A Spanish multispeaker database of esophageal speech
(Elsevier, 2020-11-05)
A laryngectomee is a person whose larynx has been removed by surgery, usually due to laryngeal cancer. After surgery, most laryngectomees are able to speak again, using techniques that are learned with the help of a speech ...
Towards Flexible Integration of 5G and IIoT Technologies in Industry 4.0: A Practical Use Case
(MDPI, 2020-10-29)
The Industry 4.0 revolution envisions fully interconnected scenarios in the manufacturing industry to improve the efficiency, quality, and performance of the manufacturing processes. In parallel, the consolidation of 5G ...
Modulation of Conductivity of Alginate Hydrogels Containing Reduced Graphene Oxide through the Addition of Proteins
(MDPI, 2021-09-15)
Modifying hydrogels in order to enhance their conductivity is an exciting field with applications in cardio and neuro-regenerative medicine. Therefore, we have designed hybrid alginate hydrogels containing uncoated and ...
Metal Extraction and Recovery from Mobile Phone PCBs by a Combination of Bioleaching and Precipitation Processes
(MDPI, 2021-09-15)
Bearing in mind the metal rich composition of printed circuit boards (PCBs), this material represents a secondary source of valuable metals and offers an entrepreneurial opportunity in the metal sales market. Based on the ...
Kinetic modelling for concentration and toxicity changes during the oxidation of 4-chlorophenol by UV/H2O2
(Nature, 2021-08-03)
This work develops a kinetic model that allow to predict the water toxicity and the main degradation products concentration of aqueous solutions containing 4-chlorophenol oxidised by UV/H2O2. The kinetic model was developed ...
Superelastic damping at nanoscale in ternary and quaternary Cu-based shape memory alloys
(Elsevier, 2021-11-25)
Superelasticity is a characteristic thermomechanical property in shape memory alloys (SMA), which is due to a reversible stress-induced martensitic transformation. Nano-compression experiments made possible the study of ...
Progress on Catalyst Development for the Steam Reforming of Biomass and Waste Plastics Pyrolysis Volatiles: A Review
(American Chemical Society, 2021-11-04)
[EN]n recent decades, the production of H-2 from biomass, waste plastics, and their mixtures has attracted increasing attention in the literature in order to overcome the environmental problems associated with global warming ...
Focal accumulation of aromaticity at the CDRH3 loop mitigates 4E10 polyreactivity without altering its HIV neutralization profile
(Cell Press, 2021-09-24)
Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) against HIV-1 are frequently associated with the presence of autoreactivity/polyreactivity, a property that can limit their use as therapeutic agents. The bnAb 4E10, targeting the ...
Sizing the Depth and Width of Narrow Cracks in Real Parts by Laser-Spot Lock-In Thermography
(MDPI, 2021-09-28)
We present a complete characterization of the width and depth of a very narrow fatigue crack developed in an Al-alloy dog bone plate using laser-spot lock-in thermography. Unlike visible micrographs, which show many surface ...
3D Bioprinting of Functional Skin Substitutes: From Current Achievements to Future Goals
(MDPI, 2021-04-14)
The aim of this review is to present 3D bioprinting of skin substitutes as an efficient approach of managing skin injuries. From a clinical point of view, classic treatments only provide physical protection from the ...
