Flächenbedarf

description: In dieser Studie wurde der Landverbrauch von Photovoltaik-Freiflächenanlagen in der Betriebsphase in fünf am dichtesten bebauten Regionen in der Europäischen Union untersucht. Darüber hinaus wurde der Anteil an der Gesamtfläche der jeweiligen Region bestimmt. Insgesamt wurden 1380 PV-Freiflächenanlagen mittels einer Geoinformationssystem- Software kartiert. Der regionale Gesamtflächenanteil beträgt 0,14 % in Südmähren (CZ), 0,15 % in Niederbayern (DE) bzw. 0,21 % westlich des Bayrischen Waldes, 0,26 % in der Grafschaft Cornwall (UK), 0,51 % in der Region Lecce (IT) und 0,56 % in der Gemeinde Abdera (GR). Die durchschnittliche umzäunte Fläche einer PV-Anlage (Medianwert) beträgt 2,4 Hektar in der Provinz Lecce, 1,9 Hektar in Niederbayern und 0,7 Hektar in der Gemeinde Abdera. In Niederbayern sind 51 % der PV-Freiflächenanlagen mit einem Flächenanteil von 34 % der Gesamtanlagenfläche neben Bahn- und Autobahntrassen installiert. Um eine überregionale nachhaltige Energie- und Raumplanung zu unterstützen, sollten Energietechnik, Raumplanung und Technikfolgenabschätzung interdisziplinär zusammengeführt werden. Aus Sicht einer effizienten Flächennutzung ist die Wahl der Modultechnologie der höchsten Effizienzklasse empfohlen. Standorte für PVFreiflächenanlagen sollten sich auf bereits versiegelte Flächen, Altlasten, entlang von Autobahnen oder ähnlichen Orten beschränken, um landwirtschaftlich nutzbaren Boden zu schützen.

description: Cette étude met l’accent sur le comportement mécanique des murs en bois remplis par du béton du chanvre sous un chargement latéral. Une étude expérimentale de grande échelle des murs en bois a été menée afin de déterminer leurs résistances latérales globales, et également de quantifier l’impact du béton végétal de remplissage sur la capacité portante des murs en bois. Les éléments diagonaux sous compression et les éléments verticaux ont été employés dans les murs en bois pour investiguer les effets de la rigidité globale du système sur la résistance latérale des murs comportant du béton végétal. La technique de corrélation d'image numérique (DIC) a été utilisée afin de déterminer la déformation de cisaillement induite dans le matériau de remplissage. En se basant sur les résultats des essais expérimentaux, cette étude confirme d’abord que le panneau en bois (système de moindre rigidité) permet de montrer la faible part de la contribution du matériau de remplissage (béton de chanvre). Par contre, le mur en bois avec la diagonale de contreventement n’a pas montré la contribution du matériau de remplissage à cause de la grande rigidité du système global. Finalement, on met en évidence que le rapport largeur-hauteur du mur en bois a une influence importante dans la contribution du chanvre à la résistance du mur.

description: L’Inde valorise actuellement les cendres volantes de centrales thermiques en les intégrant dans des briques de cendres comprimées stabilisées au ciment à hauteur de 5%. Leur impact environnemental est donc non-négligeable. Une stabilisation par activation alcaline est une alternative pertinente dans ce domaine. La stabilisation des briques a donc été faite avec un ajout de plusieurs taux de solution alcaline et différentes températures de cure. Les matériaux obtenus ont été comparés avec des briques de cendres volantes comprimées stabilisées au ciment. L’ajout de solution alcaline permet d’augmenter les performances mécaniques des briques. Sa teneur doit cependant rester supérieure à 2,5% afin de garantir les performances mécaniques requises. Celles-ci sont atteintes dès 7 jours et peuvent être obtenues à plus court termes en jouant sur la température de cure. Leur tenue à l’eau est légèrement meilleure qu’avec une stabilisation à base de ciment. Leur développement pourrait donc concurrencer l’utilisation des briques de cendres volantes stabilisées au ciment.

