Atomically-Precise Texturing of Hexagonal Boron Nitride Nanostripes
(Wiley, 2021-09)
Monolayer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is attracting considerable attention because of its potential applications in areas such as nano- and opto-electronics, quantum optics and nanomagnetism. However, the implementation ...
Asymmetric Synthesis of Tetrasubstituted α-Aminophosphonic Acid Derivatives
(MDPI, 2021-05-27)
Due to their structural similarity with natural α-amino acids, α-aminophosphonic acid derivatives are known biologically active molecules. In view of the relevance of tetrasubstituted carbons in nature and medicine and the ...
Phosphinotripeptidic Inhibitors of Leucylaminopeptidases
(MDPI, 2021-05-11)
Phosphinate pseudopeptide are analogs of peptides containing phosphinate moiety in a place of the amide bond. Due to this, the organophosphorus fragment resembles the tetrahedral transition state of the amide bond hydrolysis. ...
Feasibility of Vermicomposting of Spent Coffee Grounds and Silverskin from Coffee Industries: A Laboratory Study
(MDPI, 2020-08-03)
In the coffee industry, several by-products are generated during the production and consumption of coffee and represent an important waste from an environmental viewpoint. For improving the knowledge about this issue, a ...
Reducing Passive Drug Diffusion from Electrophoretic DrugDelivery Devices through Co-Ion Engineering
(Wiley, 2021-06)
Implantable electrophoretic drug delivery devices have shown promise for applications ranging from treating pathologies such as epilepsy and cancer to regulating plant physiology. Upon applying a voltage, the devices ...
Valorization of Insulation Cellulose Waste as Solid Biomass Fuel
(MDPI, 2021-09-04)
This paper investigates the ability of insulation cellulose fiber powder (CFP) to be pelletized for its valorization as biomass fuel. CFP is a waste originating from insulation cellulose manufacturing that lacks any method ...
Stabilization of a Clay Soil Using Cementing Material from Spent Refractories and Ground-Granulated Blast Furnace Slag
(MDPI, 2021-03-10)
Nowadays, huge amounts of refractory materials are generated around the world. The majority of them lack valorization methods. This study analyzes the ability of a doloma and two magnesia spent refractory wastes as soil ...
Advanced Techniques for Fast and Accurate Heritage Digitisation in Multiple Case Studies
(MDPI, 2020-07-28)
All elements of heritage are exposed to more or less predictable risks. Even though they are in a good state of conservation with economic support for their repair or maintenance, they can suffer sudden accidents leading ...
Atomistic Insights of Calmodulin Gating of Complete Ion Channels
(MDPI, 2020-02-14)
Intracellular calcium is essential for many physiological processes, from neuronal signaling and exocytosis to muscle contraction and bone formation. Ca<sup>2+</sup> signaling from the extracellular medium depends both on ...
Undocumented Immigrants’ and Immigrant Women’s Access to Healthcare Services in the Basque Country (Spain)
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-01-01)
Background
Immigrant populations experience diverse barriers to access healthcare services in the host countries. Among them, undocumented immigrants have more restricted legal access conditions and higher risk of having ...
