Fishing diseased abalone to promote yield and conservation
(The Royal Society Publishing, 2016)
Past theoretical models suggest fishing disease-impacted stocks can reduce parasite transmission, but this is a good management strategy only when the exploitation required to reduce transmission does not overfish the ...
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, ...
Striatal-enriched protein tyrosine phosphatase modulates nociception: evidence from genetic deletion and pharmacological inhibition
(International Association for the Study of Pain, 2016-02)
The information from nociceptors is processed in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord by complex circuits involving excitatory and inhibitory interneurons. It is well documented that GluN2B and ERK1/2 phosphorylation contributes ...
Stability of an acid activated carbon based bifunctional catalyst for the raw bio-oil hydrodeoxygenation
(Elsevier, 2016-10-11)
The performance (activity, selectivity and stability) of a Pt-Pd catalyst supported on a phosphorus-containing activated carbon (ACP) has been studied in the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of raw bio-oil, and compared with another ...
