Creative Chord Sequence Generation for Electronic Dance Music
(MDPI, 2018-09-19)
This paper describes the theory and implementation of a digital audio workstation plug-in for chord sequence generation. The plug-in is intended to encourage and inspire a composer of electronic dance music to explore loops ...
Mediterranean diet and quality of life: Baseline cross-sectional analysis of the PREDIMED-PLUS trial
(Public Libray fo Science, 2018-06-18)
We assessed if a 17-item score capturing adherence to a traditional Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) was associated with better health-related quality of life among older Spanish men and women with overweight or obesity harboring ...
Ionic liqids for the control of the morphology in poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) membranes
(Elsevier, 2018-10-05)
The development of polymer membranes with tailored micro-morphology and wettability is a demand in the areas of filtration, sensors, and tissue engineering, among others. The thermoplastic copolymer poly(vinylidene ...
Correlation between Grafting Density and Confined Crystallization Behavior of Polyethylene Glycol Grafted to Silica
(American Chemical Society, 2019-02-06)
The interfacial interactions of polymer-nanoparticles have dramatical effects on the crystallization behavior of grafted polymers. In this study, methoxy polyethylene glycol (MPEG) (molecular weights 750, 2000 and 4000 g ...
Uniaxial and Mixed Orientations of Poly(ethylene oxide) in Nanoporous Alumina Studied by X-ray Pole Figure Analysis
(American Chemical Society, 2018-11-16)
The orientation of polymers under confinement is a basic, yet not fully understood phenomenon. In this work, the texture of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) infiltrated in nanoporous anodic alumina oxide (AAO) templates was ...
Mutations in LRRK2 impair NF-κB pathway in iPSC-derived neurons
(Biomed Central, 2016-11-18)
Background: Mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) contribute to both familial and idiopathic forms of Parkinson's disease (PD). Neuroinflammation is a key event in neurodegeneration and aging, and there is ...
Nucleation and crystallization in bio-based immiscible polyester blends
(Springer, 2019-08-21)
Bio-based thermoplastic polyesters are highly promising materials as they combine interesting thermal and physical properties and in many cases biodegradability. However, sometimes the best property balance can only be ...
How cyclic chain topology can reduce the crystallization rate of Poly(3- hexylthiophene) and promote the formation of liquid crystalline phases in comparison with linear analogue chains
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-06-14)
We have studied how cyclic topology affects the crystallization and morphology of π-conjugated poly(3-
hexylthiophene) (P3HT) molecules by comparing linear and cyclic analogues for the first time, with three
different ...
Towards globally customizable ecosystem service models
(Elsevier, 2019-02-10)
Scientists, stakeholders and decision makers face trade-offs between adopting simple or complex approaches when modeling ecosystem services (ES). Complex approaches may be time- and data-intensive, making them more challenging ...
Mixed Ionic-Electronic Conducting Membranes (MIEC) for Their Application in Membrane Reactors: A Review
(MDPI, 2019-03-01)
Mixed ionic-electronic conducting membranes have seen significant progress over the last 25 years as efficient ways to obtain oxygen separation from air and for their integration in chemical production systems where pure ...
