Understanding the olfactory role in post-COVID cognitive and neuropsychiatric manifestations
(Frontiers Media, 2024)
Introduction: Olfactory dysfunction (OD) is frequent after SARS-CoV-2 infection. The aim of this study was to examine if long-term OD is common in post-COVID condition, and the relationship between olfaction, cognition, ...
Unveiling the electronic origin of lanthanide based Metal Organic Framework with ideal spin filtering capacity
(Nature, 2024)
Recently, a three dimensional metal-organic framework (MOF) based on Dy(III) and the L-tartrate ligand was experimentally shown to exhibit a spin polarization (SP) power of 100% at room temperature. The material’s spin ...
On the additive artificial intelligence-based discovery of nanoparticle neurodegenerative disease drug delivery systems
(Beilstein-Institut, 2024)
Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by slowly progressing neuronal cell death. Conventional drug treatment strategies often fail because of poor solubility, low bioavailability, and the inability of the drugs to ...
Therapeutic role of voltage-gated potassium channels in age-related neurodegenerative diseases
(Frontiers Media, 2024-05)
Voltage-gated ion channels are essential for membrane potential maintenance, homeostasis, electrical signal production and controlling the Ca2+ flow through the membrane. Among all ion channels, the key regulators of ...
The Genetic Background of Metabolic Trait Clusters in Children and Adolescents
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2017)
Background: It is well known that metabolic risk factors of cardiovascular diseases are correlated, but the
background of this clustering in children is more poorly known than in adults. Thus, we studied the contribution
of ...
Hardware design of a high-current, high step-down ratio Series Capacitor Buck converter prototype for slow-ramped powering of High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider inner triplet superconducting electromagnets
(Elsevier, 2024-06-24)
In this work, the main hardware design aspects of a slow-ramped DC/DC power converter prototype, developed to feed superconducting inner triplet (IT) electromagnets for the High Luminosity (HL) upgrade of the Large Hadron ...
Bioaccumulation and chronic toxicity of arsenic and zinc in the aquatic oligochaetes Branchiura sowerbyi and Tubifex tubifex (Annelida, Clitellata)
(Elsevier, 2021-08-28)
Oligochaetes feed on bulk sediment and penetrate the sediment through the construction of burrows, making them especially vulnerable to sediment metal contamination. However, the few oligochaete species that have been ...
Acute toxicity of zinc and arsenic to the warmwater aquatic oligochaete Branchiura sowerbyi as compared to its coldwater counterpart Tubifex tubifex (Annelida, Clitellata)
(Springer, 2016-07-12)
Purpose This study aimed at evaluating the acute effects of arsenic and zinc to the warmwater aquatic oligochaete Branchiura sowerbyi. Relative sensitivity with the coldwater species Tubifex tubifex was compared. Implications ...
Derivation of sediment Hg quality standards based on ecological assessment in river basins
(Elsevier, 2018-11-28)
The Environmental Quality Standards (EQS) directive was an important improvement of long-term water quality monitoring at the European level, leading to the use of sediments and biota as relevant matrices for assessing ...
Association between birth weight and educational attainment: an individual-based pooled analysis of nine twin cohorts
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2018-05-30)
Background There is evidence that birth weight is
positively associated with education, but it remains
unclear whether this association is explained by familial
environmental factors, genetic factors or the intrauteri ...