Lithium halide structural chemistry : computational analysis with machine learning, quantum chemistry, and molecular dynamics
Creators: name: Scheiber, Hayden Owen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: The lithium halide salts may at first appear to be simple chemical systems. However, previous research indicates lithium halides have complex and poorly understood crystallization pathways from aqueous solutions. While lithium halides exist in the rocksalt crystal structure under ambient conditions, common lithium halide classical force fields more often predict wurtzite as the stable structure. This failure severely limits their application in molecular simulations of crystallization. Research in this thesis focuses on presenting new results and computational methodology to better understand the structural chemistry of both lithium halides and alkali halides in general. Density functional theory together with classical force fields are employed to examine the relative stability of candidate crystal structures for lithium halides and produce accurate theoretical reference data. Dispersion interactions are shown to play a key role in the stability of rocksalt over closely competing crystal structures. Classical models can be corrected in their structural predictions by scaling up the strength of dispersion, indicating a pathway towards better lithium halide force fields. Convolutional neural networks are used for the structural classification of simulated alkali halides. The neural networks are trained on a large data set generated from molecular dynamics simulations of alkali halides across a range of temperatures. Time convolution filters out short-lived structural fluctuations. The structure classifiers are shown to be accurate in bulk phase simulations, then demonstrated on crystallization of model alkali halide systems from the melt. The neural network classifiers are implemented in a melting point calculation algorithm for model binary salts. Finite size effects are characterized, then melting points of alkali halides using common rigid-ion interaction potentials are calculated and discussed. The methods developed throughout the research are employed for the optimization of pairwise lithium halide force fields, fitted to reference data using a reinforcement learning approach, Bayesian optimization. Limitations on the Coulomb Lennard-Jones potential form are uncovered, which do not appear to hold for the more flexible Coulomb Buckingham potential form. By introducing advanced computational methodology, this research reveals the inherent structural complexity of lithium halides and emphasizes the importance of considering structural landscapes during classical forcefields construction for molecular simulation.

description: Cette étude porte sur la transposition industrielle de la production de panneaux rigides isolants réalisés à partir de chènevotte de chanvre. Les particules sont agglomérées à l’aide d’un liant thermodurcissable bio-sourcé. Les panneaux de dimensions 60x60x5 cm3 sont fabriqués dans un premier temps à l’aide d’une presse à plateaux chauffants de laboratoire. L’objectif de cette étude est de valider le procédé de fabrication et de caractériser l’influence de la formulation du composite sur les propriétés mécaniques des panneaux. Les résultats montrent que le procédé de thermo-pressage est adéquat pour la fabrication des panneaux de chènevotte dans la plage de densité visée avec des temps de cycle suffisamment réalistes pour envisager une production industrielle. La proportion de réticulant dans le liant, la proportion de liant dans le panneau et la teneur volumique de chènevotte sont les paramètres essentiels à ajuster pour optimiser les propriétés mécaniques du panneau. Après sélection de la meilleure formulation, des essais menés sur une presse à plateaux chauffants industrielle ont aboutis à la production de 80 panneaux rigides isolants de dimensions 120x60x5 cm3.

Diversity
Sentiment Analysis

description: Personalized news recommender systems are widely deployed to filter the information overload caused by the sheer amount of news produced daily. Recommended news articles usually have a sentiment similar to the sentiment orientation of the previously consumed news, creating a self-reinforcing cycle of sentiment chambers around people. Wu et al. introduced SentiRec – a sentiment diversity-aware neural news recommendation model to counter this lack of diversity. In this work, we reproduce SentiRec without access to the original source code and data sample. We re-implement SentiRec from scratch and use the Microsoft MIND dataset (same source but different subset as in the original work) for our experiments. We evaluate and discuss our reproduction from different perspectives. While the original paper mainly has a user-centric perspective on sentiment diversity by comparing the recommendation list to the user’s interaction history, we also analyze the intra-list sentiment diversity of the recommendation list. Additionally, we study the effect of sentiment diversification on topical diversity. Our results suggest that SentiRec does not generalize well to other data since the compared baselines already perform well, opposing the original work’s findings. While the original SentiRec utilizes a rule-based sentiment analyzer, we also study a pre-trained neural sentiment analyzer. However, we observe no improvements in effectiveness nor in sentiment diversity. To foster reproducibility, we make our source code publicly available.

description: We propose 3KG v2, a new self-supervised learning method for universal representation learning of electrocardiograms. This method builds upon its predecessor by featuring a new contrastive objective and transformation space. We assess the quality of representations generated by this algorithm by transferring pre- trained models from a large public dataset to various downstream tasks, including some with- out prior clinical association with ECGs. Performance evaluation is conducted in both few- shot and full data settings to account for limited and complete training data availability, respectively. For each task, we perform a linear evaluation to assess the effectiveness of the pretrained representations. For tasks in the full- data setting, we additionally perform a full-fine tuning to determine the performance ceiling of each method in a practical deployment scenario.

