A Method for the Detection and Characterization of Technology Fronts: Analysis of the Dynamics of Technological Change in 3D Printing Technology
(Institut Català de Paleoecologia Humana i Evolució Social, 2019-01-07)
This paper presents a method for the identification of the "technology fronts"-core technological solutions-underlying a certain broad technology, and the characterization of their change dynamics. We propose an approach ...
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 ...
Water Sculpts the Distinctive Shapes and Dynamics of the Tumor-Associated Carbohydrate Tn Antigens: Implications for Their Molecular Recognition
(ACS, 2018-07-13)
The tumor-associated carbohydrate Tn antigens include two variants, αGalNAc-O-Thr and αGalNAc-O-Ser. In solution, they exhibit dissimilar shapes and dynamics and bind differently to the same protein receptor. Here, we ...
Materials for supercapacitors: When Li-ion battery power is not enough
(Elsevier, 2018-05-26)
Supercapacitors, also known as electrochemical capacitors, have witnessed a fast evolution in the recent years, but challenges remain. This review covers the fundamentals and state-of-the-art developments of supercapacitors. ...
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 ...
Scedosporium and Lomentospora: an updated overview of underrated opportunists
(Oxford University Press, 2018-04-01)
Species of Scedosporium and Lomentospora are considered as emerging opportunists, affecting immunosuppressed and otherwise debilitated patients, although classically they are known from causing trauma-associated infections ...
Validation of an LC-ESI-MS/MS for the quantitation of phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors and their main metabolites in rat serum and brain tissue samples.
(Elsevier, 2012-105-1)
This work proposes a liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization ion trap mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-ITMS) method, for the quantification of sildenafil (SDF), tadalafil (TDF) and vardenafil (VDF) and their metabolites ...
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 ...
AC and DC technology in microgrids: a review
(Elsevier, 2014-12-05)
Microgrids are a suitable, reliable and clean solution to integrate distributed generation into the mains grid. Microgrids can present both AC and DC distribution lines. The type of distribution conditions the performance ...
