MLb-LDLr: A Machine Learning Model for Predicting the Pathogenicity of LDLr Missense Variants
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
Untreated familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) leads to atherosclerosis and early cardiovascular disease. Mutations in the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLr) gene constitute the major cause of FH, and the high number ...
Use of Temperature Controlled Stage Confocal Raman Microscopy to Study Phase Transition of Lead Dioxide (Plattnerite)
(MDPI, 2020-05-21)
The present work concerns the study of the phase transition of plattnerite [β-PbO2 lead (IV) oxide]-based samples when they are analysed by Raman spectroscopy. The laser-induced degradation process was carried out either ...
Optical fiber interferometer for temperature-independent refractive index measuring over a broad range
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
The present work relates to manufacturing of a simple interferometric optical fiber refractometer that features broad refractive index measuring range without ambiguity. The device consists of a cylindrical polymer cavity ...
Temperature dependence of the rate coefficient of formation of CN radical from C + NH
(Elsevier, 2021-05)
Rate coefficients of the complex-forming C + NHH + CN reaction have been calculated at temperatures ranging from 5 K to 800 K using quasi-classical trajectories on a potential energy surface which accurately describes the ...
A feasibility study of the installation of a modular bioreactor inside a chemical scrubber at a wastewater treatment plant
(Elsevier, 2021-03)
Chemical scrubbing and biofiltration are well-established technologies for treating contaminated pollutants generated at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Nevertheless, the growing need to reduce the ecological footprint ...
3D printed alginate-cellulose nanofibers based patches for local curcumin administration
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
Alginate and nanocellulose are potential biomaterials to be employed as bioinks for three-dimensional (3D) printing. Alginate-cellulose nanofibers (A-CNF) formulations with CNF amounts up to 5 wt% were developed and ...
Fast and efficient address search in System-on-a-Programmable-Chip using binary trees
(Elsevier, 2021-12)
One processing task in Ethernet nodes is to manage Media Access Control (MAC) addresses: search, insert new, and delete old ones. For this purpose, Content-Addressable Memorys (CAMs) offer low latency and no collisions; ...
Survival in the Intensive Care Unit: A prognosis model based on Bayesian classifiers
(Elsevier, 2021-05)
We develop a predictive prognosis model to support medical experts in their clinical decision-making process in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) (a) to enhance early mortality prediction, (b) to make more efficient medical ...
In line upgrading of biomass fast pyrolysis products using low-cost catalysts
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
Biomass pyrolysis and the in-line catalytic cracking of the pyrolysis volatile stream has been approached in this study. The pyrolysis step was carried out in a conical spouted bed reactor at 500 °C, whereas the inert sand ...
On the relationship between cutting forces and anisotropy features in the milling of LPBF Inconel 718 for near net shape parts
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
The versatility and potential applications of additive manufacturing have accelerated the development of additive/subtractive hybrid manufacturing methods. LPBF processes are exceptionally efficient at producing complex-shaped, ...
