A New Approach in the Design of Microstructured Ultralight Components to Achieve Maximum Functional Performance
(MDPI, 2021-03-24)
In the energy and aeronautics industry, some components need to be very light but with high strength. For instance, turbine blades and structural components under rotational centrifugal forces, or internal supports, ask ...
Quantification of Biomarker Functionality Predicts Patient Outcomes
(Springer Nature, 2021-05-11)
Implementation of a quantitative molecular imaging method (iFRET), which determines receptor–ligand interactions, has led to the finding that patients with a low extent of PD-1/PD-L1 interaction in metastatic NSCLC, and ...
A new route towards lignin-based polyols: a highway for lignin exploitation
(2020-12-18)
El aumento del uso de productos de base petroquímica, junto con el agotamiento del petróleo y la mayor preocupación de la industria y la sociedad por la situación medioambiental actual, ha dado lugar a una intensa investigación ...
Immunogenomics of Colorectal Cancer Response to Checkpoint Blockade: Analysis of the KEYNOTE 177 Trial and Validation Cohorts
(Elsevier, 2021-10)
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Colorectal cancer (CRC) shows variable response to immune checkpoint blockade, which can only partially be explained by high tumor mutational burden (TMB). We conducted an integrated study of the cancer ...
Life Cycle Assessment of various biorefinery approaches for the valorisation of almond shells
(Elsevier, 2021-10)
In the near future, sustainable and efficient biorefineries would be essential for the production of commodity chemicals and high-added value compounds. Therefore, in this work, six scenarios differing on the delignification ...
Energy and environmental analysis of flavonoids extraction from bark using alternative solvents
(Elsevier, 2021-05-04)
[EN] Tree barks are rich in extractive compounds, among which the flavonoids are considered as products of interest. Due to the increase in the demand for these natural products, the development of efficient and sustainable ...
Eco-friendly isolation and characterization of nanochitin from different origins by microwave irradiation: optimization using response surface methodology
(Elsevier, 2021-07-09)
[EN] The extraction of nanochitin from marine waste has attracted great industrial interest due to its unique properties,
namely biodegradability, biocompatibility and as a functional reinforcing agent. Conventional acid ...
Hyper-altruistic behavior vanishes with high stakes
(Public Library Of Science, 2021-08-25)
Using an incentivized experiment with statistical power, this paper explores the role of stakes in charitable giving of lottery prizes, where subjects commit to donate a fraction of the prize before they learn the outcome ...
Optimization of the extraction of galactoglucomannans from Pinus halepensis
(About De Gruyter, 2021-06-25)
The effectiveness of pressurized hot-water extraction conditions for obtaining galactoglucomannans (GGMs) from Pinus halepensis suitable for applications like coatings and films packaging was investigated. For this purpose, ...
Determining the likelihood of incidents caused by human error during dynamic positioning drilling operations
(Cambridge University Press, 2021-03-23)
[EN] The probability of a human-caused incident occurring during dynamic positioning (DP) drilling operations is
determined in this paper using binary logistic regression models built with data on 42 incidents that took ...
