Solvent and catalyst effect in the formic acid aided lignin-to-liquids
(Elsevier, 2018-09-13)
[EN] The effect of the type of solvent, ethanol or water, and a Ru/C catalyst were studied in the formic acid aided lignin conversion. The best results were obtained in the presence of the Ru/C catalyst and using ethanol ...
Pb(II) Induces Scramblase Activation and Ceramide-Domain Generation in Red Blood Cells
(Nature Publishing, 2018-05-10)
The mechanisms of Pb(II) toxicity have been studied in human red blood cells using confocal microscopy, immunolabeling, fluorescence-activated cell sorting and atomic force microscopy. The process follows a sequence of ...
Some characterizations of the tensor product of complete lattices with applications to quantales
(Springer, 2018-09-17)
This paper examines tensor products of complete lattices in which one factor is com- pletely distributive. At least five characterizations of complete distributivity involving tensor products of complete lattices are given, ...
Involvement of SNPs in miR-3117 and miR-3689d2 in Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Risk
(Board, 2018-04-01)
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer in children. Numerous studies have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) could play a role in this disease. Nowadays, more than 2500 miRNAs have been described, that ...
Stability of a Rh/CeO2–ZrO2 Catalyst in the Oxidative Steam Reforming of Raw Bio-oil
(ACS, 2018-02-21)
The oxidative steam reforming (OSR) of raw bio-oil (obtained by fast pyrolysis of pine sawdust) has been studied on a Rh/CeO2-ZrO2 catalyst under a wide range of operating conditions (600-750 ºC; steam to carbon molar ratio ...
A “Blood Relationship” Between the Overlooked Minimum Lactate Equivalent and Maximal Lactate Steady State in Trained Runners. Back to the Old Days?
(Frontiers Media, 2018-07)
Maximal Lactate Steady State (MLSS) and Lactate Threshold (LT) are physiologically-related and fundamental concepts within the sports and exercise sciences. Literature supporting their relationship, however, is scarce. ...
Power Control Optimization of an Underwater Piezoelectric Energy Harvester
(MDPI, 2018-03)
Over the past few years, it has been established that vibration energy harvesters with intentionally designed components can be used for frequency bandwidth enhancement under excitation for sufficiently high vibration ...
Analysis of New Strategies to Reach Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (nZEBs)
(MDPI, 2018-11-07)
The need to reduce CO2 emissions makes it necessary to review most areas of human activity because we are the main source of these emissions. In particular, the building sector is one of its main responsible. Through a ...
5 MW Wind Turbine Annual Energy Production Improvement by Flow Control Devices
(MDPI, 2018-11-06)
Several flow control devices have been studied in recent years. Majority of them were designed firstly for aeronautical purposes. At present many research is aimed to introduce these devices in wind turbines (WTs) in order ...
