Water-Based Suspensions of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles with Electrostatic or Steric Stabilization by Chitosan: Fabrication, Characterization and Biocompatibility
(MDPI, 2017-11-13)
Present day biomedical applications, including magnetic biosensing, demand better understanding of the interactions between living systems and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). In this work spherical MNPs of maghemite were ...
Electronic non-adiabatic dynamics in enhanced ionization of isotopologues of hydrogen molecular ions from the exact factorization perspective
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017-03-28)
It was recently shown that the exact potential driving the electron's dynamics in enhanced ionization of H-2(+) can have large contributions arising from dynamic electron-nuclear correlation, going beyond what any ...
Periprosthetic seroma with false-positive FDG PET-CT reactive nodes mistaken for metastases in a patient previously treated of metastasic melanoma. Potential source of diagnostic errors
(MDPI, 2017)
INTRODUCTION: FDG PET/CT is believed to be crucial in oncology, but its limited specificity represents a challenge. Prosthetic meshes used for repair abdominal defects may lead to false-positives FDG PET/CT uptake, over ...
Routing in MobileWireless Sensor Networks: A Leader-Based Approach
(MDPI, 2017-07)
This paper presents a leader-based approach to routing in Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks (MWSN). Using local information from neighbour nodes, a leader election mechanism maintains a spanning tree in order to provide the ...
Valuing nature’s contributions to people: the IPBES approach
(Elsevier, 2017-06)
Nature is perceived and valued in starkly different and often conflicting ways. This paper presents the rationale for the inclusive valuation of nature's contributions to people (NCP) in decision making, as well as broad ...
Smart Grid Applications for a Practical Implementation of IP over Narrowband Power Line Communications
(MDPI, 2017-11-06)
Abstract
Currently, Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) systems have equipped the low voltage section with a communication system that is being used mainly for metering purposes, but it can be further employed for ...
Geoarchaeological Core Prospection as a Tool to Validate Archaeological Interpretation Based on Geophysical Data at the Roman Settlement of Auritz/Burguete and Aurizberri/Espinal (Navarre)
(MDPI, 2017-10-13)
Geophysical survey methods are broadly used to delimit and characterize archaeological sites, but the archaeological interpretation of geophysical data remains one of the challenges. Indeed, many scenarios can generate a ...
Phantom Membrane Microfluidic Cross-Flow Filtration Device for the Direct Optical Detection of Water Pollutants
(Elservier, 2017-11-06)
The diffusion of autonomous sensing platforms capable of a remote large-scale surveillance of environmental water basins is currently limited by the cost and complexity of standard analytical methods. In order to create a ...
Poly(ionic Liquid) Thermo-responsive Hydrogel Microfluidic Actuators
(2017-03-14)
tributylhexyl phosphonium sulfopropylacrylate (PSPA) poly(ionic liquid) (PILc) hydrogels as temperature controlled actuators in microfluidic devices. The hydrogel size is modulated by localised changes in its temperature ...
Hvad de skrifva i tidningare i Stockholm” Prensa y opinión pública en Suecia ante la emigración temprana a América (1861-1865)
(Universidade Federal de São Paulo, 2017-12)
Este artículo analiza el modo en el que la prensa sueca presentó la emigración a América en el periodo comprendido entre 1861 y 1865, es decir, en los años de la Guerra Civil en Estados Unidos. Este país comenzaba a ser, ...
