Cri-du-chat syndrome mimics Silver-Russell syndrome depending on the size of the deletion: a case report
(Biomed Central, 2018-12-27)
BackgroundSilver-Russell Syndrome (SRS) is a rare growth-related genetic disorder mainly characterized by prenatal and postnatal growth failure. Although molecular causes are not clear in all cases, the most common mechanisms ...
Drilling Process in γ-TiAl Intermetallic Alloys
(MDPI, 2018-11-26)
Gamma titanium aluminides (gamma-TiAl) present an excellent behavior under high temperature conditions, being a feasible alternative to nickel-based superalloy components in the aeroengine sector. However, considered as a ...
Dynamics and mechanical vibrations. Complementing the theory with virtual simulation and experimental analysis
(Springer, 2018-09-21)
The purpose of the present work is to show how the complex theory in subjects related to
Mechanism and Machine Theory can be reinforced with some practicals in which the students can perform
virtual simulation of the ...
Solitons and black hole in shift symmetric scalar-tensor gravity with cosmological constant
(Springer, 2018-06-14)
We demonstrate the existence of static, spherically symmetric globally regular, i.e. solitonic solutions of a shift-symmetric scalar-tensor gravity model with negative cosmological constant. The norm of the Noether current ...
Recent Advances in Homogeneous Metal-Catalyzed Aerobic C–H Oxidation of Benzylic Compounds
(MDPI, 2018-12-08)
Csp(3)-H oxidation of benzylic methylene compounds is an established strategy for the synthesis of aromatic ketones, esters, and amides. The need for more sustainable oxidizers has encouraged researchers to explore the use ...
Hole Making by Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) of -TiAl Intermetallic Alloys
(MDPI, 2018-07)
Due to their excellent strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion and wear resistance, gamma-TiAl alloys are selected for aerospace and automotive applications. Since these materials are difficult to cut and machine by ...
Improving Stability Prediction in Peripheral Milling of Al7075T6
(MDPI, 2018-08)
Chatter is an old enemy to machinists but, even today, is far from being defeated. Current requirements around aerospace components call for stronger and thinner workpieces which are more prone to vibrations. This study ...
Seafood Consumption, Omega-3 Fatty Acids Intake, and Life-Time Prevalence of Depression in the PREDIMED-Plus Trial
(MDPI, 2018-12)
BACKGROUND: The aim of this analysis was to ascertain the type of relationship between fish and seafood consumption, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-3 PUFA) intake, and depression prevalence.
METHODS: ...
Dietary Intake in Population with Metabolic Syndrome: Is the Prevalence of Inadequate Intake Influenced by Geographical Area? Cross-Sectional Analysis from PREDIMED-Plus Study
(MDPI, 2018-11-04)
Inadequate diet influences chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading cause of death in Spain. CVD figures vary from one geographical region to another; this could be associated with different food ...
Singular Location and Signaling Profile of Adenosine A2A-Cannabinoid CB1 Receptor Heteromers in the Dorsal Striatum
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-04)
The dorsal striatum is a key node for many neurobiological processes such as motor activity, cognitive functions, and affective processes. The proper functioning of striatal neurons relies critically on metabotropic ...
