Beneficial effect of ursodeoxycholic acid in patients with acyl-CoA oxidase 2 (ACOX2) deficiency-associated hypertransaminasemia
(Wiley, 2022-11)
Background and Aims: A variant (p.Arg225Trp) of peroxisomal acyl-CoA oxidase 2 (ACOX2), involved in bile acid (BA) side-chain shortening, has been associated with unexplained persistent hypertransaminasemia and ...
Biodegradable binary blends of poly (butylene succinate) or poly (ε-caprolactone) with poly (butylene succinate-ran-ε-caprolactone) copolymers: Crystallization behavior
(Elsevier, 2022-08-12)
Poly (butylene succinate) (PBS) and polycaprolactone (PCL) are two immiscible biocompatible and biodegradable polymers. Aiming to combine the properties of these biodegradable polymers, this work explores for the first ...
Lactide-Valerolactone Copolymers for Packaging Applications
(MDPI, 2021-12-23)
Lactide-valerolactone copolymers have potential application in the packaging sector. Different copolymers were synthesized, and the kinetics of the copolymerization reactions and the microstructure of the copolymers were ...
Matching Rheology, Conductivity and Joule Effect in PU/CNT Nanocomposites
(MDPI, 2021-03-19)
We investigated polyurethane (PU)–carbon nanotube (CNT) nanocomposites (PU/CNT) in a range of concentrations from 1 to 8 wt% CNT as hot melt adhesives. We studied the thermal properties of the nanocomposites, which is ...
Toward Pricing Financial Derivatives with an IBM Quantum Computer
(American Physical Society, 2021-02-22)
Pricing interest-rate financial derivatives is a major problem in finance, in which it is crucial to accurately reproduce the time evolution of interest rates. Several stochastic dynamics have been proposed in the literature ...
Homogeneity assessment of the SuperCam calibration targets onboard rover perseverance
(Elsevier, 2022-05-29)
The SuperCam instrument, onboard the Perseverance rover (Mars 2020 mission) is designed to perform remote analysis on the Martian surface employing several spectroscopic techniques such as Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy ...
Ba+2 ion trapping using organic submonolayer for ultra-low background neutrinoless double beta detector
(Nature, 2022-12)
If neutrinos are their own antiparticles the otherwise-forbidden nuclear reaction known as neutrinoless double beta decay can occur. The very long lifetime expected for these exceptional events makes its detection a daunting ...
Hybrid 3D Printed and Electrospun Multi-Scale Hierarchical Polycaprolactone Scaffolds to Induce Bone Differentiation
(MDPI, 2022-12-19)
Complex scaffolds composed of micro- and nano-structures are a key target in tissue engineering and the combination of sequential 3D printing and electrospinning enables the fabrication of these multi-scale structures. In ...
Using Competency Maps for Embedding and Assessing Sustainability in Engineering Degrees
(MDPI, 2022-12-19)
This paper features a methodology for embedding and assessing a competency in an academic curriculum using competency maps. This methodology enables embedding and assessment of any competency in any curriculum, regardless ...
Superlattices of Gadolinium and Bismuth Based Thallium Dichalcogenides as Potential Magnetic Topological Insulators
(MDPI, 2022-12-22)
Using relativistic spin-polarized density functional theory calculations we investigate magnetism, electronic structure and topology of the ternary thallium gadolinium dichalcogenides TlGdZ2 (Z= Se and Te) as well as ...
