State-of-the-art and challenges of non-destructive techniques for in-situ radiological characterization of nuclear facilities to be dismantled
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
[EN]This paper reports on the state-of-the-art of the main non-destructive assay (NDA) techniques usually used for in-situ radiological characterization of nuclear facilities subject to a decommissioning programme. For the ...
The Positive Loop at Work: A Longitudinal Long-Term Study of Transformational Leadership, Group Passion, and Employee Results
(Frontiers Media, 2021-10-28)
[EN]Positive psychology and positive organizational behavior studies recognize that leadership is extremely important for generating positive well-being. Despite the frequently reported significant positive correlations, ...
One-pot green synthesis of antimicrobial chitosan derivative nanocomposites to control foodborne pathogens
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021-12-22)
Food contamination by foodborne pathogens is considered a serious problem worldwide. This study aimed to show the efficacy of the one-pot green biosynthesis of nanocomposites as effective antimicrobial agents based on a ...
Designing Automated Deployment Strategies of Face Recognition Solutions in Heterogeneous IoT Platforms
(MDPI, 2021-12-20)
In this paper, we tackle the problem of deploying face recognition (FR) solutions in heterogeneous Internet of Things (IoT) platforms. The main challenges are the optimal deployment of deep neural networks (DNNs) in the ...
Recent Advances on 2D Materials towards 3D Printing
(MDPI, 2021-11-06)
In recent years, 2D materials have been implemented in several applications due to their unique and unprecedented properties. Several examples can be named, from the very first, graphene, to transition-metal dichalcogenides ...
Multi-Response Optimization of Abrasive Waterjet Machining of Ti6Al4V Using Integrated Approach of Utilized Heat Transfer Search Algorithm and RSM
(MDPI, 2021-12-15)
Machining of Titanium alloys (Ti6Al4V) becomes more vital due to its essential role in biomedical, aerospace, and many other industries owing to the enhanced engineering properties. In the current study, a Box–Behnken ...
Adhesive and Magnetic Properties of Polyvinyl Butyral Composites with Embedded Metallic Nanoparticles
(MDPI, 2021-12-12)
Magnetic metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) of Ni, Ni82Fe18, Ni50Fe50, Ni64Fe36, and Fe were prepared by the technique of the electrical explosion of metal wire. The average size of the MNPs of all types was in the interval of ...
Astrocyte dystrophy in ageing brain parallels impaired synaptic plasticity
(2021-03)
Little is known about age-dependent changes in structure and function of astrocytes and of the impact of these on the cognitive decline in the senescent brain. The prevalent view on the age-dependent increase in reactive ...
Measurement of time-dependent CP violation parameters in B0→K0SK0SK0S decays at Belle
(American Physical Society, 2021-02-08)
We measure the time-dependent CP violation parameters in B-0 -> (KSKSKS0)-K-0-K-0 decays using 772 x 10(6)B (B) over bar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy ...
Epigenetic Landscape in Blood Leukocytes Following Ketosis and Weight Loss Induced by a Very Low Calorie Ketogenic Diet (VLCKD) in Patients with Obesity
(Elsevier, 2021-05-21)
Background: The molecular mechanisms underlying the potential health benefits of a ketogenic diet are
unknown and could be mediated by epigenetic mechanisms.
Objective: To identify the changes in the obesity-related ...
