Motility Control of Symbionts and Organelles by the Eukaryotic Cell: The Handling of the Motile Capacity of Individual Parts Forges a Collective Biological Identity
(Frontiers Media, 2019-09-10)
Motility occupies a decisive role in an organism's ability to autonomously interact with its environment. However, collective biological organizations exhibit individual parts, which have temporally or definitively lost ...
Evaluation of the Sportsmanship-Aggression Continuum in Youth Football
(Universitat de les Illes Balears, 2019)
[ENG] Given the importance of sport in modern society, it is essential that appropriate instruments are available for the assessment of both fair play and unfair play in the sport of football, particularly in the context ...
Enhancing Confusion Entropy (CEN) for Binary and Multiclass Classification
(Universita Di Palermo, 2019-01-14)
Different performance measures are used to assess the behaviour, and to carry out the comparison, of classifiers in Machine Learning. Many measures have been defined on the literature, and among them, a measure inspired ...
Predictors for functional and anatomic outcomes in macular edema secondary to non-infectious uveitis
(Public Library Science, 2019-01-24)
Aims
We aimed to investigate predictive factors for visual and anatomic outcomes in patients with macular edema secondary to non-infectious uveitis.
Material and methods
We conducted a multicenter, prospective, ...
Fine-Tuning of Sirtuin 1 Expression Is Essential to Protect the Liver From Cholestatic Liver Disease
(Wiley, 2019-02)
Cholestasis comprises aetiologically heterogeneous conditions characterized by accumulation of bile acids in the liver that actively contribute to liver damage. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) regulates liver regeneration and bile acid ...
Racetrack potentials and the de Sitter swampland conjectures
(Springer, 2019-01)
We show that one can find de Sitter critical points (saddle points) in models of flux compactification of Type IIB String Theory without any uplifting terms and in the presence of several moduli. We demonstrate this by ...
Highlights of the 2nd International Symposium on Tribbles and Diseases: Tribbles Tremble in Therapeutics for Immunity, Metabolism, Fundamental Cell Biology and Cancer
(Institute of Materia Medica, 2019-03)
The Tribbles (TRIB) family of pseudokinase proteins has been shown to play key roles in cell cycle, metabolic diseases, chronic inflammatory disease, and cancer development. A better understanding of the mechanisms of TRIB ...
Application of Solid Lipid Nanoparticles to Improve the Efficiency of Anticancer Drugs
(MDPI, 2019-03-22)
Drug delivery systems have opened new avenues to improve the therapeutic effects of already-efficient molecules. Particularly, Solid Lipid Nanoparticles (SLNs) have emerged as promising nanocarriers in cancer therapy. SLNs ...
Solid Lipid Nanoparticles Surface Modification Modulates Cell Internalization and Improves Chemotoxic Treatment in an Oral Carcinoma Cell Line
(MDPI, 2019-03-20)
Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) present low toxicity, versatility to incorporate both lipophilic and hydrophilic drugs, controlled drug release and they are easy to scale-up. It is well known that the endocytosis pathway ...
Two-Stage Multi-Objective Meta-Heuristics for Environmental and Cost-Optimal Energy Refurbishment at District Level
(MDPI, 2019-03-01)
Energy efficiency and environmental performance optimization at the district level are following an upward trend mostly triggered by minimizing the Global Warming Potential (GWP) to 20% by 2020 and 40% by 2030 settled by ...
