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 ...
Easy-to-Make Polymer Hydrogels by UV-Curing for the Cleaning of Acrylic Emulsion Paint Films
(MDPI, 2021-06-26)
The cleaning of acrylic emulsion paint surfaces poses a great challenge in the conservation field, due to their high water sensitivity. In this article, we present easy-to-make polymer hydrogels, made by UV-photopolymerization, ...
Enrichment of Oesophageal Speech: Voice Conversion with Duration-Matched Synthetic Speech as Target
(MDPI, 2021-06-26)
Pathological speech such as Oesophageal Speech (OS) is difficult to understand due to the presence of undesired artefacts and lack of normal healthy speech characteristics. Modern speech technologies and machine learning ...
Experimental study and modeling of biomass char gasification kinetics in a novel thermogravimetric flow reactor
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-04-25)
[EN]This work pursues the validation of a new reactor for the evaluation of char gasification kinetics. This novel reactor allows continuous gas flow through the fixed bed sample and accurately monitoring the mass loss ...
Application Dependent End-of-Life Threshold Definition Methodology for Batteries in Electric Vehicles
(MDPI, 2021-02-11)
The end-of-life event of the battery system of an electric vehicle is defined by a fixed end-of-life threshold value. However, this kind of end-of-life threshold does not capture the application and battery characteristics ...
Factors associated with successful dietary changes in an energy-reduced Mediterranean diet intervention: a longitudinal analysis in the PREDIMED-Plus trial
(Springer, 2022)
[EN] Purpose Long-term nutrition trials may fail to respond to their original hypotheses if participants do not comply with the intended dietary intervention. We aimed to identify baseline factors associated with successful ...
Fruit and Vegetable Consumption is Inversely Associated with Plasma Saturated Fatty Acids at Baseline in Predimed Plus Trial
(Wiley, 2021-09)
Scope Plasma fatty acids (FAs) are associated with the development of cardiovascular diseases and metabolic syndrome. The aim of our study is to assess the relationship between fruit and vegetable (F&V) consumption and ...
Brønsted Base Catalyzed One-Pot Synthesis od Stereodefined Six-Member Carbocycles Featuring Transient Trienolates and a Key Intramolecular 1,6-Addition
(Wiley-VCH, 2019-07-31)
Acatalyst-driven one-pot reaction sequence is
developed for the enantio- and diastereoselective synthesis of
tetrasubstituted cyclohexenes from simple unsaturated ketones
or thioesters.The method involves atertiary ...
Reduced Carbon Monoxide Saturation Coverage on Vicinal Palladium Surfaces: the Importance of the Adsorption Site
(American Chemical Society, 2021-10-07)
[EN]Steps at metal surfaces may influence energetics and kinetics of catalytic reactions in unexpected ways. Here, we report a significant reduction of the CO saturation coverage in Pd vicinal surfaces, which in turn is ...
Benefits of cryopreservation as long-term storage method of encapsulated cardiosphere-derived cells for cardiac therapy: A biomechanical analysis
(Elsevier, 2021-09-25)
[EN]Cardiosphere-derived cells (CDCs) encapsulated within alginate-poly-L-lysine-alginate (APA) microcapsules present a promising treatment alternative for myocardial infarction. However, clinical translatability of ...
