The Promotion of Sustainable Diets in the Healthcare System and Implications for Health Professionals: A Scoping Review
(MDPI, 2021-02-26)
The impacts of the current global food system are already visible in the environment and in the health of the population. The promotion of sustainable diets is key to counter the negative consequences. The healthcare system ...
RNA Localization and Local Translation in Glia in Neurological and Neurodegenerative Diseases: Lessons from Neurons
(MDPI, 2021-03-12)
Cell polarity is crucial for almost every cell in our body to establish distinct structural and functional domains. Polarized cells have an asymmetrical morphology and therefore their proteins need to be asymmetrically ...
Determinants of Corporate Anti-Corruption Disclosure: The Case of the Emerging Economics
(MDPI, 2021-03-20)
Corruption is a key factor that affects countries’ development, with emerging countries being a geographical area in which it tends to generate greater negative effects. However, few empirical studies analyze corruption ...
Self-Tuning Algorithm for Tuneable Clamping Table for Chatter Suppression in Blade Recontouring
(MDPI, 2021-03-13)
The production and repair of blades for aerospace engines and energy turbines is a complex process due their inherently low stiffness and damping properties. The final recontouring operation is usually performed by milling ...
Competition between nucleation and confinement in the crystallization of poly(ethylene glycol)/ large aspect ratio hectorite nanocomposites
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020-06-25)
The overall crystallization kinetics of polymer nanocomposites is determined by nucleation and crystal growth, which are both greatly affected by confinement. Heterogeneous nucleation is influenced by the interphase area ...
Fixed-Point Study of Generalized Rational Type Multivalued Contractive Mappings on Metric Spaces with a Graph
(MDPI, 2021-03-11)
The main result of this paper is a fixed-point theorem for multivalued contractions obtained through an inequality with rational terms. The contraction is an F-type contraction. The results are obtained in a metric space ...
e-Distance in Menger PGM Spaces with an Application
(MDPI, 2020-12-30)
The main purpose of the present paper is to define the concept of an e-distance (as a generalization of r-distance) on a Menger PGM space and to introduce some of its properties. Moreover, some coupled fixed point results, ...
Neuropathological Characterization of a Dravet Syndrome Knock-In Mouse Model Useful for Investigating Cannabinoid Treatments
(Frontiers Media, 2021-01-29)
Dravet syndrome (DS) is an epileptic syndrome caused by mutations in the Scn1a gene encoding the alpha 1 subunit of the sodium channel Nav1.1, which is associated with febrile seizures that progress to severe tonic-clonic ...
Acceptance of Near-Natural Greenspace Management Relates to Ecological and Socio-Cultural Assigned Values Among European Urbanites
(Elsevier, 2021-02)
Grasslands are widespread elements of urban greenspace providing recreational, psychological and aesthetic benefits to city residents. Two urban grassland types of contrasting management dominate urban greenspaces: frequently ...
Phosphorus-Functionalized Graphene for Lithium-Ion Capacitors with Improved Power and Cyclability
(Wiley, 2021-03)
Herein, we report an easy approach for the preparation of graphene-based materials suitable as electrodes for lithium-ion capacitors (LICs). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that phosphorus-functionalized ...
