Pharmacokinetic Modeling of Paracetamol Uptake and Clearance in Zebrafish Larvae: Expanding the Allometric Scale in Vertebrates with Five Orders of Magnitude
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2016-12-01)
Zebrafish larvae (Danio rerio) are increasingly used to translate findings regarding drug efficacy and safety from in vitro-based assays to vertebrate species, including humans. However, the limited understanding of drug ...
Mediacentric spaces and physical spaces in minority language use: A case study on the Basque language press
(Intellect Discover, 2016)
In an era when the relationship between communications and physical spaces has been deeply modified, one must wonder about how these changes affect the dynamics of minority languages whose speakers are scattered throughout ...
Salt Damage and Rising Damp Treatment in Building Structures
(Hindawi, 2016-12-15)
Salt damage can affect the service life of numerous building structures, both historical and contemporary, in a significant way. In this review, various damage mechanisms to porous building materials induced by salt action ...
Shape-memory properties of crosslinked biobased polyurethanes
(2016-03-25)
Biobased crosslinked polyurethanes were synthesized and characterized as shape-memory polymers. Both the macrodiol and the diisocyanate were derived from renewable sources; the first one from castor oil, and the second one ...
Self-compacting concrete incorporating electric arc-furnace steelmaking slag as aggregate
(Elsevier, 2016-11-17)
Electric arc-furnace slag (EAFS) is an industrial by-product that can be employed in hydraulic mixes used in the field of construction and civil engineering. The design and preparation of self-compacting mixes with this ...
Quantifying wheelchair basketball match load: a comparison of heart-rate and perceived-exertion methods.
(Human Kinetics, 2016-05)
Purpose: To describe the objective and subjective match load (ML) of wheelchair basketball (WB) and determine the relationship between session heart-rate (HR) -based ML and rating-of-perceived-exertion (RPE) -based ML ...
Properties of Hydrophilic Mineral Wool for Desalination of Historical Masonry
(Kaunas University of Technology, 2016-01-20)
Hydrophilic mineral wool (HMW) is considered as a possible alternative to the commonly used cellulose in desalination of historical masonry. HMW also allows water and salt solutions transport along the hydrophilic fibres, ...
Genetic and environmental influences on adult human height across birth cohorts from 1886 to 1994
(eLife Sciences Publications, 2016-12-14)
Human height variation is determined by genetic and environmental factors, but it
remains unclear whether their influences differ across birth-year cohorts. We conducted an
individual-based pooled analysis of 40 twin ...
Genetic and environmental influences on height from infancy to early adulthood: An individualbased pooled analysis of 45 twin cohorts
(Nature Research, 2016-06-23)
Height variation is known to be determined by both genetic and environmental factors, but a
systematic description of how their influences differ by sex, age and global regions is lacking. We
conducted an individual-based ...
Thermo-radiative and optical properties of a cutting tool based on polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN)
(IOP Publishing, 2016-04-27)
The normal spectral emissivity of a cutting tool based on polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) between 400 °C and 1000 °C has been measured. Its shape shows significant differences with respect to that of pure cubic ...