Our results demonstrate that 3KG v2 consistently outperforms a randomly initialized model trained solely on the target task across all downstream tasks and settings. Specifically, we achieve state-of-the-art performance in few- shot diagnosis of right ventricular function and aortic valve stenosis, two conditions that typically require large amounts of labeled ECGs for effective model training. Moreover, we find that fine-tuning 3KG v2 on our source task’s labels can lead to exceptional transfer capability across a variety of tasks. Notably, our model demonstrates a high level of accuracy in predicting left atrial volume index, achieving a 0.720 C-index even in a few-shot setting. This achievement appears to be unprecedented, as we are not aware of any other ECG model that performs well on this task. While 3KG v2 out- performs our baselines and shows promising results on the majority of phenotype discovery tasks, there is still room for improvement in the absolute performance of any ECG model on many of these complex tasks. Further research is warranted to continue developing and improving such methods for phenotype discovery tasks on ECGs.

description: La fabrication de matériaux isolants pour le bâtiment obtenus à partir de la valorisation des agro-ressources est une voie prometteuse tant au niveau écologique qu’au regard des performances hygrothermiques de ces composites. Toutefois, le manque d’information relatif à la leur résistance au développement fongique limite leur emploi. Le développement des moisissures est en effet de nature à occasionner des problèmes de santé et à générer des endommagements. Il existe donc un besoin de classer les matériaux en fonction de leur résistance à la prolifération des moisissures et à la désintégration afin de les utiliser de manière appropriée. L’objectif de cette communication est de proposer un protocole permettant de qualifier les composites biosourcés au regard de leur performance. Un essai de vieillissement accéléré a été réalisé sur 5 composites constitués de deux agro-ressources différentes (chanvre et colza) avec des liants différents. Il consiste à exposer les échantillons à une température de 30_C et une humidité relative de 90 %HR pendant trois mois. Au cours de l’essai, les échantillons sont régulièrement photographiés et pesés. L’évolution de deux indicateurs est ainsi mesurée au cours du temps : la perte de masse de l’échantillon et le pourcentage de sa surface externe contaminée par les moisissures. A la fin de l’essai, une observation microscopique permet d’identifier les espèces des moisissures qui ont contaminés le composite.

description: We describe a number of improvements to the GENEVA method for matching NNLO calculations to parton shower programs. In particular, we detail changes to the resummed calculation used in the matching procedure, including disentangling the cross section dependence on factorisation and beam scales, and an improved treatment of timelike logarithms. We also discuss modifications in the implementation of the splitting functions which serve to make the resummed calculation differential in the higher multiplicity phase space. These changes improve the stability of the numerical cancellation of the nonsingular term at small values of the resolution parameter. As a case study, we consider the gluon-initiated Higgs boson production process $gg\to H$. We validate the NNLO accuracy of our predictions against independent calculations, and compare our showered and hadronised results with recent data taken at the ATLAS and CMS experiments in the diphoton decay channel, finding good agreement.

description: L’objectif de ce travail est d’optimiser les performances thermiques et mécaniques d’un composite biosourcé à base de paille céréalière. Deux procédures ont été retenues, la première permet d’augmenter la porosité de la matrice en ajoutant un bioadjuvant entraineur d’air aux constituants du matériau. La deuxième consiste d’une part à augmenter la porosité du matériau et d’autre part à améliorer l’adhérence entre la matrice et la surface lisse des fibres végétales en substituant en poudre un pourcentage de liant par une protéine qui lui donne des qualités adhésives. Une caractérisation thermique et mécanique a été effectuée ensuite sur les différents composites. La comparaison des propriétés des biocomposites avec et sans additifs montre une influence remarquable de ces adjuvants sur les propriétés physiques et mécaniques.

