Accurate Determination of the Q Quality Factor in Magnetoelastic Resonant Platforms for Advanced Biological Detection
(MDPI, 2018-03)
The main parameters of magnetoelastic resonators in the detection of chemical (i.e., salts, gases, etc.) or biological (i.e., bacteria, phages, etc.) agents are the sensitivity S (or external agent change magnitude per Hz ...
Classification and categorization of the constrained environments in nuclear/radiological installations under decommissioning and dismantling processes
(Pergamon-Elsevier, 2020-06)
INSIDER is an EU Horizon 2020 research project, within the topic NFRP-7 of the EURATOM programme, that aims to develop and validate a new and improved integrated characterization methodology and strategy for the nuclear ...
Biosulfidogenesis Mediates Natural Attenuation in Acidic Mine Pit Lakes
(MDPI, 2020-08-21)
Acidic pit lakes are abandoned open pit mines filled with acid mine drainage (AMD)—highly acidic, metalliferous waters that pose a severe threat to the environment and are rarely properly remediated. Here, we investigated ...
A Telerehabilitation System for the Selection, Evaluation and Remote Management of Therapies
(MDPI, 2018-05)
Telerehabilitation systems that support physical therapy sessions anywhere can help save healthcare costs while also improving the quality of life of the users that need rehabilitation. The main contribution of this paper ...
Accuracy in Copy Number Calling by qPCR and PRT : A Matter of DNA
(Public Library of Science, 2011-12-13)
The possible implication of copy number variation (CNV) in the genetic susceptibility to human disease needs to be assessed using robust methods that can be applied at a population scale. In this report, we analyze the ...
Triazole-Directed Pd-Catalyzed C(sp2)–H Oxygenation of Arenes and Alkenes
(ACS Publications, 2016-02-24)
Selective Pd-catalyzed C(sp2)–H oxygenation of 4-substituted 1,2,3-triazoles is described. Unlike previous metal-catalyzed C–H functionalization events, which preferentially occur at the activated heterocyclic C–H bond, ...
Clarifying Deeper Psychological Characteristics of Hikikomori Using the Rorschach Comprehensive System: A Pilot Case-Control Study
(Frontiers Media, 2019-06-13)
Hikikomori, a form of severe social withdrawal more than 6 months, has increasingly become a crucial issue especially among adolescents. Loneliness, avoidant personality, Japanese culture-related attachment style ("amae"), ...
An Optical Fiber Bundle Sensor for Tip Clearance and Tip Timing Measurements in a Turbine Rig
(MDPI, 2013-06)
When it comes to measuring blade-tip clearance or blade-tip timing in turbines, reflective intensity-modulated optical fiber sensors overcome several traditional limitations of capacitive, inductive or discharging probe ...
Contributing to Fisheries Sustainability: Inequality Analysis in the High Seas Catches of Countries
(MDPI, 2019-06-01)
The uneven exploitation of scarce natural resources threatens their sustainability by altering the commitment of agents. In fisheries, a great portion of catches is known to be concentrated in a few countries. Aiming to ...
Wnt signaling reprograms metabolism in dental pulp stem cells
(Wiley, 2019-08)
Human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) can differentiate to a wide range of different cell lineages, and share some gene expression and functional similarities with pluripotent stem cells. The stemness of DPSCs can also be ...
