SREBP-2-driven transcriptional activation of human SND1 oncogene
(Impact Journals LLC, 2017-12-08)
Upregulation of Staphylococcal nuclease and tudor domain containing 1 (SND1) is linked to cancer progression and metastatic spread. Increasing evidence indicates that SND1 plays a role in lipid homeostasis. Recently, it ...
Goal-Oriented p-Adaptivity using Unconventional Error Representations for a 1D Steady State Convection-Diffusion Problem
(Elsevier, 2017)
This work proposes the use of an alternative error representation for Goal-Oriented Adaptivity (GOA) in context of steady state convection dominated diffusion problems. It introduces an arbitrary operator for the computation ...
Optimally refined isogeometric analysis
(Elsevier, 2017)
Performance of direct solvers strongly depends upon the employed discretization method. In particular, it is possible to improve the performance of solving Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) discretizations by introducing multiple ...
Binormal Motion of Curves with Constant Torsion in 3-Spaces
(Hindawi, 2017)
We study curve motion by the binormal flow with curvature and torsion depending velocity and sweeping out immersed surfaces. Using the Gauss-Codazzi equations, we obtain filaments evolving with constant torsion which arise ...
ICCS 2017 Workshop on Agent-Based Simulations, Adaptive Algorithms and Solvers
(Elsevier, 2017)
This workshop seeks to integrate results from different domains of computer science, computational science, and mathematics. We welcome simulation papers, either hard simulations using finite element or finite difference ...
Differential profile of protein expression on human keratocytes treated with autologous serum and plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF)
(Public Library Science, 2018-10-12)
Purpose
The main objective of this study is to compare the protein expression of human keratocytes treated with Plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) or autologous serum (AS) and previously induced to myofibroblast by ...
Preparation and Characterization of Resveratrol Loaded Pectin/Alginate Blend Gastro-Resistant Microparticles
(MDPI, 2018-08)
Background: The use of resveratrol as a dietary supplement is limited because it is easily oxidized and, after oral ingestion, it is metabolized into enterocytes and hepatocytes. Thus, new formulations are needed in order ...
Comparison of Flank Super Abrasive Machining vs. Flank Milling on Inconel® 718 Surfaces
(MDPI, 2018-09)
Thermoresistant superalloys present many challenges in terms of machinability, which leads to finding new alternatives to conventional manufacturing processes. In order to face this issue, super abrasive machining (SAM) ...
Self-Healing Hydrogels: The Next Paradigm Shift in Tissue Engineering?
(Wiley, 2019-08-21)
Given their durability and long-term stability, self-healable hydrogels have, in the past few years, emerged as promising replacements for the many brittle hydrogels currently being used in preclinical or clinical trials. ...
Upgrading the Performance of Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Lasers: Improvement Margins and Limitations
(MDPI, 2017)
The topic of cholesteric-liquid-crystal lasers is a rapidly expanding research area in the field of soft-matter photonics. The increasing interest in this field is due to the high versatility that these lasers may possibly ...
