Life Cycle Assessment of the Separation and Recycling of Fluorinated Gases Using Ionic Liquids in a Circular Economy FrameworkClick to copy article link
The stricter regulation regarding the use of fluorinated gases (F-gases), as a consequence of their high Global Warming Potential (GWP), represents a challenge for the refrigeration industry. The design of alternatives ...
STAT6 mutations enriched at diffuse large B-cell lymphoma relapse reshape the tumor microenvironment
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) relapses in approximately 40% of patients following frontline therapy. We reported that STAT6D419 mutations are enriched in relapsed/refractory DLBCL (rrDLBCL) samples, suggesting that ...
Introducción a la química combinatoria
Durante los últimos diez años la Química Combinatoria se ha convertido en una técnica usual para el descubrimiento y desarrollo de nuevos productos con actividad biológica. El presente minireview pretende dar una panorámica ...
Elementos de gestión que llevarán a una cadena hotelera a mejorar la calidad de su servicio
Propósito: el objetivo de esta investigación está en determinar, a partir de las opiniones de los directivos hoteleros, cuáles son los aspectos de gestión de una cadena hotelera que la llevarán a mejorar su calidad de ...
An Ultra-Long-Lived Triplet Excited State in Water at Room Temperature: Insights on the Molecular Design of Tridecafullerenes
Suitably engineered molecular systems exhibiting triplet excited states with very long lifetimes are important for high-end applications in nonlinear optics, photocatalysis, or biomedicine. We report the finding of an ...
Chloroplast engineering of the green microalgae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii for the production of HAA, the lipid moiety of rhamnolipid biosurfactants
Hydroxyalkanoyloxyalkanoates (HAA) are lipidic surfactants with a number of potential applications, but more remarkably, they are the biosynthetic precursors of rhamnolipids (RL), which are preferred biosurfactants thanks ...
Learning by doing? Partners audit experience and the quality of audit services
A pesar de la evidencia que sugiere que el conocimiento especializado debería resultar más relevante que el genérico para explicar diferentes niveles de calidad de auditoría asociados a los auditores individuales, ningún ...
NanoFN10: A High-Contrast Turn-On Fluorescence Nanoprobe for Multiphoton Singlet Oxygen Imaging
An “off-on” fluorescent nanoprobe for near-infrared multiphoton imaging of singlet oxygen has been developed. The nanoprobe comprises a naphthoxazole fluorescent unit and a singlet-oxygen-sensitive furan derivative attached ...
Loss of Cldn5 -and increase in Irf7-in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex of diabetic mice at the early symptomatic stage
Analyzing changes in gene expression within specific brain regions of individuals with Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) who do not exhibit significant cognitive deficits can yield valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying the ...
Remote experiments for STEM education and engagement in rural schools: The case of project R3
Rural schools tend not to have enough laboratory and experimentation equipment, which can be an obstacle that hinders student learning in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) areas. Moreover, this loss ...
Creation of Chemically Tri-Layered Collagen Crosslinked Membranes and Their Comparison with Ionically Tri-Layered Chitosan Crosslinked Membranes to Study Human Skin Properties
In 2009, a new European regulation came into force that forbade the use of animals in the cosmetics industry. As a result, new alternatives were sought, taking into account the new ethical considerations. The main objective ...
A comparative study on two cationic porphycenes: photophysical and antimicrobial photoinactivation evaluation
Over the last decades, the number of pathogenic multi-resistant microorganisms has grown dramatically, which has stimulated the search for novel strategies to combat antimicrobial resistance. Antimicrobial photodynamic ...
Development of a non-viral platform for rapid virus-like particle production in Sf9 cells
Insect cells have shown a high versatility to produce multiple recombinant products. The ease of culture, low contamination risk with human pathogens and high expression capacity makes an attractive platform to generate ...
On the mechanism of Candida tropicalis biofilm reduction by the combined action of naturally-occurring anthraquinones and blue light
The photoprocesses involved in the photo-induced Candida tropicalis biofilm reduction by two natural anthraquinones (AQs), rubiadin (1) and rubiadin-1-methyl ether (2), were examined. Production of singlet oxygen (1O2) and ...
Electrostatic Coating of Viral Particles for Gene Delivery Applications in Muscular Dystrophies: Influence of Size on Stability and Antibody Protection
Background:Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is one of the most common muscular dystrophies, caused by mutated forms of the dystrophin gene. Currently, the only treatment available is symptoms management. Novel approximations ...
Impact of low stocking densities shrimp farm effluents in water quality of a tropical coastal wetland
The effects of shrimp aquaculture on the water quality of the Jiquilisco Bay (El Salvador) was evaluated for small-scale shrimp farming with low stocking densities (≤ 12 shrimps/m2). Two sites were selected for study: one ...
Raising funds: entrepreneurs and investors negotiate an amount to invest and and ownership percentage
This paper summarizes the results of an activity which consisted of two parts: 1) the calculation of the value of a new venture and the funds needed during its first years of operation (simulation) and 2) the negotiation ...
Design and Evaluation of a User Experience Questionnaire for Remote Labs
Remote laboratories have been in use for 25 years now. Whereas several learning oriented meta-analyses exist, validated and agreed-upon tools for assessing the user experience are not readily available. The present paper ...
