Chemoenzymatic synthesis and immunological studies of Xylosylated N-glycans
(2016-06-07)
Glycosylation is one of the most common post-translational modifications in eukaryotic cells. It changes during cell development and differentiation and it is tissue and more importantly, species specific. While core ¿-1,6 ...
Network dynamics in nanofilled polymers
(Nature Publishing, 2016-04-25)
It is well accepted that adding nanoparticles (NPs) to polymer melts can result in significant property improvements. Here we focus on the causes of mechanical reinforcement and present rheological measurements on favourably ...
Mesophase structure and behaviour in bulk and restricted geometry of a dimeric compound exhibiting a nematic–nematic transition
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-07-28)
We present structural studies of a dimeric compound composed of a central heptyl spacer linking two mesogens consisting of terphenyl units at which two adjacent fluoro groups are attached to each central ring. The terminal ...
Dynamic Model of a Compliant 3PRS Parallel Mechanism for Micromilling
(Springer, 2016-09-10)
The objective of this work is to develop a manipulator of 5 degrees of freedom for micromilling. It consists of a XY stage under a 3PRS compliant parallel mechanism, obtaining the advantages of the compliant joints as are ...
Synthèse et caractérisation de particules thermosensibles de poly(N-vinylcaprolactame) par polymérisation en émulsion en utilisant un stabilisant macromoléculaire réactif
(2016-12-16)
Résumé : Au cours de cette thèse, deux types de particules thermosensibles de poly(N-vinylcaprolactame) (PVCL) ont été synthétisées par polymérisation en émulsion en utilisant un stabilisant macromoléculaire porteur d'une ...
State of the Art and Trends Review of Smart Metering in Electricity Grids
(MDPI, 2016-03)
Climate change, awareness of energy efficiency, new trends in electricity markets, the obsolescence of the actual electricity model, and the gradual conversion of consumers to prosumer profiles are the main agents of ...
Spinal cord injury induces astroglial conversion towards neuronal lineage
(Biomed Central, 2016-10-06)
Background: Neurons have intrinsic capability to regenerate after lesion, though not spontaneously. Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes permanent neurological impairments partly due to formation of a glial scar that is composed ...
Mechatronic modeling of a parallel kinematics multi-axial simulation table based on decoupling the actuators and manipulator dynamics
(Elsevier, 2016-11-07)
In this work a mechatronic model was developed for a parallel Multi-Axial Simulation Table (MAST) mechanism. The dynamics of the mechanism was obtained using the principle of energy equivalence and Boltzmann–Hamel equations. ...
Regulation of Nociceptive Plasticity Threshold and DARPP-32 Phosphorylation in Spinal Dorsal Horn Neurons by Convergent Dopamine and Glutamate Inputs
(Public Library Science, 2016-09-09)
Dopamine can influence NMDA receptor function and regulate glutamate-triggered long-term changes in synaptic strength in several regions of the CNS. In spinal cord, regulation of the threshold of synaptic plasticity may ...
Experimental Validation of the Kinematic Design of 3PRS Compliant Parallel Mechanisms
(Elsevier, 2016-11)
In this paper, a procedure for the kinematic design of a 3-PRS compliant parallel manipulator of 3 degrees of freedom is proposed. First, under the assumption of small displacements, the solid body kinematics of the 3-PRS ...
