Scientometric and Patentometric Analyses to Determine the Knowledge Landscape in Innovative Technologies: the Case of 3D Bioprinting
(Public Library Science, 2017-06-29)
This research proposes an innovative data model to determine the landscape of emerging technologies. It is based on a competitive technology intelligence methodology that incorporates the assessment of scientific publications ...
β2, 2-Amino Acid N-Carboxyanhydrides Relying on Sequential Enantioselective C(4)-Functionalization of Pyrrolidin-2,3-diones and Regioselective Baeyer–Villiger Oxidation
(Wiley, 2017-02-28)
A catalytic enantioselective entry to β2, 2-amino acids enabling their direct coupling with nucleophiles is described. The approach is based upon an effective bifunctional Brønsted base catalyzed construction of a quaternary ...
Watch out, Sweetie: The Impact of Gender and Offence Type on Parents’ Altruistic Fear of Crime
(Springer, 2017-03-16)
Altruistic fear of crime, that is, the fear that another person will become a victim of crime, is frequent and relevant, especially among parents for their children, but it has received much less attention than personal ...
Visual Programming Environments for Object Oriented Programming: Acceptance and Effects on Student Motivation
(IEEE, 2017-08-07)
This paper presents an experiment in which visual programming environments have been used in programming courses aiming at helping students to acquire the competencies of a course on object-oriented programming. This paper ...
G protein-membrane interactions II: Effect of G Protein-linked Lipids on Membrane Structure and G Protein-membrane Interactions
(Elsevier, 2017-07-03)
[EN] G proteins often bear myristoyl, palmitoyl and isoprenyl moieties, which favor their
association with the membrane and their accumulation in G Protein Coupled Receptor-rich
microdomains. These lipids influence the ...
Size-effect and scaling power-law for superelasticity in Shape Memory Alloys at the nano-scale
(Macmillan Publishers Limited, part of Springer Nature., 2017-05-29)
Shape-memory alloys capable of a superelastic stress-induced phase transformation and a high displacement actuation have promise for applications in micro-electromechanical systems for wearable healthcare and flexible ...
Conformational stabilization as a strategy to prevent nucleophosmin mislocalization in leukemia
(Nature Research, 2017-10-24)
Nucleophosmin (NPM) is a nucleolar protein involved in ribosome assembly and cell homeostasis. Mutations in the C-terminal domain of NPM that impair native folding and localization are associated with acute myeloid leukemia ...
Shortcuts to adiabaticity in optical waveguides using fast quasiadiabatic dynamics
(Optica Publishing Group, 2017-01-03)
We propose a fast quasiadiabatic approach to the design of optical waveguide devices. This approach distributes the system adiabaticity homogeneously over the device length, thus providing a shortcut to adiabaticity at a ...
Human ATG3 binding to lipid bilayers: role of lipid geometry, and electric charge
(Nature Publishing, 2017-11-15)
Specific protein-lipid interactions lead to a gradual recruitment of AuTophaGy-related (ATG) proteins to the nascent membrane during autophagosome (AP) formation. ATG3, a key protein in the movement of LC3 towards the ...
Triacylglycerol mimetics regulate membrane interactions of glycogen branching enzyme: implications for therapy
(Elsevier, 2017-06-19)
Adult polyglucosan body disease (APBD) is a neurological disorder characterized by adult-onset neurogenic bladder, spasticity, weakness, and sensory loss. The disease is caused by aberrant glycogen branching enzyme (GBE) ...
