Genetic Characterization of the Local Pirenaica Cattle for Parentage and Traceability Purposes
(MDPI, 2020-09-05)
Pirenaica is the most important autochthonous cattle breed within the Protected Geographic Indication (PGI) beef quality label in the Basque region, in northern Spain. The short tandem repeats (STRs) are powerful markers ...
Pimavanserin exhibits serotonin 5-HT 2A receptor inverse agonism for G αi1 - and neutral antagonism for G αq/11 -proteins in human brain cortex
(Elsevier, 2020-06-07)
[EN] Pimavanserin is claimed as the first antipsychotic drug that shows selectivity for serotonin 5- HT 2 receptors (5-HT 2 Rs) and lacks of affinity for dopamine D 2 receptors (D 2 Rs). Cell-based func- tional assays ...
The influence of interfacial interactions on the conductivity and phase behaviour of organic ionic plastic crystal/polymer nanoparticle composite electrolytes
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-02-21)
Organic ionic plastic crystals (OIPCs) have been recognised as promising solid-state electrolyte materials for next-generation energy storage devices. Recently, the addition of polymer nanofillers to OIPCs has led to the ...
Suppressing Co-Crystallization of Halogenated Non-Fullerene Acceptors for Thermally Stable Ternary Solar Cells
(Wiley, 2020-11)
While photovoltaic blends based on non-fullerene acceptors are touted for their thermal stability, this type of acceptor tends to crystallize, which can result in a gradual decrease in photovoltaic performance and affects ...
Rotational Speed Control Using ANN-Based MPPT for OWC Based on Surface Elevation Measurements
(MDPI, 2020-11-16)
This paper presents an ANN-based rotational speed control to avoid the stalling behavior in Oscillating Water Columns composed of a Doubly Fed Induction Generator driven by a Wells turbine. This control strategy uses ...
Species–area relationships in continuous vegetation: Evidence from Palaearctic grasslands
(Wiley, 2020-01)
Aim Species-area relationships (SARs) are fundamental scaling laws in ecology although their shape is still disputed. At larger areas, power laws best represent SARs. Yet, it remains unclear whether SARs follow other shapes ...
The NORMAN Association and the European Partnership for Chemicals Risk Assessment (PARC): let’s cooperate!
(Springer, 2020-07-20)
The Partnership for Chemicals Risk Assessment (PARC) is currently under development as a joint research and innovation programme to strengthen the scientific basis for chemical risk assessment in the EU. The plan is to ...
A Wavy Two-Dimensional Covalent Organic Framework from Core- Twisted Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons
(ACS, 2019-09-11)
A high degree of crystallinity is an essential aspect in two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks, as many properties depend strongly on the structural arrangement of the different layers and their constituents. We ...
Catechol-containing acrylic Poly(ionic liquid) Hydrogels as Bioinspired Filters for Water Decontamination
(ACS, 2019-06-13)
Mussel inspired catechol containing materials have currently drawn great attention as biomaterials, adhesives, surface coating and in bioelectronics, among other applications. In this work, we mimicked the ability of mussels ...
New monitoring method to characterize individual modules in large photovoltaic systems
(Pergamon-Elsevier, 2019-11-15)
Photovoltaic (PV) systems power losses are approximately 15-20% of the performance ratio for current PV systems. There are several reasons that explain PV modules failures, and since they are connected in series to the ...