description: Les modèles classiques décrivant les transferts de masse hygriques dans les matériaux de construction semblent inadaptés dans le cas des matériaux biosourcés. Ils reposent sur l’hypothèse d’un équilibre local instantané entre humidité relative et teneur en eau. Ces deux paramètres évoluent en fonction des flux diffusifs en suivant les isothermes de sorption. Ceci conduit à des temps de stabilisation beaucoup plus courts que ceux obtenus expérimentalement. Une nouvelle approche est présentée ici, elle s’affranchit de l’équilibre local instantané en introduisant une cinétique locale pour décrire la transformation de l’eau de l’état vapeur à l’état liquide et inversement. Cette cinétique locale de sorption est couplée au phénomène bien connu d’hystérésis. Elle est ajustée au regard de données bibliographiques fournissant des mesures de suivi de masse d’un béton de chanvre en conditions d’adsorption / désorption. Cette approche permet un excellent recalage sur l’expérience. Enfin, les comparaisons de simulations de tests MBV (cycles isothermes de HR de 33% ↔ 75%) à l’expérience sont également en faveur du modèle cinétique. Ce dernier constitue une avancée conséquente dans le domaine étudié.

Methods for the economic evaluation of personalized medicine : a case study in advanced colorectal cancer
Creators: name: Pataky, Reka Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: With the use of precision medicine in oncology, where choice of treatment is informed by the molecular characteristics of the disease, we expect to see heterogeneity in the effectiveness and costs of interventions. New precision medicine interventions are often costly and evidence from randomized controlled trials may not be available, yet decision-makers must be able to evaluate these interventions appropriately to inform efficient health resource allocation. The goal of my thesis is to explore methods to quantify the value and impact of identifying heterogeneity, using real-world observational data. The use of third-line anti-EGFR therapy (cetuximab and panitumumab) informed by RAS mutation status for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer is used as the example throughout the work. The analysis uses linked administrative data for a historical cohort of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who were potentially-eligible for third-line systemic therapy. Using these data I conducted a cost-effectiveness analysis of anti-EGFR therapy informed by KRAS testing, and a cost-effectiveness analysis of panel-based expanded RAS testing vs. simple KRAS testing. I also conducted a literature review to identify and compare alternative frameworks for valuing heterogeneity-informed treatment decisions in the context of precision medicine. Based on this review, I selected the value of heterogeneity framework to evaluate alternative RAS-based subgrouping strategies to inform anti-EGFR therapy. The results of the analysis indicate that at the lower range of cost-effectiveness thresholds, anti-EGFR therapy would not be considered cost-effective regardless of subgrouping strategy. Value of heterogeneity analysis indicates that at a threshold of $100,000/LYG the value gained from subgroup-based decisions exceeds the costs of the genomic testing required to define the subgroups. Resolving uncertainty, or reducing the costs of testing and treatment, could provide considerable additional value. The value of heterogeneity framework can complement conventional methods for economic evaluation by describing and valuing the heterogeneity that arises with the use of precision medicine in a more comprehensive way. This research also demonstrates the strengths of using real-world data to conduct value of heterogeneity analysis. The precision medicine landscape is continuously evolving, and embracing new methods and sources of evidence will help decision-makers keep pace with these changes.
title: Passive Optical Network Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation Algorithms for Converged Fronthaul
Creators: name: Edeagu, Samuel O.
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: The research presented in this thesis is focused on the use of passive optical network (PON) dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) algorithms for converged fronthaul. This work adapts and extends an existing model for use with a status reporting DBA that incorporates a colorless grant. This thesis also proposes a hybrid DBA that operates with the status reporting DBA and cooperative DBA. The models for the status reporting DBA and the proposed hybrid DBA are implemented in the OMNeT++ network simulator. The performance of both DBAs is evaluated using four simulation experiments in two deployment scenarios for a 10 Gbit/s symmetric PON (XGS-PON) system with an emphasis on the average optical network unit (ONU) upstream queueing delay and the proportion of frames meeting the latency requirement for fronthaul traffic. This is achieved by allocating bandwidth to the different types of traffic in a converged network based on their priority and latency requirement. The key findings from the simulation experiments show that, when the delay distribution of frames is analysed, a status reporting DBA that incorporates a colorless grant is suitable for meeting the latency requirement in a converged network, provided an adequate allocation of bandwidth is made available for fronthaul traffic. More than 99% of the fronthaul traffic at 80% traffic load in all scenarios meet the fronthaul latency requirement in the status reporting DBA. Furthermore, when the two DBAs are compared, the hybrid DBA provides zero frame loss for fronthaul traffic in all scenarios which is not achievable using the status reporting DBA.

