Phantom Membrane Microfluidic Cross-Flow Filtration Device for the Direct Optical Detection of Water Pollutants
(Elservier, 2017-11-06)
The diffusion of autonomous sensing platforms capable of a remote large-scale surveillance of environmental water basins is currently limited by the cost and complexity of standard analytical methods. In order to create a ...
Driving Flows in Microfluidic Paper-Based Analytical Devices with a Cholinium Based Poly Ionic Liquid Hydrogel
(Elsevier, 2018-01-31)
Paper microfluidics technology requires effective handling and control of fluids, and this remains as asignificant obstacle for their accessibility by end-users, inhibiting their transition from the laboratory intothe ...
Poly(ionic Liquid) Thermo-responsive Hydrogel Microfluidic Actuators
(2017-03-14)
tributylhexyl phosphonium sulfopropylacrylate (PSPA) poly(ionic liquid) (PILc) hydrogels as temperature controlled actuators in microfluidic devices. The hydrogel size is modulated by localised changes in its temperature ...
Identification of differentially expressed genes by means of outlier detection
(Biomed Central, 2018-09-10)
Background: An important issue in microarray data is to select, from thousands of genes, a small number of informative differentially expressed (DE) genes which may be key elements for a disease. If each gene is analyzed ...
Acetylome in Human Fibroblasts From Parkinson's Disease Patients
(Frontiers Media SA, 2018-04-17)
Parkinson's disease (PD) is amultifactorial neurodegenerative disorder. The pathogenesis of this disease is associated with gene and environmental factors. Mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) are the most ...
Extracellular Vesicles in Liver Diseases: Meeting Report from the International Liver Congress 2018
(Wiley, 2019-02)
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small and heterogeneous membrane-bound structures released by cells and found in all biological fluids. They are effective intercellular communicators, acting on a number of close and/or ...
Modeling the Ascorbate-Glutathione Cycle in Chloroplasts under Light/Dark Conditions
(Biomed Central, 2016-01-22)
Background: Light/dark cycles are probably the most important environmental signals that regulate plant development. Light is essential for photosynthesis, but an excess, in combination with the unavoidable presence of ...
What to consider when pseudohypoparathyroidism is ruled out: iPPSD and differential diagnosis
(Biomed Central, 2018-03-02)
Background: Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is a rare disease whose phenotypic features are rather difficult to identify in some cases. Thus, although these patients may present with the Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy ...
Water Adsorption on the β-Dicalcium Silicate Surface from DFT Simulations
(MDPI, 2018-09-04)
beta-dicalcium silicate (beta-Ca2SiO4 or beta-C2S in cement chemistry notation) is one of the most important minerals in cement. An improvement of its hydration rate would be the key point for developing environmentally-friendly ...
Creative Chord Sequence Generation for Electronic Dance Music
(MDPI, 2018-09-19)
This paper describes the theory and implementation of a digital audio workstation plug-in for chord sequence generation. The plug-in is intended to encourage and inspire a composer of electronic dance music to explore loops ...
