Evaluation of the VISAGE Basic Tool for Appearance and Ancestry Prediction Using PowerSeq Chemistry on the MiSeq FGx System
(MDPI, 2020-06-26)
The study of DNA to predict externally visible characteristics (EVCs) and the biogeographical ancestry (BGA) from unknown samples is gaining relevance in forensic genetics. Technical developments in Massively Parallel ...
Waste tyre valorization by catalytic pyrolysis – A review
(Elsevier, 2020-06-05)
[EN] The environmental concern associated with waste tyre disposal and the necessity of sustainable waste management policies has promoted the development of waste tyre valorization processes in the last decades. Within ...
Cells, Materials, and Fabrication Processes for Cardiac Tissue Engineering
(Frontiers Media, 2020-08-11)
Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer worldwide, with myocardial infarction (MI) responsible for approximately 1 in 6 deaths. The lack of endogenous regenerative capacity, added to the deleterious remodelling ...
Predicted Torque Model in Low-Frequency-Assisted Boring (LFAB) Operations
(MDPI, 2021-06-24)
A low-frequency-assisted boring operation is a key cutting process in the aircraft manufacturing sector when drilling deep holes to avoid chip clogging based on chip breakage and, consequently, to reduce the temperature ...
Influence of reactor and condensation system design on tyre pyrolysis products yields
(Elsevier B.V., 2019-09-07)
This study investigates the effect the pyrolysis reactor and the condensing system type have on the tyre derived oil (TDO) and DL-limonene yield, as well as benzothiazole concentration in the TDO. All the experiments were ...
On the pyrolysis of different microalgae species in a conical spouted bed reactor: Bio-fuel yields and characterization
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-05-20)
The aim of this work was to study fast pyrolysis of three microalgae species in a continuous bench-scale conical spouted bed reactor at 500 °C. Bio-gas, bio-oil and bio-char yields have been determined and characterized ...
Active and Passive Tuning of Ultranarrow Resonances in Polaritonic Nanoantennas
(Wiley, 2022-03-10)
[EN] Optical nanoantennas are of great importance for photonic devices and spectroscopy due to their capability of squeezing light at the nanoscale and enhancing light-matter interactions. Among them, nanoantennas made of ...
Planar refraction and lensing of highly confined polaritons in anisotropic media
(Nature, 2021-07-15)
Refraction between isotropic media is characterized by light bending towards the normal to the boundary when passing from a low- to a high-refractive-index medium. However, refraction between anisotropic media is a more ...
Eurobalise-Train communication modelling to assess interferences in railway control signalling systems
(Macrothink Institute, 2016-05-10)
The evolution of the railway sector depends, to a great extent, on the deployment of advanced railway signalling systems. These signalling systems are based on communication architectures that must cope with complex ...
Thiophene-Based Trimers and Their Bioapplications: An Overview
(MDPI, 2021-06-16)
Certainly, the success of polythiophenes is due in the first place to their outstanding electronic properties and superior processability. Nevertheless, there are additional reasons that contribute to arouse the scientific ...
