A novel procedure to determine the cohesive law In DCB tests
(Elsevier, 2017-11-10)
A novel method is presented for the determination of mode I cohesive law for the characterization of delamination in unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced polymer laminates. The energy release rate as a function of the ...
A straightforward route to obtain zirconium based metal-organic gel
(Elsevier, 2019-04-12)
Zirconium based metal-organic gels are obtained through a rapid method at room temperature, employing green solvents, in which the role of water is important. These porous materials, decorated with Brønsted acid sites, ...
Biodiversity and Green Infrastructure in Europe: Boundary object or ecological trap?
(Elsevier, 2016-11)
The concept of green infrastructure is widely used in environmental planning, but so far it has no standard definition. Planners, conservationists and scientists tend to welcome the term because it can serve as a boundary ...
A New Approach For Determining The R-Curve In DCB Tests Without Optical Measurements
(Elsevier, 2015-02)
A new method for obtaining the R-curve point to point by the Double Cantilever Beam test is proposed. Besides the determination of new compliance and energy release rate equations, the analytical model presented leads to ...
Blends of biodegradable poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) with poly(hydroxi amino ether) for packaging applications: Miscibility, rheology and transport properties
(Elsevier, 2018-08)
The improvement of the properties of biodegradable poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) through the addition of poly(hydroxi amino ether) (PHAE) is investigated. Analysis by means of DSC, DMTA, FTIR and TEM ...
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 ...
A Multistage Algorithm for ECG Rhythm Analysis During Piston-Driven Mechanical Chest Compressions
(IEEE, 2019-01)
Goal: An accurate rhythm analysis during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) would contribute to increase the survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Piston-driven mechanical compression devices are frequently used ...
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 ...