description: Active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) with unfavorable physicochemical properties and stability present a significant challenge during their processing into final dosage forms. Cocrystallization of such APIs with suitable coformers is an efficient approach to mitigate the solubility and stability concerns. A considerable number of cocrystal-based products are currently being marketed and show an upward trend. However, to improve the API properties by cocrystallization, coformer selection plays a paramount role. Selection of suitable coformers not only improves the drug’s physicochemical properties but also improves the therapeutic effectiveness and reduces side effects.Numerous coformers have been used till date to prepare pharmaceutically acceptable cocrystals. The carboxylic acid-based coformers, such as fumaric acid, oxalic acid, succinic acid, and citric acid, are the most commonly used coformers in the currently marketed cocrystal-based products. Carboxylic acid-based coformers are capable of forming the hydrogen bond and contain smaller carbon chainwith the APIs. This review summarizes the role of coformers in improving the physicochemical and pharmaceutical properties of APIs, and deeply explains the utility of afore-mentioned coformers in API cocrystal formation. The review concludes with a brief discussion on the patentability andregulatory issues related to pharmaceutical cocrystals.

description: Le renforcement des structures bois est un enjeu majeur dans le génie civil. Le but est d’augmenter d’une part la capacité portante mais également de réduire les déplacements en augmentant la rigidité des éléments hybrides. Une méthode est de mixer le bois avec des matériaux plus rigide comme le béton ou des armatures comme les polymères renforcés aux fibres. Pour connecter les matériaux entre eux, plusieurs techniques existent avec leurs avantages et inconvénients. Cet article traite d’une connexion innovante à base de collage pour réaliser des prototypes de planchers composites bois-béton. Ces panneaux sont testés en flexion 4 points dans l’optique de caractériser le comportement mécanique à court terme. En parallèle, un modèle analytique basé sur l’étude du profil de déformation de la section et de l’équilibre des forces internes est développé. Ce modèle est ensuite confronté aux résultats expérimentaux. Les résultats montrent que les planchers ont un comportement mécanique presque linéaire jusqu’à la rupture. Le nouveau traitement de surface à base de collage résiste parfaitement et permet d’avoir une marge de sécurité par rapport aux charges classiques des Eurocodes. Au niveau des déplacements, la mixité bois-béton permet d’augmenter la rigidité de la structure et donc de diminuer la flèche. Le modèle reproduit correctement la rigidité de la structure. Des écarts jusqu’à 20% sont observables entre les résultats théoriques et empiriques sur les planchers au niveau des valeurs à rupture. Au final, ces planchers hybrides sont une excellente alternative aux méthodes courantes de construction bois puisqu’ils allient performance, technologie innovante et écologie.

De símbolo sexual al empoderamiento: representaciones de la agencia femenina de la revolución mexicana a la narco-modernidad
Creators: name: Guzman Rodriguez, Maria Fernanda
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: This study examines the patterns between the artistic reproductions of the Mexican Revolution and narco literature based on the representation of fictional female characters, mainly in the following works: Adelita y las guerrillas (1936) by José G. Cruz and La Reina del Sur (2002) by Arturo Pérez Reverte (including its televisual adaptations: La reina del sur (2011), Telemundo; The Queen of the South (2016), USA Network). In the first chapter, I analyze the mutability of soldaderas by examining and comparing the ways they have been represented. I also show that there is a temporary hiatus between post-revolutionary and narco-literature works because the representation of women in the artistic works of this hiatus was of a more passive subject. Chapter two sustains, through the comparison between Adela Negrete and Teresa Mendoza, that these women have been shaped by civil conflicts (the Mexican Revolution or drug violence) and violence, making them violent. Likewise, they have been constructed through a masculine gaze that eroticizes and sexualizes them. In the third chapter, I study historical and contemporary corridos that sing about adelitas or drug traffickers, to suggest that orality sculpts representations. I examine how the oral representations of the adelitas disfigure the image of the soldadera and prefigure narrative and visual interpretations for the fictional creations of the adelitas, highlighting valor and beauty as some of the main characteristics of these women; elements also found in the narcocorridos.

