Influence of the calcination temperature on the activity of hydroxyapatite-supported palladium catalyst in the methane oxidation reaction
(Elsevier, 2020-06-26)
In the present study, a series of four hydroxyapatite (HAP) supported palladium samples, with a Pd loading close to 0.5 %, obtained through their calcination at 773, 873, 973, or 1073 K has been investigated. These samples ...
Population Pharmacokinetics of Levetiracetam and Dosing Evaluation in Critically Ill Patients with Normal or Augmented Renal Function
(MDPI, 2021-10-15)
Levetiracetam is a broad-spectrum antiepileptic drug commonly used in intensive care units (ICUs). The objective of this study is to evaluate the adequacy of levetiracetam dosing in patients with normal or augmented renal ...
Is segmental foreign accent perceived categorically?
(Elsevier, 2020-01-15)
The second language learning process involves acquisition of sounds that differ to varying degrees from the sounds of a learner’s native language. Learners’ productions are strongly influenced by their native language par- ...
How reliable are online speech intelligibility studies with known listener cohorts?
(AIP, 2021-08-25)
Although the use of nontraditional settings for speech perception experiments is growing, there have been few controlled comparisons of online and laboratory modalities in the context of speech intelligibility. The current ...
The study of language learning in multilingual education: students’ perceptions of their language learning experience in Basque, Spanish and English
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2020)
This paper focuses on teaching techniques for language learning as
related to student satisfaction on multilingual compulsory
education in the Basque Autonomous Community (BAC), where
Basque and Spanish are official ...
Cholesterol Efflux Efficiency of Reconstituted HDL Is Affected by Nanoparticle Lipid Composition
(MDPI, 2020-09-23)
Cardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading cause of mortality worldwide is primarily caused by atherosclerosis, which is promoted by the accumulation of low-density lipoproteins into the intima of large arteries. Multiple ...
Novel Transcript Discovery Expands the Repertoire of Pathologically-Associated, Long Non-Coding RNAs in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells
(MDPI, 2021-02-02)
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) provide vital contractile force within blood vessel walls, yet can also propagate cardiovascular pathologies through proliferative and pro-inflammatory activities. Such phenotypes are ...
BIRC6 Is Associated with Vulnerability of Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaque
(MDPI, 2020-12-09)
Carotid atherosclerotic plaque rupture can lead to cerebrovascular accident (CVA). By comparing RNA-Seq data from vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) extracted from carotid atheroma surgically excised from a group of ...
Design, characterization and evaluation of Ce-modified cobalt catalysts supported on alpha alumina in the abatement of methane emissions from natural gas engines.
(Elsevier, 2021-03-22)
This work deals with the optimisation of Ce-promoted Co3O4 catalysts supported on alpha alumina for the oxidation of traces amounts of methane. Ten Co-Ce samples were synthesised by incipient wetness coimpregnation with ...
Effect of consumers’ origin on perceived sensory quality, liking and liking drivers: A cross-cultural study on European cheeses
(Elsevier Ltd., 2020)
We aim at studying consumers’ Perceived Sensory Quality (PSQ) concept. We manipulated a priori both familiarity
(contrast local vs. foreign cheeses) and quality level (contrast PDO or traditional cheeses vs. their non-
PDO ...
