Long-time behaviour of the correlated random walk system
In this work, we consider the so-called correlated random walk system (also known as correlated motion or persistent motion system), used in biological modelling, among other fields, such as chromatography. This is a linear ...
Fortifier selection and dosage enables control of breast milk osmolarity
Background: Human breast milk (BM) fortification is required to feed preterm newborns with less than 32 weeks of gestation. However, addition of fortifiers increases osmolarity and osmolarity values higher than 450 mOsm/kg ...
Bacteriophobic Zwitterionic/Dopamine Coatings for Medical Elastomers
Despite modern advancements in sterilization and medical practices, bacterial infections remain a significant concern in the implantation of medical devices. There is currently an urgent need for long-lasting and high-stable ...
CEO demographics and gender diversity in senior management in large Scandinavian firms
Purpose This study aims to investigate whether chief executive officer (CEO) demographics are associated with gender diversity in senior management in the Scandinavia region. Design/methodology/approach The research ...
Impact of environmentally relevant concentrations of fluoxetine on zebrafish larvae: From gene to behavior
Fluoxetine is widely prescribed for the treatment of depressive states, acting at the level of the central nervous system, consequently affecting non-target organisms. This study aimed to investigate the influence of ...
De-Novo Design of pre-miR-21 Maturation Inhibitors: Synthesis and Activity Assessment
Targeting RNA with small molecules is a major challenge of current medicinal chemistry, and the identification and design of original scaffolds able to selectively interact with an RNA target remains difficult. Various ...
Photosensitive EGFR-Targeted Nanocarriers for Combined Photodynamic and Local Chemotherapy
The major limitation of any cancer therapy lies in the difficulty of precisely controlling the localization of the drug in the tumor cells. To improve this drawback, our study explores the use of actively-targeted ...
Development of a GC-FID method for the analysis of fatty acids in palm olein to study the formation of C18:1 trans during deep discontinuous frying processes in El Salvador food industry
An analytical method for the derivatization of fatty acids to methyl esters using basic catalysis with special emphasis on the identification of the different C18:1 trans isomers was developed and validated, showing excellent ...
Direct and spillover effects of board gender quotas: Revisiting the Norwegian experience
Building on the Norwegian case, this study examines the long-term implications of board gender quotas on the advancement of gender diversity in managerial leadership. Previous research has indicated that, aside from the ...
Toward high performance solution retrieval in multiobjective clustering
The massive generation of unlabeled data of current industrial applications has attracted the interest of data mining practitioners. Thus, retrieving novel and useful information from these volumes of data while decreasing ...
The Retro-Aza-Michael Reaction: How Process Optimization Led to New Scientific Insights
The synthesis of 2-(2-methylaminoethyl)pyridine from the reaction between 2-vinylpyridine and methylamine serves as a crucial exploration into the reversibility of the aza-Michael reaction. The results unequivocally ...
In Vivo Efficacy of an Adhesive Bioresorbable Patch to Treat Aortic Dissections
Endovascular repair of aortic dissection still presents significant limitations. Preserving the mechanical and biological properties set by the aortic microstructure is critical to the success of implantable grafts. In ...
1,2,3-Triazole Derivatives as Novel Antifibrinolytic Drugs
Fibrinolysis is a natural process that ensures blood fluidity through the removal of fibrin deposits. However, excessive fibrinolytic activity can lead to complications in different circumstances, such as general surgery ...
Analytical parameters of a novel glucose biosensor based on grafted PFM as a covalent immobilization technique
Bioanalytical methods, in particular electrochemical biosensors, are increasingly used in different industrial sectors due to their simplicity, low cost, and fast response. However, to be able to reliably use this type of ...
Overview of the current situation relating to chemical engineering degree courses
In 2020, the Conference of Chemical Engineering Directors and Deans (CODDIQ) proposed the creation of an observatory to monitor chemical engineering degrees in Spain. This representative radiography of Chemical Engineering ...
Aqueous stability and degradation of psychiatric and neuroactive compounds and its biological activity in Daphnia magna
Pharmaceuticals and other emerging contaminants are continuously released into the aquatic environment, considered as ‘pseudo-persistent’ pollutants. Many compounds degrade fast in the environment, but sometimes their ...