La Marea Verde: The Personal Significance of Pro-Choice Protest Participation for Young Women in Buenos Aires, Argentina
Creators: name: Keenan-Kurgan, Claire E.
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2023

description: In December 2020, abortion was legalized in Argentina. The years prior were marked by massive protests of hundreds of thousands of women in the streets of the nation’s capital city of Buenos Aires, demanding universal access to free, legal, and safe abortion. Building on existing theories of mechanisms and impacts of mobilization (McAdam 1988; Jasper 1997; Tufecki 2012), my research looks at the reasons young women attended protests and the characteristics of individual protest experiences, in order to investigate the personal significance of pro-choice activism for young women in Buenos Aires. I ask, what kinds of political consciousness and understandings of self, specifically in terms of gender, emerged through protest participation? Interviews with nine young women in Buenos Aires who were in high school or the first few years of university at the time of these protests reveal the following overall finding: protest spaces and protest participation provided young women with an opportunity to re-imagine their gender identity through political action and to develop new understandings of gender roles in Argentina. Participants describe feeling more empowered, being better equipped with tools to identify patriarchal structures in their daily lives, and feeling more motivated to continue with feminist activism even after abortion was legalized. Understanding the personal value individuals take away from protest participation may contribute to theories of why people choose to join in and how protest movements, for reproductive rights or otherwise, can best build momentum.

description: With the launch of the UN International Decade for Water on 22 March 2005, awareness is raised in the international community of the growing demand and scarcity of water for people throughout the world. Water is a particularly scarce resource in both Israel and the Palestinian Territories. The use of the water resources of the West Bank and Gaza has been part and parcel of the Israeli–Palestinian peace negotiations. With the beginning of new peace negotiations under Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas, the topic of water and its allocation to Palestinians and Israelis is back on the negotiation table. The present article will point to the water crisis in Israel and the Palestinian Territories and analyse core provisions of international law which govern the use of water resources. Finally, it will outline how an allocation of water rights according to principles of international law could take place.

description: We present a statistical inference approach to estimate the frequency noise characteristics of ultra-narrow linewidth lasers from delayed self-heterodyne beat note measurements using Bayesian inference. Particular emphasis is on estimation of the intrinsic (Lorentzian) laser linewidth. The approach is based on a statistical model of the measurement process, taking into account the effects of the interferometer as well as the detector noise. Our method therefore yields accurate results even when the intrinsic linewidth plateau is obscured by detector noise. The regression is performed on periodogram data in the frequency domain using a Markov-chain Monte Carlo method. By using explicit knowledge about the statistical distribution of the observed data, the method yields good results already from a single time series and does not rely on averaging over many realizations, since the information in the available data is evaluated very thoroughly. The approach is demonstrated for simulated time series data from a stochastic laser rate equation model with 1 / textitf-type non-Markovian noise.

description: Article 8(2)(b)(iv), second alternative, of the Statute of the International Criminal Court lists as a war crime the launching of an attack that may cause excessive damage to the natural environment. The incorporation of this offence into the ICC Statute appears to be a great achievement, as it is the first time that such conduct has expressly been declared to entail individual criminal responsibility under an international treaty. It is, however, submitted that Article 8(2)(b)(iv), second alternative, of the ICC Statute, suffers from a serious lack of definition. In addition, the provision depends on an extremely high damage threshold which further complicates its application in practice.
A hyaluronic-based prodrug with aggregation-induced emission for drug delivery and cellular imaging

description: A novel drug molecule (R6) is conjugated to hyaluronic acid (HA) to form a pH-responsive prodrug with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) property. Owing to its amphiphilic nature, the prodrug could self-assemble into nanoparticles (NP) in an aqueous solution. This formulation thereby gave rise to AIE of the R6 moieties which resided in the NP core. The polymer could release the drug at the tumor microenvironment (TME) acidic condition (99% release after 72 h), while remaining stable at the physiological pH. In addition, fluorescence signals by AIE from the NP could be used for cellular imaging. The hyaluronic acid shell can target the overexpressed CD44 receptors in cancer cells, which gives the NP active targeting property. The prodrug showed toxicity against the mouse breast cancer cell line 4T1 while being harmless to the L929 fibroblast cells. Fluorescence microscopy images confirmed the imaging ability of the NP in 4T1 cells. The HA-R6 polymer prodrug promises to be a versatile pH-sensitive drug delivery platform.
