Supramolecular Structure and Renaturation of a (1→3)-β-D-Glucan Compared with Curdlan and Scleroglucan
(MDPI, 2014-09-22)
A (1→3)-β-D-Glucan produced by Lactobacillus suebicus CUPV221 strain was
investigated by tapping mode atomic force microscopy (TM-AFM), to compare its
supramolecular structure and conformation with two commercial ...
How Do We Create Experiences for Students That Connect with What They Care About?
(MDPI, 2018-10-26)
The main aim of this work is to describe the process by which some students, participating in a teaching experiment, recreate with guidance material and personal attendance some advanced concepts at the doctoral level. ...
Problem-Based Teaching through Video Podcasts for Coding and Cryptography
(MDPI, 2018-10-31)
In this work we present the development and preliminary evaluation of several problem-based video podcasts addressed to students of the subject “Coding and Cryptography”. Specifically, this experiment has been carried out ...
Validation of LDLr Activity as a Tool to Improve Genetic Diagnosis of Familial Hypercholesterolemia: A Retrospective on Functional Characterization of LDLr Variants
(MDPI, 2018-06)
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by high blood-cholesterol levels mostly caused by mutations in the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLr). With a prevalence as high as ...
Expanding the Applicability of Poly(Ionic Liquids) in Solid Phase Microextraction: Pyrrolidinium Coatings
(MDPI, 2017-09)
Crosslinked pyrrolidinium-based poly(ionic liquids) (Pyrr-PILs) were synthesized through a fast, simple, and solventless photopolymerization scheme, and tested as solid phase microextraction (SPME) sorbents. A series of ...
Twisted Aromatic Frameworks: Readily Exfoliable and Solution-Processable Two-Dimensional Conjugated Microporous Polymers
(Wiley VCH, 2017)
Twisted two-dimensional aromatic frameworks have been prepared by overcrowding the nodes with bulky and rigid substituents. The highly distorted aromatic framework with alternating out-of-plane substituents results in ...
Monodisperse N‐Doped Graphene Nanoribbons Reaching 7.7 Nanometers in Length
(Wiley VCH, 2018-01-15)
The properties of graphene nanoribbons are highly dependent on structural variables such as width, length, edge structure, and heteroatom doping. Therefore, atomic precision over all these variables is necessary for ...
A Recording Form for Differential Diagnosis of Arthropathies
(Elsevier, 2018-03)
The present study is focused on a group of arthropathies that may have very similar bone manifestations (rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, osteoarthritis and diffuse ...
Heterogeneous Preferences for Public Goods Provided by Agriculture in a Region of Intensive Agricultural Production: The Case of the Marchfeld
(MDPI, 2018-06)
The aim of this paper is to elicit the marginal willingness to pay (MWTP) for the improved provision of public goods (PGs) by agriculture in a region of intensive agricultural production, embodying many of the environmental ...
The complex association between the antioxidant defense system and clinical status in early psychosis
(Public Library Science, 2018-04-26)
Oxidative stress is a pathophysiological mechanism potentially involved in psychiatric disorders. The objective of this study was to assess the relationship between total antioxidant status (TAS) and the functional status ...
