First stage of structural viability of a real component manufactured by FDM (fused deposition modeling) 3D printing. Case: door handle from a car
The present work is dedicated to the evaluation of a first stage of structural viability for the implementation of the FDM manufacturing technology in an industrial process in order to obtain functional parts. With this ...
Indolyl Septanoside Synthesis for In Vivo Screening of Bacterial Septanoside Hydrolases
Building-up and breaking-down of carbohydrates are processes common to all forms of life. Glycoside hydrolases are a broad class of enzymes that play a central role in the cleavage of glycosidic bonds, which is fundamental ...
Audit tenure and audit qualifications in a low litigation risk setting: an analysis of the spanish market
The main role of the external auditor in the classical corporate governance scheme is to verify the accounting information provided by the firms’ managers. Lengthy audit engagements are viewed as a main threat to preserve ...
The Influence of Organizations’ Tax Avoidance Practices on Consumers’ Behavior: The Role of Moral Reasoning Strategies, Political Ideology, and Brand Identification
This study adopts moral reasoning strategies (moral rationalization and decoupling) to investigate why consumers support companies involved in ethical transgressions. Drawing on several cases of real multinationals publicly ...
Optical control of pain in vivo with a photoactive mGlu5 receptor negative allosteric modulator
Light-operated drugs constitute a major target in drug discovery, since they may provide spatiotemporal resolution for the treatment of complex diseases (i.e. chronic pain). JF-NP-26 is an inactive photocaged derivative ...
A hybrid numerical-experimental strategy for predicting mechanical response of components manufactured via FFF
In this paper a new methodology developed for predicting the mechanical performance of the structures additively manufactured by Fused Filament Fabrication is presented. The novelty of the approach consists in accounting ...
Digital natives and streaming TV platforms: an integrated perspective to explain continuance usage of over-the-top services
Purpose: Digital natives constitute a substantial part of consumers nowadays. Yet, a theoretical understanding of the factors driving their engagement with new-age digital services is lacking. This study therefore aims to ...
The co-creation tourism experience
Numerous books have been written lately about the fundamental changes in society, with titles like the ‘attention economy’, ‘dream society’, ’market of emotions’, ‘the age of access’, the ‘support economy’, the ‘experience ...
Culture as a component of the hospitality product
Present the most important consumer trends observed and outline the major characteristics of cultural tourist behaviour.
Development of green/red-absorbing chromophores based on a coumarin scaffold that are useful as caging groups
We report the design, synthesis, and spectroscopic characterization of a series of push–pull chromophores based on a novel coumarin scaffold in which the carbonyl of the lactone function of the original coumarin dyes has ...
A simplified implementation of the stationary liquid mass balance method for on‐line OUR monitoring in animal cell cultures
BACKGROUND Compared with other methods, the stationary liquid mass balance method for oxygen uptake rate (OUR) determination offers advantages in terms of estimation accuracy and reduction of stress. However, the need for ...
Pharmacological modulation of serotonin levels in zebrafish larvae: lessons for identifying environmental neurotoxicants targeting the serotonergic system
This study examines the effects of acute pharmacological modulation of the serotonergic system over zebrafish larvae’s cognitive, basic, and defense locomotor behaviors, using a medium to high throughput screening assay. ...
A practical guide to computational tools for engineering biocatalytic properties
The growing demand for efficient, selective, and stable enzymes has fueled advancements in computational enzyme engineering, a field that complements experimental methods to accelerate enzyme discovery. With a plethora of ...
Role Reversal! Financial Performance as an Antecedent of ESG: The Moderating Effect of Total Quality Management
Shifting from short-term profit maximizing strategies to more sustainable long-term ones, the corporate world has been exerting extra effort to adopt environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performances. However, the ...
De la mixofobia a la mixofilia - el turismo como vehículo para superar el miedo al desconocido
La globalización ha abierto la posibilidad de que cada vez más gente pueda viajar. El desplazamiento de un país a otro ya no es un privilegio ni un acto imposible – los viajes son asequibles económicamente y las fronteras ...
Overcoming Paradoxical Kinase Priming by a Novel MNK1 Inhibitor
Targeting the kinases MNK1 and MNK2 has emerged as a valuable strategy in oncology. However, most of the advanced inhibitors are acting in an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-competitive mode, precluding the evaluation of ...
Poly(β-amino ester)s-Based Delivery Systems for Targeted Transdermal Vaccination
Nucleic acid vaccines have become a transformative technology to fight emerging infectious diseases and cancer. Delivery of such via the transdermal route could boost their efficacy given the complex immune cell reservoir ...
Efficient extracellular vesicles freeze-dry method for direct formulations preparation and use
Despite the great knowledge achieved in the field of extracellular vesicles (EVs), the short lifetime of EVs liquid formulation still hampers the transfer of EVs technology to clinical applications. In this context, ...
