One-Pot Synthesis of Waterborne Polymeric Dispersions Stabilized with Alkali-Soluble Resins
(MDPI, 2018-01)
Alkali-soluble resins (ASRs) are a type of electrosteric emulsifiers of high interest because they can profitably improve the features of waterborne dispersions. In this work, they have been synthesized in-situ through a ...
Study of the Genetic Etiology of Primary Ovarian Insufficiency: FMR1 Gene
(MDPI, 2016-12-13)
Menopause is a period of women's life characterized by the cessation of menses in a definitive way. The mean age for menopause is approximately 51 years. Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) refers to ovarian dysfunction ...
Poly(α-hydroxy Acids)-Based Cell Microcarriers
(MDPI, 2016-12-16)
Biodegradable poly(alpha-hydroxyacids) have gained increasing interest in the biomedical field for their use as cell microcarriers thanks to their biodegradability, biocompatibility, tunable mechanical properties/degradation ...
Framework for the establishment of a feasible, tailored and effective perinatal education programme
(Biomed Central, 2017-02-08)
Background: Antenatal education needs to be renewed and adapted to the needs of women.
Objectives: to assess women needs, identify factors that influence the desired outcomes, and propose a framework for developing new ...
Proper Name Retrieval And Structural Integrity Of Cerebral Cortex In Midlife: A Cross-Sectional Study
(Elsevier, 2018-02)
There is currently little understanding on whether retrieval of proper names differs in midlife compared to young adulthood and if so, whether the age differences in this ability are associated with differences in structural ...
Fructose-Based Acrylic Copolymers by Emulsion Polymerization
(MDPI, 2018-05)
The exploration of a renewable resource for the preparation of waterborne copolymers was conducted. Low molar mass sugar resources were selected for their wide availability. A fructose-based monomer (MF) bearing a methacrylate ...
Structural basis for selective recognition of acyl chains by the membrane-associated acyltransferase PatA
(Nature Publishing, 2016-03)
The biosynthesis of phospholipids and glycolipids are critical pathways for virtually all cell membranes. PatA is an essential membrane associated acyltransferase involved in the biosynthesis of mycobacterial phosphatidy ...
Isolated rectus abdominis metastasis from melanoma—An extremely rare case
(Elsevier, 2016)
INTRODUCTION: Melanoma is a health problem world-wide. Its incidence has tripled in the last decade. The main cause of death in melanoma patients is widespread metastases. It can metastasize to almost every organ. However, ...
Quantum work statistics, Loschmidt echo and information scrambling
(Nature Publishing, 2018-08-22)
A universal relation is established between the quantum work probability distribution of an isolated driven quantum system and the Loschmidt echo dynamics of a two-mode squeezed state. When the initial density matrix is ...
Phantom dark ghost in Einstein–Cartan gravity
(Springer, 2017-05-03)
A class of dynamical dark energy models is constructed through an extended version of fermion fields corresponding to phantom dark ghost spinors, which are spin 1/2 with mass dimension 1. We find that if these spinors ...
