A redox-active radical as an effective nanoelectronic component: stability and electrochemical tunnelling spectroscopy in ionic liquids
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-10-28)
A redox-active persistent perchlorotriphenylmethyl (PTM) radical chemically linked to gold exhibits stable electrochemical activity in ionic liquids. Electrochemical tunnelling spectroscopy in this medium demonstrates that ...
Osteopontin: a key regulator of liver lipid metabolism
(2016-04-25)
Osteopontin deficiency protects from obesity-related hepatosteatosis and liver fibrosis. Here we have investigated the role of osteopontin as a direct regulator of liver metabolism and whether osteopontin could be a ...
Relapse patterns and outcome after relapse in standard risk medulloblastoma: a report from the HIT-SIOP-PNET4 study
(Springer, 2016-09)
The HIT-SIOP-PNET4 randomised trial for standard risk medulloblastoma (MB) (2001-2006) included 338 patients and compared hyperfractionated and conventional radiotherapy. We here report the long-term outcome after a median ...
Distinct neural systems recruited when speech production is modulated by different masking sounds
(Acoustical Society of America, 2016-07)
When talkers speak in masking sounds, their speech undergoes a variety of acoustic and phonetic changes. These changes are known collectively as the Lombard effect. Most behavioural research and neuroimaging research in ...
A Decade of GRB Follow-Up by BOOTES in Spain (2003-2013)
(Hindawi, 2016)
This article covers ten years of GRB follow-ups by the Spanish BOOTES stations: 71 follow-ups providing 23 detections. Follow-ups by BOOTES-1B from 2005 to 2008 were given in a previous article and are here reviewed and ...
Quantifying electronic band interactions in van der Waals materials using angle-resolved reflected-electron spectroscopy
(Nature Publishing, 2016-11-29)
High electron mobility is one of graphene's key properties, exploited for applications and fundamental research alike. Highest mobility values are found in heterostructures of graphene and hexagonal boron nitride, which ...
An invariant magnetoimpedance elem ent for stray fields detection
(Elsevier, 2016)
Magnetoimpedance sensitive element that consists of one FeNi[125 nm]/Cu[3 nm])3FeNi[125 nm]/Cu[500 nm]/(FeNi[125 nm]/Cu[3 nm])3/FeNi[125 nm] multilayered structure was designed for the magnetic field detection in the wide ...
Application of Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks to Achieve Intelligent Microgrids: A Promising Approach towards a Global Smart Grid Deployment
(MDPI, 2016-02)
Smart Grids (SGs) constitute the evolution of the traditional electrical grid towards a new paradigm, which should increase the reliability, the security and, at the same time, reduce the costs of energy generation, ...
Study of the Genetic Etiology of Primary Ovarian Insufficiency: FMR1 Gene
(MDPI, 2016-12-13)
Menopause is a period of women's life characterized by the cessation of menses in a definitive way. The mean age for menopause is approximately 51 years. Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) refers to ovarian dysfunction ...
Poly(α-hydroxy Acids)-Based Cell Microcarriers
(MDPI, 2016-12-16)
Biodegradable poly(alpha-hydroxyacids) have gained increasing interest in the biomedical field for their use as cell microcarriers thanks to their biodegradability, biocompatibility, tunable mechanical properties/degradation ...
