In Vitro Synergistic Interactions of Isavuconazole and Echinocandins against Candida auris
(MDPI, 2021-03-28)
Candida auris is an emergent fungal pathogen that causes severe infectious outbreaks globally. The public health concern when dealing with this pathogen is mainly due to reduced susceptibility to current antifungal drugs. ...
Affordance-Based Grasping Point Detection Using Graph Convolutional Networks for Industrial Bin-Picking Applications
(MDPI, 2021-01-26)
Grasping point detection has traditionally been a core robotic and computer vision problem. In recent years, deep learning based methods have been widely used to predict grasping points, and have shown strong generalization ...
Influence of Chemical Structures on Isodimorphic Behavior of Three Different Copolycarbonate Random Copolymer Series
(American Chemical Society, 2020-01-10)
Three series of aliphatic random copolycarbonates, poly(heptane-co-dodecane carbonate) P7C-P12C, poly(butane-co-dodecane carbonate) P4C-P12C and poly(butane-co-heptane carbonate) P4C-P7C, were synthesized by two-step ...
Chemical Structure Drives Memory Effects in the Crystallization of Homopolymers
(ACS, 2020-06-11)
Although the study of melt memory has attracted much interest, the effect of polymer chemical structure on its origin has not been fully elucidated. In this work, we study melt memory effects by Differential Scanning ...
Solid–Solid Crystal Transitions (δ to α) in Poly(hexamethylene carbonate) and Poly(octamethylene carbonate)
(ACS, 2021-07-21)
Poly (hexamethylene carbonate) (PC6) and poly (octamethylene carbonate) (PC8) were studied under different crystallization conditions. Using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), a new solid-solid transition, denoted α ...
Self-nucleation Effects on Polymer Crystallization
(ACS, 2020-05-28)
The existence of a “memory” of the previous crystalline state, which survives melting and enhances re-crystallization kinetics by a self-nucleation process, is well-known in polymer crystallization studies. Despite being ...
Rheology of Polymer Processing in Spain (1995–2020)
(MDPI, 2021-07-14)
The contribution of Spanish scientists to the rheology involved in polymer processing during the last 25 years is investigated. It is shown that the performed research covers, at different levels, all industrial polymeric ...
A Generic ROS-Based Control Architecture for Pest Inspection and Treatment in Greenhouses Using a Mobile Manipulator
(IEEE, 2021-07-12)
To meet the demands of a rising population greenhouses must face the challenge of producing more in a more efficient and sustainable way. Innovative mobile robotic solutions with flexible navigation and manipulation ...
Competition between Chain Extension and Crosslinking in Polyamide 1012 during High Temperature Thermal Treatments as Revealed by SSA Fractionation
(ACS, 2021-08-03)
Self-nucleation and annealing (SSA) is an efficient way to thermally fractionate semi-crystalline polymers. The thermal fractions produced by SSA have distinct melting points that correspond to different average lamellar ...
Peculiar self-nucleation behavior of a polybutene-1/ethylene random copolymer
(Wiley, 2021-07-31)
The self-nucleation behavior of a polybutene-1/ethylene random copolymer, P(B1-ran-E), which undergoes a complex crystal-crystal transition behavior, has been studied in detail. Similar to PE random copolymers, this material ...
