Educational attainment of same-sex and opposite-sex dizygotic twins: An individual-level pooled study of 19 twin cohorts
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
Comparing twins from same- and opposite-sex pairs can provide information on potential sex differences in a
variety of outcomes, including socioeconomic-related outcomes such as educational attainment. It has been
suggested ...
MLb-LDLr: A Machine Learning Model for Predicting the Pathogenicity of LDLr Missense Variants
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
Untreated familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) leads to atherosclerosis and early cardiovascular disease. Mutations in the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLr) gene constitute the major cause of FH, and the high number ...
Optical fiber interferometer for temperature-independent refractive index measuring over a broad range
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
The present work relates to manufacturing of a simple interferometric optical fiber refractometer that features broad refractive index measuring range without ambiguity. The device consists of a cylindrical polymer cavity ...
Temperature dependence of the rate coefficient of formation of CN radical from C + NH
(Elsevier, 2021-05)
Rate coefficients of the complex-forming C + NHH + CN reaction have been calculated at temperatures ranging from 5 K to 800 K using quasi-classical trajectories on a potential energy surface which accurately describes the ...
A feasibility study of the installation of a modular bioreactor inside a chemical scrubber at a wastewater treatment plant
(Elsevier, 2021-03)
Chemical scrubbing and biofiltration are well-established technologies for treating contaminated pollutants generated at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Nevertheless, the growing need to reduce the ecological footprint ...
3D printed alginate-cellulose nanofibers based patches for local curcumin administration
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
Alginate and nanocellulose are potential biomaterials to be employed as bioinks for three-dimensional (3D) printing. Alginate-cellulose nanofibers (A-CNF) formulations with CNF amounts up to 5 wt% were developed and ...
Fast and efficient address search in System-on-a-Programmable-Chip using binary trees
(Elsevier, 2021-12)
One processing task in Ethernet nodes is to manage Media Access Control (MAC) addresses: search, insert new, and delete old ones. For this purpose, Content-Addressable Memorys (CAMs) offer low latency and no collisions; ...
Survival in the Intensive Care Unit: A prognosis model based on Bayesian classifiers
(Elsevier, 2021-05)
We develop a predictive prognosis model to support medical experts in their clinical decision-making process in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) (a) to enhance early mortality prediction, (b) to make more efficient medical ...
In line upgrading of biomass fast pyrolysis products using low-cost catalysts
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
Biomass pyrolysis and the in-line catalytic cracking of the pyrolysis volatile stream has been approached in this study. The pyrolysis step was carried out in a conical spouted bed reactor at 500 °C, whereas the inert sand ...
On the relationship between cutting forces and anisotropy features in the milling of LPBF Inconel 718 for near net shape parts
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
The versatility and potential applications of additive manufacturing have accelerated the development of additive/subtractive hybrid manufacturing methods. LPBF processes are exceptionally efficient at producing complex-shaped, ...
