Polyurethane films prepared with isophorone diisocyanate functionalized wheat starch
(Elsevier, 2021-12-05)
[EN]This study reports the fabrication and performance of sustainable polyurethane (PU) films based on wheat starch (native NS, modified MS), bio-polyols (1,3-propanediol PD, glycerol Gly), and polymeric diphenylmethane ...
The influence of dietary conditions in the effects of resveratrol on hepatic steatosis
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-11-01)
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered the major cause for the development of chronic liver alterations. Hepatic steatosis is the most benign and common form of NAFLD, although its potential to evolve into ...
Simultaneous Sensing of Refractive Index and Temperature With Supermode Interference
(IEEE, 2021-11-15)
[EN]In general, a sensor is used to monitor a single parameter only, and in many cases, a reference sensor is necessary to compensate the effect of temperature. Here, we demonstrate that a single supermode interferometer ...
Anomalous High‐Temperature Superconductivity in YH6
(Wiley-VCH GmbH, 2021-03-10)
Pressure‐stabilized hydrides are a new rapidly growing class of high‐temperature superconductors, which is believed to be described within the conventional phonon‐mediated mechanism of coupling. Here, the synthesis of one ...
High-performance vector bending and orientation distinguishing curvature sensor based on asymmetric coupled multi-core fibre
(Nature, 2020-08-20)
Fibre optic technology is rapidly evolving, driven mainly by telecommunication and sensing applications. Excellent reliability of the manufacturing processes and low cost have drawn ever increasing attention to fibre-based ...
Scientific Evidence Supporting the Beneficial Effects of Isoflavones on Human Health
(MDPI, 2020-12-17)
Isoflavones are phenolic compounds with a chemical structure similar to that of estradiol. They are present in several vegetables, mainly in legumes such as soy, white and red clover, alfalfa and beans. The most significant ...
The Association of Interpersonal Relationships and Social Services with the Self-Rated Health of Spanish Homelessness
(MDPI, 2021-09-06)
Understanding the specific factors associated with poor health is critical to improve the health of homeless people. This study aimed to analyze the influence of personal variables, interpersonal relationships, and the ...
Current Knowledge on Beetroot Bioactive Compounds: Role of Nitrate and Betalains in Health and Disease
(MDPI, 2021-06-07)
An increase in the prevalence of noncommunicable chronic diseases has been occurring in recent decades. Among the deaths resulting from these conditions, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) stand out as the main contributors. ...
Probing the Stability and Magnetic Properties of Magnetosome Chains in Freeze-Dried Magnetotactic Bacteria
(Royal Society Of Chemistry, 2020-03-01)
Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense biosynthesize high-quality magnetite nanoparticles, called magnetosomes, and arrange them into a chain that behaves like a magnetic compass. Here we perform magnetometry and polarized ...
Strong anharmonic and quantum effects in Pm-3n AlH3 under high pressure: A first-principles study
(APS, 2021-04-29)
Motivated by the absence of experimental superconductivity in the metallic Pm-3n phase of
AlH3 despite the predictions, we reanalyze its vibrational and superconducting properties at pressures
P≥99 GPa making use of ...
