following research question: What is the effect of performance pay on employee health?

Abstract Despite progress in several dimensions of the global HIV response, there seems to be a significant gender and age disparity. Numerous organizations consider it a top priority to accelerate HIV prevention program...

Abstract Respiratory tract infections and diarrhoea are the two biggest killers of children in low income contexts. They are closely related to access to, and use of improved water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH). However...

Abstract This is the protocol for a Campbell systematic review. The objectives are as follows. The objective of this review is to identify and synthesize empirical research on the impacts of interest‐holder engagement ...

Abstract This is the protocol for a Campbell systematic review. The objectives are as follows. This review aims to investigate the effectiveness of all types of teacher‐delivered classroom‐based strategy instruction ...

Nitrogen-doped carbon nanocoils (CNCs) with adjusted morphologies were synthesized in a one-step catalytic chemical vapour deposition (CVD) process using acetoni‐ trile as the carbon and nitrogen source. The nickel iro...

This Campbell systematic review assesses the effectiveness of school‐based decision‐making. The review summarises findings from 17 impact studies and nine studies of barriers and enablers. School‐based decision‐m...
