Experiments of Trust Prediction in Social Networks by Artificial Neural Networks
(Taylor and Francis, 2015-03-24)
Social network online services are growing at an exponential pace, both in quantity of users and diversity of services; thus, the evaluation of trust in the interaction among users and toward the system is a central issue ...
Base catalysed depolymerization of lignin: Influence of organosolv lignin nature
(2014-07)
Three different lignins obtained from olive tree pruning by organosolv processes
(acetosolv, formosolv and acetosolv/formosolv) were depolymerized by alkaline hydrolysis in a batch reactor to produce high value added ...
Ceramide 1-phosphate (C1P) induces macrophage chemoattractant protein-1 release: involvement in C1P-stimulated cell migration.
(American Physiological Society, 2013-06)
The bioactive sphingolipid ceramide 1-phosphate (C1P) is implicated in inflammatory responses, and was recently shown to promote cell migration. However, the mechanisms involved in these actions are poorly described. Using ...
Alteration in molecular markers of oocyte development and intersex condition in mullets impacted by wastewater treatment plant effluents
(Elsevier, 2016-06-11)
Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) discharges are an important source of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) into the aquatic environment. Fish populations inhabiting downstream of WWTP effluents show alterations in gonad ...
5S rRNA and Accompanying Proteins in Gonads: Powerful Markers to Identify Sex and Reproductive Endocrine Disruption in Fish
(ACS, 2012-06-22)
In anuran ovaries, 5S rDNA is regulated transcriptionally by transcription factor IIIA (TFIIIA), which upon transcription, binds 5S rRNA, forming 7S RNP. 5S rRNA can be stockpiled also in the form of 42S RNP bound to 42sp43. ...
Molecular markers of oocyte differentiation in European eel during hormonally induced oogenesis
(Elsevier, 2017-09-01)
Reproduction in captivity is a key study issue in Anguilla anguilla as a possible solution for its dwindling population. Understanding the mechanisms controlling the production of ribosomal building blocks during artificially ...
Cellulose nanocrystals reinforced environmentally-friendly waterborne polyurethane nanocomposites
(Elsevier, 2016-10)
Focusing on eco-friendly materials, cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) have gained attention as nanoreinforcement due to their exceptional properties conferred by the elevated length/diameter aspect ratio and high specific ...
Cadmium bioaccumulation in aquatic oligochaetes using a biodynamic model: a review of values of physiological parameters and model validation using laboratory and field bioaccumulation data
(Springer, 2017-05)
This study reviews certain physiological digestive parameters in the literature that could be used to predict tissue residues in aquatic oligochaetes using the biodynamic model. Predictions were evaluated with independently ...
Behavior And Ultrastructure Of Human Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Immobilized In Alginate-Poly-L-Lysine-Alginate Microcapsules
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-04-24)
Context: Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs) show a great promise for the treatment of a variety of diseases. Despite the previous trials to encapsulate hBM-MSCs in alginate-poly-l-lysine-alginate (APA) ...
Friction torque in four-point contact slewing bearings: applicability and limitations of current analytical formulations
(Elsevier, 2017-11)
The friction torque is a key parameter in the design of slewing bearings. The most challenging issue in its calculation
resides in the modelling of rolling element contact mechanics. In this manuscript two models for the ...
