Cell-Centric View of Apoptosis and Apoptotic Cell Death-Inducing Antitumoral Strategies
(MDPI, 2011-03-03)
Programmed cell death and especially apoptotic cell death, occurs under physiological conditions and is also desirable under pathological circumstances. However, the more we learn about cellular signaling cascades, the ...
The continuity of Roman water supply systems in Post-Roman Spain: the case of Valentia, a reliable example?
(Arkeogazte: Asociación de Jóvenes Investigadores en Arqueología Prehistórica e Histórica, 2011)
[EN] Even if the general assumption is that Roman water supply systems (aqueducts in particular) ceased to function during the late Roman period, and that these were not present in medieval cities, recent archaeological ...
The present state of Archaeology: interview with Martin Carver
(Arkeogazte: Asociación de Jóvenes Investigadores en Arqueología Prehistórica e Histórica, 2011)
The IRYSS-COPD appropriateness study: objectives, methodology, and description of the prospective cohort
(BioMed Central, 2011-11)
Background: Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often experience exacerbations of the disease that require hospitalization. Current guidelines offer little guidance for identifying patients whose ...
Effect of Molecular Flexibility on the Nematic-to-Isotropic Phase Transition for Highly Biaxial Molecular Non-Symmetric Liquid Crystal Dimers
(MDPI, 2011-10)
In this work, a study of the nematic (N)-isotropic (I) phase transition has been made in a series of odd non-symmetric liquid crystal dimers, the alpha-(4-cyanobiphenyl-4'-yloxy)-omega-(1-pyrenimine-benzylidene-4'-oxy) ...
A Featureless Approach to 3D Polyhedral Building Modeling from Aerial Images
(MDPI, 2011)
This paper presents a model-based approach for reconstructing 3D polyhedral building models from aerial images. The proposed approach exploits some geometric and photometric properties resulting from the perspective ...
In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation of a Folate-Targeted Copolymeric Submicrohydrogel Based on N-Isopropylacrylamide as 5-Fluorouracil Delivery System
(MDPI, 2011-09)
Folate-targeted poly[(p-nitrophenyl acrylate)-co-(N-isopropylacrylamide)] nanohydrogel (F-SubMG) was loaded with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) to obtain low (16.3 +/- 1.9 mu g 5-FU/mg F-SubMG) and high (46.8 +/- 3.8 mu g 5-FU/mg ...
Resveratrol prevents inflammation-dependent hepatic melanoma metastasis by inhibiting the secretion and effects of interleukin-18
(BioMed Central, 2011-05)
Background: Implantation and growth of metastatic cancer cells at distant organs is promoted by inflammation-dependent mechanisms. A hepatic melanoma metastasis model where a majority of metastases are generated via ...
Clinical factors associated with a Candida albicans Germ Tube Antibody positive test in Intensive Care Unit patients
(BioMed Central, 2011-03)
Background: Poor outcomes of invasive candidiasis (IC) are associated with the difficulty in establishing the microbiological diagnosis at an early stage. New scores and laboratory tests have been developed in order to ...
Pumped double quantum dot with spin-orbit coupling
(Springer, 2011-03)
We study driven by an external electric field quantum orbital and spin dynamics of electron in a one-dimensional double quantum dot with spin-orbit coupling. Two types of external perturbation are considered: a periodic ...
