Lewis Acid Properties of Tetrel Tetrafluorides—The Coincidence of the -Hole Concept with the QTAIM Approach
(MDPI, 2017-02)
Tetrel bond is analysed for a series of ZF(4) (Z = C, Si, Ge) complexes with one and two NH3 or AsH3 ligands. The MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ calculations were performed and supported by results of the Quantum Theory of Atoms in ...
Vacuum state of the Dirac field in de Sitter space and entanglement entropy
(Springer, 2017-03-13)
We compute the entanglement entropy of a free massive Dirac field between two causally disconnected open charts in de Sitter space. We first derive the Bunch-Davies vacuum mode functions of the Dirac field. We find there ...
Infective endocarditis in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy A multicenter, prospective, cohort study
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2016-06)
Infective endocarditis (IE) complicating hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a poorly known entity. Although current guidelines do not recommend IE antibiotic prophylaxis (IEAP) in HCM, controversy remains.This study ...
Creating stable Floquet–Weyl semimetals by laser-driving of 3D Dirac materials
(Nature Publishing, 2017-01-17)
Tuning and stabilizing topological states, such as Weyl semimetals, Dirac semimetals or topological insulators, is emerging as one of the major topics in materials science. Periodic driving of many-body systems offers a ...
Increased Calcium-Sensing Receptor Immunoreactivity in the Hippocampus of a Triple Transgenic Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease
(Frontiers Media, 2017-02-16)
The Calcium-Sensing Receptor (CaSR) is a G-protein coupled, 7-transmembrane domain receptor ubiquitously expressed throughout the body, brain including. The role of CaSR in the CNS is not well understood; its expression ...
Multicenter prospective study on the burden of rotavirus gastroenteritis in children less than 3 years of age in Spain
(Biomed Central, 2016-10-10)
Background: Rotavirus is acknowledged as an important cause of paediatric gastroenteritis worldwide. In Spain, comprehensive data on the burden of rotavirus disease was lacking.
Methods: A prospective, multicenter, ...
Tropheryma whipplei endocarditis in Spain Case: reports of 17 prospective cases
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2016-06)
Tropheryma whipplei endocarditis is an uncommon condition with very few series and <90 cases reported in the literature. The aim of the study was to analyze the epidemiological, clinical, and outcome characteristics of 17 ...
Structural remodeling and oligomerization of human cathelicidin on membranes suggest fibril-like structures as active species
(Nature Publishing, 2017-11-13)
Antimicrobial peptides as part of the mammalian innate immune system target and remove major bacterial pathogens, often through irreversible damage of their cellular membranes. To explore the mechanism by which the important ...
Water-Based Suspensions of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles with Electrostatic or Steric Stabilization by Chitosan: Fabrication, Characterization and Biocompatibility
(MDPI, 2017-11-13)
Present day biomedical applications, including magnetic biosensing, demand better understanding of the interactions between living systems and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). In this work spherical MNPs of maghemite were ...
