Sustainable antibacterial collagen composites with silver nanowires for resistive pressure sensor applications
(Elsevier, 2023-11)
Considering the circular economy and the increasing need of smart materials for the digitalization of society, it is essential that these materials are based on bio-resources. Thus, in order to replace synthetic by natural ...
Inhibition of rat locus coeruleus neurons by prostaglandin E2 EP3 receptors: pharmacological characterization ex vivo
(Frontiers Media, 2023-11)
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is an inflammatory mediator synthesized by the brain constitutive cyclooxygenase enzyme. PGE2 binds to G protein-coupled EP1-4 receptors (EP1 to Gq, EP2,4 to Gs, and EP3 to Gi/o). EP2, EP3 and EP4 ...
Fluorine-Free Poly(ionic Liquid)s Binders for the Aqueous Processing of High-Voltage NMC811 Cathodes
(Wiley, 2023-12)
The use of water-soluble binders enables the transition to more sustainable batteries by the replacement of toxic N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) by water. Herein, two new fluorine-free poly(ionic liquid)s are proposed as ...

Insights into the mechanism of action of the chlorophyll derivative 13-2-hydroxypheophytine a on reducing neutral lipid reserves in zebrafish larvae and mice adipocytes
(Elsevier, 2023-12)
Obesity is a worldwide epidemic and natural products may hold promise in its treatment. The chlorophyll derivative 13-2-hydroxypheophytine (hpa) was isolated in a screen with zebrafish larvae to identify lipid reducing ...
Explaining Public-Private Partnership Projects through Political Factors: An Assessment of Developing Countries
(Sage, 2021-09-13)
This paper analyses the effect of political factors on the use of PPPs in developing countries. According to a sample of 80 low- and middle-income countries over the period 1995-2017, our findings suggest that PPP projects ...
Analysing the link between corruption and PPPs in infrastructure projects: an empirical assessment in developing countries
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-10-21)
This study analyses the relationship between Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) and corruption. To do this, several econometric analyses were developed using a sample of 92 low- and middle-income countries over the period ...
Effect of public–private partnership projects on inequality in developing countries
(Taylor & Francis, 2023-11-01)
This study examines the effect of public-private partnerships (PPPs) on income inequality, focusing on economic infrastructures. For that, we use a sample composed of data from 38 low- and middle-income countries over the ...
