Thermally-responsive biopolyurethanes from a biobased diisocyanate
(Elsevier, 2015-09)
In this work, segmented biopolyurethanes with thermally-activated shape-memory properties were synthesized and characterized. All the employed starting materials were derived from renewable sources. The macrodiol, which ...
Time Trends in Serum Organochlorine Pesticides and Polychlorinated Biphenyls in the General Population of Biscay, Spain
(Springer, 2015-01)
Despite the measures adopted, levels of organochlorine compounds (OCs) are still being detected in the human body. This study aimed to explore factors related to changes in the concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls ...
Photoactive self-cleaning polymer coatings by TiO2 nanoparticle Pickering miniemulsion polymerization
(2015-06-23)
Titanium dioxide Pickering stabilized methyl methacrylate/n-butyl acrylate (MMA/BA) copolymer latexes were synthesized by miniemulsion polymerization. The particle size of the hybrid latexes was controlled by the concentration ...
Selective placement of magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles into the lamellar nanostructure of PS-b-PMMA diblock copolymer
(Elsevier, 2015-04-27)
The aim of this work is to obtain a good and selective dispersion of Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles into the lamellar morphology of PS-b-PMMA diblock copolymer. The addition of unmodified nanoparticles inhibited the formation ...
Down-regulation of BDNF in cell and animal models increases striatal-enriched protein tyrosine phosphatase 61 (STEP61) levels
(Wiley, 2015-08-28)
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) regulates synaptic strengthening and memory consolidation, and altered BDNF expression is implicated in a number of neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. BDNF potentiates ...
Simultaneous catalytic de-polymerization and hydrodeoxygenation of lignin in water/formic acid media with Rh/Al2O3, Ru/Al2O3 and Pd/Al2O3 as bifunctional catalysts
(Elsevier, 2015-04-28)
[EN] The catalytic solvolysis of 3 lignins of different sources in a formic acid/water media using bifunctional Ru/Al2O3, Rh/Al2O3, Pd/Al2O3 catalysts was explored in a batch set-up at different temperatures and reaction ...
Genetic Variants in MiRNA Processing Genes and Pre-MiRNAs Are Associated with the Risk of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
(Public Library Science, 2015-03-20)
Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several low-penetrance susceptibility alleles in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Nevertheless, these studies scarcely study regions that are implicated in non-coding ...
Study of the influence of reutilization ionic liquid on lignin extraction
(Elsevier, 2015-04-09)
The development of green techniques for biomass processing and fractionation is crucial from the point of view of sustainability and environmental protection. Lignin is the second most abundant bio-renewable material on ...
Spin transport enhancement by controlling the Ag growth in lateral spin valves
(IOP publishing, 2015-04-21)
The role of the growth conditions onto the spin transport properties of silver (Ag) have been studied by using lateral spin valve structures. By changing the deposition conditions of Ag from polycrystalline to epitaxial ...
Polymorphisms in miRNA processing genes and their role in osteosarcoma risk
(Wiley, 2015-02-07)
Background
The possible associations between genetic variants and osteosarcoma risk have been analyzed without conclusive results. Those studies were focused mainly on genes of biologically plausible pathways. However, ...
