Assessing the feasibility of near-ambient conditions superconductivity in the Lu-N- H system
(Springer Nature, 2024-04-24)The report of near-ambient superconductivity in nitrogen-doped lutetium hydrides (Lu-N-H) has generated a great interest. However, conflicting results raised doubts regarding superconductivity. Here, we combine high-throughput ... -
Assessment of Different Niosome Formulations for Optogenetic Applications: Morphological and Electrophysiological Effects
(MDPI, 2023-07-01)Gene therapy and optogenetics are becoming promising tools for treating several nervous system pathologies. Currently, most of these approaches use viral vectors to transport the genetic material inside the cells, but ... -
Assessment of product yields and catalyst deactivation in fixed and fluidized bed reactors in the steam reforming of biomass pyrolysis volatiles
(Elsevier, 2020-08-02)[EN] The performance of fixed and fluidized bed reactors in the steam reforming of biomass fast pyrolysis volatiles was compared, with especial attention paying to the differences observed in catalysts deactivation. The ... -
Assessment of sustainable land management practices in Mediterranean rural regions
(Journal of Environmental Management, 2022-12-15)Sustainable land management practices can be suitable vehicles to simultaneously address the causes and consequences of land degradation, desertification, and climate change in land managed systems. Here, we assess the ... -
Association of Maternal Iodine Status With Child IQ: A Meta-Analysis of Individual Participant Data
(Endocrine Society, 2019-03-28)Context: Although the consequences of severe iodine deficiency are beyond doubt, the effects of mild to moderate iodine deficiency in pregnancy on child neurodevelopment are less well established. Objective: To study the ... -
Associations of Maternal Cell-Phone Use During Pregnancy With Pregnancy Duration and Fetal Growth in 4 Birth Cohorts
(Oxford University Press, 2019-04-17)Results from studies evaluating potential effects of prenatal exposure to radio-frequency electromagnetic fields from cell phones on birth outcomes have been inconsistent. Using data on 55,507 pregnant women and their ... -
Atomic and Specificity Details of Mucin 1 O-Glycosylation Process by Multiple Polypeptide GalNAc-Transferase Isoforms Unveiled by NMR and Molecular Modeling
(American Chemical Society, 2022-02-24)[EN] The large family of polypeptide GalNAc-transferases (GalNAc-Ts) controls with precision how GalNAc O-glycans are added in the tandem repeat regions of mucins (e.g., MUC1). However, the structural features behind the ... -
Atomically-Precise Texturing of Hexagonal Boron Nitride Nanostripes
(Wiley, 2021-09)Monolayer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is attracting considerable attention because of its potential applications in areas such as nano- and opto-electronics, quantum optics and nanomagnetism. However, the implementation ... -
Authoritative subspecies diagnosis tool for European honey bees based on ancestryinformative SNPs
(BMC, 2021-02-03)Background With numerous endemic subspecies representing four of its five evolutionary lineages, Europe holds a large fraction of Apis mellifera genetic diversity. This diversity and the natural distribution range have ... -
