Magnetic Properties of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Do Not Essentially Contribute to Ferrogel Biocompatibility
(MDPI, 2021-04-19)
Two series of composite polyacrylamide (PAAm) gels with embedded superparamagnetic Fe2O3 or diamagnetic Al2O3 nanoparticles were synthesized, aiming to study the direct contribution of the magnetic interactions to the ...
High Biofilm Formation of Non-Smooth Candida parapsilosis Correlates with Increased Incorporation of GPI-Modified Wall Adhesins
(MDPI, 2021-04-19)
Candida parapsilosis is among the most frequent causes of candidiasis. Clinical isolates of this species show large variations in colony morphotype, ranging from round and smooth to a variety of non-smooth irregular colony ...
Overcoming the Exciton Binding Energy in Two-Dimensional Perovskite Nanoplatelets by Attachment of Conjugated Organic Chromophores
(Nature, 2020-04-20)
In this work we demonstrate a novel approach to achieve efficient charge separation in dimensionally and dielectrically confined two-dimensional perovskite materials. Two-dimensional perovskites generally exhibit large ...
Review of Systems Engineering (SE) Methods and Their Application to Wave Energy Technology Development
(MDPI, 2020-10-20)
The design of effective and economically viable wave energy devices involves complex decision-making about the product based on conceptual design information, including stakeholder requirements, functions, components and ...
A Hybrid FCC/HZSM-5 Catalyst for the Catalytic Cracking of a VGO/Bio-Oil Blend in FCC Conditions
(MDPI, 2020)
The performance of a commercial FCC catalyst (designated as CY) and a physically mixed hybrid catalyst (80 wt.% CY and 20 wt.% HZSM-5-based catalyst, designated as CH) have been compared in the catalytic cracking of a ...
Advanced Algorithms and Common Solutions to Variational Inequalities
(MDPI, 2020-07-20)
The paper aims to present advanced algorithms arising out of adding the inertial technical and shrinking projection terms to ordinary parallel and cyclic hybrid inertial sub-gradient extra-gradient algorithms (for short, ...
Is Longevity Acceleration Sustainable? An Entropy-Based Trial of the Population of Spain vs. Japan
(MDPI, 2021-07-30)
Longevity risk is a major concern for governments around the world as they have to address social benefits, whether in the form of pensions, healthcare, or caring for dependents and providing long-term care, and so forth, ...
A General Inertial Projection-Type Algorithm for Solving Equilibrium Problem in Hilbert Spaces with Applications in Fixed-Point Problems
(MDPI, 2020-08-31)
A plethora of applications from mathematical programming, such as minimax, and mathematical programming, penalization, fixed point to mention a few can be framed as equilibrium problems. Most of the techniques for solving ...
Some New Results on a Three-Step Iteration Process
(MDPI, 2020-09-17)
The purpose of this research work is to prove some weak and strong convergence results for maps satisfying (E)-condition through three-step Thakur (J. Inequal. Appl.2014, 2014:328.) iterative process in Banach spaces. We ...
On Generalized Nonexpansive Maps in Banach Spaces
(MDPI, 2020-07-03)
We introduce a very general class of generalized non-expansive maps. This new class of maps properly includes the class of Suzuki non-expansive maps, Reich–Suzuki type non-expansive maps, and generalized α
-non-expansive ...
