title: watergenfactors.m from Nectar, humidity, honey bees (<i>Apis mellifera</i>) and varroa in summer: a theoretical thermofluid analysis of the fate of water vapour from honey ripening and its implications on the control of <i>Varroa destructor</i>

description: This theoretical thermofluid analysis investigates the relationships between honey production rate, nectar concentration and the parameters of entrance size, nest thermal conductance, brood nest humidity and the temperatures needed for nectar to honey conversion. It quantifies and shows that nest humidity is positively related to the amount, and water content of the nectar being desiccated into honey and negatively with respect to nest thermal conductance and entrance size. It is highly likely that honeybees, in temperate climates and in their natural home, with much smaller thermal conductance and entrance, can achieve higher humidities more easily and more frequently than in man-made hives. As a consequence, it is possible that <i>Varroa destructor</i>, a parasite implicated in the spread of pathogenic viruses and colony collapse, which loses fecundity at absolute humidities of 4.3 kPa (approx. 30 gm<sup>−3</sup>) and above, is impacted by the more frequent occurrence of higher humidities in these low conductance, small entrance nests. This study provides the theoretical basis for new avenues of research into the control of varroa, via the modification of beekeeping practices to help maintain higher hive humidities.

title: Altering the release of tobramycin by incorporating poly(ethylene glycol) into model silicone hydrogel contact lens materials

description: Delivery of drugs from contact lens materials is attractive for a number of reasons. However, the controlled delivery of hydrophilic drugs can be difficult to achieve due to the burst release of drug that is associated with materials of high water content, such as hydrogels. Silicone hydrogels have significant potential for drug delivery due to their increased hydrophobicity and the tortuous nature of the pores, overcoming some of the limitations associated with conventional hydrogel materials. The aim of this study was to examine the potential of model poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) containing silicone hydrogels for delivery of hydrophilic aminoglycoside antibiotics. It was hypothesized that PEG, a polymer that has seen extensive use in biomedical applications, will provide in addition to hydrophilicity and protein repulsion, a mechanism for controlling the delivery of this hydrophilic antibiotic. PEG was combined with the macromer TRIS to create the model silicone hydrogel materials. The optical and physical properties of the novel TRIS-<i>co</i>-PEG silicone hydrogels exhibited excellent transparency, appropriate refractive index and high transmittance indicating minimal phase separation. Desirable properties such as wettability and protein repulsion were maintained across a wide range of formulations. The water content was found to be highly correlated with the ethylene oxide content. Drug release could be influenced through PEG content and was found to fit Higuchi-like kinetics. Overall, the study demonstrates that incorporation of PEG into a model silicone hydrogel could be used to control the release of a hydrophilic compound. Data suggests this is related to the unique structure and properties of PEG, which alter the types of water found in each formulation and the water content.
