The Shannon Entropy Trend of a Fish System Estimated by a Machine Vision Approach Seems to Reflect the Molar Se:Hg Ratio of Its Feed
(MDPI, 2018-01-29)
The present study investigates the suitability of a machine vision-based method to detect deviations in the Shannon entropy (SE) of a European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) biological system fed with different selenium: ...
Tuning Light Emission towards White Light from a Naphthalenediimide-Based Entangled Metal-Organic Framework by Mixing Aromatic Guest Molecules
(MDPI, 2018-02)
Taking advantage of the outstanding properties of a naphthalenediimide-based entangled porous coordination polymer, a simple strategy for the achievement of white light emission is herein presented. The dynamic structural ...
Firm Size and the Business Model for Sustainable Innovation
(MDPI, 2018-12-14)
Companies innovate towards sustainability because this may allow them to improve both their socio-environmental and economic performance. Firms that lead the way evolve towards a sustainable business model. However, small ...

(Wiley, 2018-10)
At the crossroads of chemistry, electronics, mechanical engineering, polymer science, biology, tissue engineering, computer science, and materials science, electrical devices are currently being engineered that blend ...
Insights Into SND1 Oncogene Promoter Regulation
(Frontiers Media SA, 2018-12-11)
The staphylococcal nuclease and Tudor domain containing 1 gene (SND1), also known as Tudor-SN, TSN or p100, encodes an evolutionarily conserved protein with invariant domain composition. SND1 contains four repeated ...
Super Abrasive Machining of Integral Rotary Components Using Grinding Flank Tools
(MDPI, 2018-01-01)
Manufacturing techniques that are applied to turbomachinery components represent a challenge in the aeronautic sector. These components require high resistant super-alloys in order to satisfy the extreme working conditions ...
Variation in the Climate Sensitivity Dependent on Neighbourhood Composition in a Secondary Mixed Forest
(MDPI, 2018-01-20)
Understanding the vulnerability of individual trees to climate requires moving from population to individual level. This study evaluates individual tree response in a mixed forest by assessing how size and neighbourhood ...
Plasma Rich in Growth Factors Membrane as Coadjuvant Treatment in the Surgery of Ocular Surface Disorders
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2018-04)
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the surgical use of plasma rich in growth factors fibrin membrane (mPRGF) in different ocular surface pathologies.Fifteen patients with different corneal and conjunctival diseases ...
Differential profile of protein expression on human keratocytes treated with autologous serum and plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF)
(Public Library Science, 2018-10-12)
Purpose
The main objective of this study is to compare the protein expression of human keratocytes treated with Plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) or autologous serum (AS) and previously induced to myofibroblast by ...
Preparation and Characterization of Resveratrol Loaded Pectin/Alginate Blend Gastro-Resistant Microparticles
(MDPI, 2018-08)
Background: The use of resveratrol as a dietary supplement is limited because it is easily oxidized and, after oral ingestion, it is metabolized into enterocytes and hepatocytes. Thus, new formulations are needed in order ...
