Grammaticalization of nouns meaning “head” into reflexive markers: A cross-linguistic study
(De Gruyter Mouton, 2018-10-17)
Studies on the grammaticalization of body-part nouns into reflexives have often formulated cross-linguistic generalizations, but have mostly failed to provide detailed analyses of similar developments attested in ...
Generation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) is a key factor for stimulation of macrophage proliferation by ceramide 1-phosphate
(Elsevier, 2011-12-06)
We previously demonstrated that ceramide 1-phosphate (C1P) is mitogenic for fibroblasts and macrophages. However, the mechanisms involved in this action were only partially described. Here, we demonstrate that C1P stimulates ...
Generation of nanocomposites based on polystyrene grafted CdSe nanoparticles by grafting through and block copolymer
(Springer Nature, 2013-02-23)
Continuing with our previous work, in which CdSe nanoparticles were functionalized with polystyrene (PS) brushes (CdSe-PS) by grafting through method, nanocomposites were prepared by adding them to a poly (styrene-b-buta ...
High levels of molecular orientation of surface azo chromophores can be optically induced even in a wet biological environment
(2013-09-18)
We have developed polyelectrolyte multilayer bio-films containing azobenzene chromophores that enhance reversible photo-orientation
upon irradiation with linearly polarized light, to effect surface photoswitching of ...
Illusions of causality at the heart of pseudoscience
(Wiley on behalf of the BPS, 2011-03-16)
Pseudoscience, superstitions, and quackery are serious problems that threaten public health and in which many variables are involved. Psychology, however, has much to say about them, as it is the illusory perceptions of ...
High-Performance Magnetic Activated Carbon from Solid Waste from Lignin Conversion Processes. 2. Their Use as NiMo Catalyst Supports for Lignin Conversion
(ACS Publications, 2017-10-27)
[EN] Lignin conversion processes produce carbon-rich residues
[Oregui-Bengoechea et al. J. Anal. Appl. Pyrolysis 2015, 113, 713−722;
Zakzeski et al. Chem. Rev. 2010, 110, 3552−3599] that can be converted into
valuable ...
High-pressure torsion driven phase transformations in Cu-Al-Ni shape memory alloys
(Elsevier, 2016-12-16)
Severe plastic deformation (SPD) frequently induces phase transformations like decomposition of supersaturated solid solution, dissolution of precipitates, amorphization, nanocrystallization etc. Such diffusive phase ...
Hydrogenolysis of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to produce 2,5-dimethylfuran over ZrO2 supported Cu and RuCu catalysts
(ACS, 2018-07-13)
Glucose dehydration to HMF and its hydrogenolysis to DMF, a suitable biofuel, have been studied using
the same catalysts for both processes. The 10CuZr catalyst shows the highest HMF yield (25.6%) with an acceptable glucose ...
How is communication of vaccines in traditional media: a systematic review
(SAGE on behalf of the Royal Society for Public Health, 2018-06-07)
Aim: Taking into account that a key determinant in public approval of vaccinations is how the
media constructs and frames messages about vaccination programmes, our aim is to review
communication studies exploring media ...
Hybrid and biocompatible cellulose/polyurethane nanocomposites with water-activated shape memory properties
(Elsevier, 2019-04-03)
[EN] Water-activated shape memory bacterial cellulose/polyurethane nanocomposites were prepared by the immersion of bacterial cellulose (BC) wet membranes into waterborne polyurethane (WBPU) dispersions for different times. ...
