Overhead line ampacity forecasting with a focus on safety
(IEEE, 2021-02-16)
Predictions of the ampacity of overhead lines can be framed in a general context that aims to make electric grids highly efficient and reliable. In this paper, a methodology is presented that provides ampacity forecasts, ...
Chemical, Thermal and Antioxidant Properties of Lignins Solubilized during Soda/AQ Pulping of Orange and Olive Tree Pruning Residues
(MDPI, 2021-06-23)
Some agroforestry residues such as orange and olive tree pruning have been extensively evaluated for their valorization due to its high carbohydrates content. However, lignin-enriched residues generated during carbohydrates ...
Lactide-Valerolactone Copolymers for Packaging Applications
(MDPI, 2021-12-23)
Lactide-valerolactone copolymers have potential application in the packaging sector. Different copolymers were synthesized, and the kinetics of the copolymerization reactions and the microstructure of the copolymers were ...
Matching Rheology, Conductivity and Joule Effect in PU/CNT Nanocomposites
(MDPI, 2021-03-19)
We investigated polyurethane (PU)–carbon nanotube (CNT) nanocomposites (PU/CNT) in a range of concentrations from 1 to 8 wt% CNT as hot melt adhesives. We studied the thermal properties of the nanocomposites, which is ...
Toward Pricing Financial Derivatives with an IBM Quantum Computer
(American Physical Society, 2021-02-22)
Pricing interest-rate financial derivatives is a major problem in finance, in which it is crucial to accurately reproduce the time evolution of interest rates. Several stochastic dynamics have been proposed in the literature ...
Mini Wind Harvester and a Low Power Three-Phase AC/DC Converter to Power IoT Devices: Analysis, Simulation, Test and Design
(MDPI, 2020-09-11)
Wind energy harvesting is a widespread mature technology employed to collect energy, but it is also suitable, and not yet fully exploited at small scale, for powering low power electronic systems such as Internet of Things ...
How Do People Move Around? National Data on Transport Modal Shares for 131 Countries
(MDPI, 2020-06-18)
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought global mobility into the spotlight, with well over 100 countries having instituted either a full or partial lockdown by April 2020. Reduced mobility, whilst causing social and economic ...
Multi-Omics Integration Highlights the Role of Ubiquitination in CCl4-Induced Liver Fibrosis
(MDPI, 2020-11-27)
Liver fibrosis is the excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins that occurs in chronic liver disease. Ubiquitination is a post-translational modification that is crucial for a plethora of physiological ...
Neddylation inhibition ameliorates steatosis in NAFLD by boosting hepatic fatty acid oxidation via DEPTOR-mTOR axis
(Elsevier, 2021-06-18)
[EN] Objective: Neddylation is a druggable and reversible ubiquitin-like post-translational modification upregulated in many diseases, including liver
fibrosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and more recently, non-alcoholic ...
FOSL1 promotes cholangiocarcinoma via transcriptional effectors that could be therapeutically targeted
(Elsevier, 2021-04-20)
[EN] Background & Aims: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a neoplasia of
the biliary tract driven by genetic, epigenetic and transcriptional
mechanisms. Herein, we investigated the role of the transcription
factor FOSL1, as ...
