Effect of calcination/reduction conditions of Ni/La2O3–αAl2O3 catalyst on its activity and stability for hydrogen production by steam reforming of raw bio-oil/ethanol
(Elsevier, 2014-04-05)
The influence of calcination and reduction temperatures of Ni/La2O3–αAl2O3 catalyst used in the steam reforming of raw bio-oil was studied in the 550–850 °C range. The experiments were conducted by continuously feeding a ...
Effect of specific amino acid substitutions in the putative fusion peptide of structural glycoprotein E2 on Classical Swine Fever Virus replication
(Elsevier, 2014-05)
E2, along with Erns and E1, is an envelope glycoprotein of Classical Swine Fever Virus (CSFV). E2 is involved in several virus functions: cell attachment, host range susceptibility and virulence in natural hosts. Here we ...
Generation of nanocomposites based on (PMMA-b-PCL)-grafted Fe2O3 nanoparticles and PS-b-PCL block copolymer
(Elsevier, 2014-07-14)
The aim of this work is to obtain a good dispersion of Fe2O3 magnetic nanoparticles into a PS-b-PCL diblock copolymer. For this purpose nanoparticles have been modified in their surface by grafting a PMMA-b-PCL block ...
Corncob arabinoxylan for new materials
(Elsevier, 2014-02)
[EN]tCorncob agricultural waste was used as a source of arabinoxylan for preparation of films. Three ara-binoxylan samples were prepared: crude extract (CCAX), purified by a washing step, and purified bybleaching CCAX. ...
Compact and high conversion efficiency mode-sorting asymmetric Y junction using shortcuts to adiabaticity
(Optica, 2014-04-08)
We propose a compact and high conversion efficiency asymmetric Y junction mode multiplexer/demultiplexer for applications in on-chip mode-division multiplexing. Traditionally, mode sorting is achieved by adiabatically ...
Melanoma tumors alter proinflammatory cytokine production and monoamine brain function, and induce depressive-like behavior in male mice
(Elsevier, 2014-07-01)
Depression is a commonly observed disorder among cancer patients; however, the mechanisms under-lying the relationship between these disorders are not well known. We used an animal model to study the effects of tumor ...
Memory Requirements Analysis for PRP and HSR Hardware Implementations on FPGAs
(IEEE, 2014-01-02)
The IEC62439-3 defines two ways to obtain a high availability automation network: Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) and High-availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR). In order to do that, those methods include different ...
Morphology and Mechanical Properties of PLLA and PCL Scaffolds
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-01-28)
Human tissue engineering, comprising methods and tools to
create implants, is a promising although as yet a very underdeveloped
field of research into the regeneration of specific damaged or
necrotic tissue. Porous ...
Lifelong treatment with atenolol decreases membrane fatty acid unsaturation and oxidative stress in heart and skeletal muscle mitochondria and improves immunity and behavior, without changing mice longevity
(Wiley, 2014)
The membrane fatty acid unsaturation hypothesis of aging and longevity is experimentally tested for the first time in mammals. Lifelong treatment of mice with the β1-blocker atenolol increased the amount of the ...
Evaluation of human plasma sample preparation protocols for untargeted metabolic profiles analyzed by UHPLC-ESI-TOF-MS
(Springer, 2014-10-12)
Eight human plasma preparation protocols were evaluated for their suitability for metabolomic studies by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry: ...
