Niosome-Based Approach for In Situ Gene Delivery to Retina and Brain Cortex as Immune-Privileged Tissues
(MDPI, 2020-02-25)
Non-viral vectors have emerged as a promising alternative to viral gene delivery systems due to their safer profile. Among non-viral vectors, recently, niosomes have shown favorable properties for gene delivery, including ...
Off- and Online Heterosexual Dating Violence, Perceived Attachment to Parents and Peers and Suicide Risk in Young Women
(MDPI, 2020-05-02)
Dating violence (DV) is a public health problem among young people, especially women. It involves violent acts towards one’s partner and occurs face-to-face (offline) or through the Internet (online). Offline DV is linked ...
Middle Eocene Rhodoliths from Tropical and Mid-Latitude Regions
(MDPI, 2020-03-23)
During the greenhouse conditions prevailing in the early–middle Eocene, larger benthic foraminifers (LBF) spread out on carbonate platforms worldwide while rhodolith beds were scarcely represented. This reduction in ...
Compositional Characterization and Chronology of Roman Mortars from the Archaeological Site of Arroyo De La Dehesa De Velasco (Burgo De Osma- Ciudad De Osma, Soria, Spain)
(MDPI, 2020-04-28)
This study characterises the mortar materials used in the construction of walls and floors at the Arroyo de la Dehesa de Velasco site, located near the Roman city of Uxama Argaela (the modern Burgo de Osma—Ciudad de Osma, ...
Lignins from Agroindustrial by-Products as Natural Ingredients for Cosmetics: Chemical Structure and In Vitro Sunscreen and Cytotoxic Activities
(MDPI, 2020-03-03)
The growing concern about the environmental impact and human health risk related to the excessive use of synthetic ingredients in cosmetics and topical formulations calls for the exploration of safe and sustainable natural ...
Petrographic and Chemical–Mineralogical Characterization of Mortars from the Cistern at Amaiur Castle (Navarre, Spain)
(MDPI, 2020-03-31)
Mortars from the cistern in Amaiur Castle (Navarre, Spain) were analysed to assess the mortar manufacturing process and application techniques. To this end, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ...
Ocean I3. Pedagogical Innovation for Sustainability
(MDPI, 2021-08-02)
Universities are undertaking transformation projects that align their work with the Sustainable Development Goals. This paper describes how Ocean I3, an educational innovation project that aims to reduce plastic in the ...
Litter Decomposition can be Reduced by Pesticide Effects on Detritivores and Decomposers: Implications for Tropical Stream Functioning
(Elsevier, 2021-04-28)
Understanding which factors affect the process of leaf litter decomposition is crucial if we are to predict
changes in the functioning of stream ecosystems as a result of human activities. One major activity with
known ...
Porous TiO2 thin film-based photocatalytic windows for an enhanced operation of optofluidic microreactors in CO2 conversion
(Elsevier, 2021-06-25)
[EN] Using a photocatalytic window can simplify the design of an optofluidic microreactor, providing also a more straightforward operation. Therefore, the development of TiO2coatings on glass substrates seems appealing, ...
Green Alternative Cosolvents to N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone in Water Polyurethane Dispersions
(Royal Society Of Chemistry, 2021-06-05)
N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone is a toxic dipolar aprotic solvent widely used in the synthesis of polyurethane dispersions (PUD). Since legislation strongly restricts this substance, green alternatives are essential. Dihydrolevo ...
