Chemical Upcycling of PET Waste towards Terephthalate Redox Nanoparticles for Energy Storage
(MDPI, 2021-11-03)
Over 30 million ton of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is produced each year and no more than 60% of all PET bottles are reclaimed for recycling due to material property deteriorations during the mechanical recycling ...
Candidiasis by Candida glabrata, Candida nivariensis and Candida bracarensis in Galleria mellonella: Virulence and Therapeutic Responses to Echinocandins
(MDPI, 2021-11-23)
Candida albicans is the major etiological agent of invasive candidiasis but the increasing prevalence of emerging species of Candida, such as Candida glabrata and phylogenetically closely related species, Candida nivariensis ...
Single-ion lithium conducting polymers with high ionic conductivity based on borate pendant groups
(Wiley, 2021-12-29)
This communication reports a family of single-ion lithium conducting polymer electrolytes based on highly delocalized borate groups is reported. The effect of the nature of the substituents on the boron atom on the ionic ...
An alternative experimental methodology to determine the diagonal cracking resistance of steel-reinforced concrete beams
(Elsevier, 2021-10-01)
[EN]An alternative experimental method for predicting the diagonal shear cracking resistance of steel-reinforced concrete beams is developed in this paper. Conventional extensometric strain-gauge rosettes are placed on the ...
Identification of proximal SUMO-dependent interactors using SUMO-ID
(Nature Research, 2021-11-18)
[EN]The fast dynamics and reversibility of posttranslational modifications by the ubiquitin family pose significant challenges for research. Here we present SUMO-ID, a technology that merges proximity biotinylation by ...
In vitro activities of carvacrol, cinnamaldehyde and thymol against Candida biofilms
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
[EN]Oral candidiasis is frequently associated with Candida biofilms. Biofilms are microbial communities related to persistent, recalcitrant and difficult to-treat infections. Conventional treatments are not sufficient to ...
Protocols used to determine the influence of backpack load on physiological variables. Systematic review
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
[EN]Professional mountain rescue mountain groups use backpack equipment in their professional activities. The velocity of ambulation, gradient, load and the participant's physical characteristics have been described in the ...
Organic batteries based on just redox polymers
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
[EN]Redox-active polymers have gained interest as environmentally friendly alternative to inorganic materials in applications such as electrodes in lithium-ion batteries. All-polymer batteries were first disregarded with ...
Connectivity and Population Structure of Albacore Tuna Across Southeast Atlantic and Southwest Indian Oceans Inferred from Multidisciplinary Methodology
(Nature, 2020-09-24)
Albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga) is an important target of tuna fisheries in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. The commercial catch of albacore is the highest globally among all temperate tuna species, contributing around ...
Exclusive Substitutional Nitrogen Doping on Graphene Decoupled from an Insulating Substrate
(American Chemical Society, 2020-10-08)
The on-surface synthesis of atomically flat N-doped graphene on oxidized copper is presented. Besides circumventing the almost standard use of metallic substrates for growth, this method allows producing graphene with ...
