Viscosity Approximation Methods for * −Nonexpansive Multi-Valued Mappings in Convex Metric Spaces
(MDPI, 2020-01-17)
In this paper, we prove convergence theorems for viscosity approximation processes involving * −nonexpansive multi-valued mappings in complete convex metric spaces. We also consider finite and infinite families of such ...
A Malonyl-Based Scaffold for Conjugatable Multivalent Carbohydrate-BODIPY Presentations
(MDPI, 2019-06-01)
A concise synthetic route from methylmalonate to a tetravalent aliphatic scaffold has been developed. The ensuing tetra-tethered derivative is equipped with two hydroxyl groups, as well as orthogonal alkene and alkyne ...
Unlocking the Potential of Magnetotactic Bacteria as Magnetic Hyperthermia Agents
(Wiley, 2019-10)
Magnetotactic bacteria are aquatic microorganisms that internally biomineralize chains of magnetic nanoparticles (called magnetosomes) and use them as a compass. Here it is shown that magnetotactic bacteria of the strain ...
Spanish Validation of the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale–Short Form (IGDS9-SF): Prevalence and Relationship with Online Gambling and Quality of Life
(MDPI, 2020-02-28)
Online gaming is a very common form of leisure among adolescents and young people, although its excessive and/or compulsive use is associated with psychological impairments in a minority of gamers. The latest (fifth) edition ...
Cyberbullying in Gifted Students: Prevalence and Psychological Well-Being in a Spanish Sample
(MDPI, 2019-06-19)
The differential characteristics of gifted students can make them vulnerable to cyberbullying. There is very little empirical evidence about cyberbullying and giftedness. In the Spanish context, it is unexplored. The main ...
Tuning the Photonic Behavior of Symmetrical bis-BODIPY Architectures: The Key Role of the Spacer Moiety
(Frontiers Media, 2019-12)
Herein we describe the synthesis, computationally assisted spectroscopy, and lasing properties of a new library of symmetric bridged bis-BODIPYs that differ in the nature of the spacer. Access to a series of BODIPY dimers ...
Dynamics of Confined Short-Chain alkanol in MCM-41 by Dielectric Spectroscopy: Effects of matrix and system Treatments and Filling Factor
(MDPI, 2020-03-07)
The dynamics of n-propanol confined in regular MCM-41 matrix with the pore size Dpore = 40 Å, under various matrix conditioning and sample confining conditions, using broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS), is reported. ...
Influence of 4f filling on electronic and magnetic properties of rare earth-Au surface compounds
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-11-21)
One-atom-thick rare-earth/noble metal (RE-NM) compounds are attractive materials to investigate two-dimensional magnetism, since they are easy to synthesize into a common RE-NM2 structure with high crystal perfection. Here ...
Metallic thin films on stepped surfaces: lateral scattering of quantum well states
(IOP Publishing, 2014-12-10)
Quantum well states of Ag films grown on stepped Au(111) surfaces are shown to undergo lateral scattering, in analogy with surface states of vicinal Ag(111). Applying angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy we observe ...
Beta-Glucans Improve Growth, Viability and Colonization of Probiotic Microorganisms
(MDPI, 2012-05-18)
Probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics are frequently-used components for the elaboration of functional food. Currently, most of the commercialized probiotics are limited to a few strains of the genera Bifidobacteria, ...
