Tolkien, Shakespeare, Trees, and The Lord of the Rings
(Taylor & Francis, 2024-04-09)
J. R. R. Tolkien maintained an ambivalent attitude toward William Shakespeare throughout his life. As Tom Shippey succinctly affirms, Tolkien read Shakespeare’s works with both interest and disapproval. Shakespeare’s plays, ...
Genetics of ancestry-specific risk for relapse in acute lymphoblastic leukemia
(Springer Nature, 2017-01-18)
The causes of individual relapses in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) remain incompletely understood. We evaluated the contribution of germline genetic factors to relapse in 2225 children treated on Children's ...
Naphthalene-1,8-dicarboxylate based zinc coordination polymers: a photophysical study
(RSC, 2024)
Herein, we report the synthesis and photoluminescence properties of a new 1,3-dioxo-2-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[de]isoquinoline-6,7-dicarboxylic (H3L) ligand and three coordination polymers (CPs). Compound ...
Cardiac output estimation using ballistocardiography: a feasibility study in healthy subjects
(Nature, 2024)
There is no reliable automated non-invasive solution for monitoring circulation and guiding treatment in prehospital emergency medicine. Cardiac output (CO) monitoring might provide a solution, but CO monitors are not ...
The determination of optimum segmentation parameters using genetic algorithms: Application to different segmentation algorithms and transmission electron microscopy tomography reconstructed volumes
(Wiley, 2023-10)
A method for optimizing an automatic selection of values for parameters that feed segmentation algorithms is proposed. Evolutionary optimization techniques in combination with a fitness function based on a mutual information ...
Overcoming the Limitations of Organocatalyzed Glycolysis of Poly(ethylene terephthalate) to Facilitate the Recycling of Complex Waste Under Mild Conditions
(ACS, 2024-03)
Although multiple methods have been reported in the literature for the chemical recycling of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), large-scale depolymerization is not yet widely employed. The main reasons for the limited ...
Association of retinal neurodegeneration with the progression of cognitive decline in Parkinson’s disease
(Nature, 2024-01)
Retinal thickness may serve as a biomarker in Parkinson’s disease (PD). In this prospective longitudinal study, we aimed to determine if PD patients present accelerated thinning rate in the parafoveal ganglion cell-inner ...
Degradable Alternating Copolymers by Radical Copolymerization of 2-Methylen-1,3-dioxepane and Crotonate Esters
(ACS, 2024-03)
Producing backbone degradable copolymers via free-radical copolymerization is a promising, yet challenging method to develop more sustainable materials for many applications. In this work, we present the copolymerization ...
PK/PD modeling and simulation of the in vitro activity of the combinations of isavuconazole with echinocandins against Candida auris
(Wiley, 2023-06)
In vitro combination of echinocandins and isavuconazole against the emerging species Candida auris is mainly synergistic. However, this combination has not been evaluated in clinical settings. A pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic ...
Dielectric characterisation of chitosan-based composite membranes containing fractionated kraft and organosolv lignin
(Elsevier, 2024-03)
Chitosan-based composite membranes with fractionated kraft and organosolv lignin were prepared by solvent casting. A small lignin fraction (1%) was added to the neat chitosan to obtain a good distribution. The influence ...
