Innovative Electrolytes Based on Ionic Liquids and Polymers for Next-Generation Solid-State Batteries
(ACS, 2019-02-25)
Electrolytes based on organic solvents used in current Li-ion batteries are not compatible with the next-generation energy storage technologies including those based on Li metal. Thus, there has been an increase in research ...
Environmental factors modulated ancient mitochondrial DnA variability and the prevalence of rheumatic diseases in the Basque country
(Nature, 2019-12-31)
Among the factors that would explain the distribution of mitochondrial lineages in Europe, climate and diseases may have played an important role. A possible explanation lies in the nature of the mitochondrion, in which ...
Environmental enrichment shapes striatal spike-timing-dependent plasticity in vivo
(Nature, 2019-12-19)
Behavioural experience, such as environmental enrichment (EE), induces long-term effects on learning and memory. Learning can be assessed with the Hebbian paradigm, such as spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP), which ...
Microstructural control suppresses thermal activation of electron transport at room temperature in polymer transistors
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-07-29)
Recent demonstrations of inverted thermal activation of charge mobility in polymer field-effect transistors have excited the interest in transport regimes not limited by thermal barriers. However, rationalization of the ...
The MAPT H1 Haplotype Is a Risk Factor for Alzheimer’s Disease in APOE ε4 Non-carriers
(Frontiers Media, 2019-12-04)
An ancestral inversion of 900 kb on chromosome 17q21, which includes the microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) gene, defines two haplotype clades in Caucasians (H1 and H2). The H1 haplotype has been linked inconsistently ...
Food-type may jeopardize biomarker interpretation in mussels used in aquatic toxicological experimentation
(Public Library Science, 2019-08-05)
To assess the influence of food type on biomarkers, mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) were maintained under laboratory conditions and fed using 4 different microalgae diets ad libitum for 1 week: (a) Isochrysis galbana; ...
Novel biodegradable and non-fouling systems for controlled-release based on poly(ε-caprolactone)/Quercetin blends and biomimetic bacterial S-layer coatings
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-08-05)
Quercetin is a strong antioxidant with low bioavailability due to its high crystallinity. A further drawback is that Quercetin has potentially toxic effects at high concentrations. To improve this low water solubility, as ...
Continuous changes of variables and the Magnus expansion
(IOP, 2019-09-23)
In this paper, we are concerned with a formulation of Magnus and Floquet-Magnus expansions for general nonlinear differential equations. To this aim, we introduce suitable continuous variable transformations generated by ...
Synthesis of Redox Polymer Nanoparticles Based on Poly(vinylcatechols) and Their Electroactivity
(American Chemical Society, 2019-11-12)
Organic materials are being investigated as an alternative to inorganic cathodes in lithium batteries with the promise of higher sustainability as well as increased theoretical capacity. Among organic materials, redox ...
