The effect of the size of the board of directors on corporate social performance: A meta-analytic approach
(Wiley, 2020-04-15)
This paper examines the influence of the size of firms' board of directors on corporate social performance through a meta-analytic perspective. To that end, a sample of 80 articles that draw on evidence from more than ...
The T1D-associated lncRNA Lnc13 modulates human pancreatic β cell inflammation by allele-specific stabilization of STAT1 mRNA
(National Academy of Sciences, 2020-03-05)
The vast majority of type 1 diabetes (T1D) genetic association signals lie in non-coding regions of the human genome. Many have been predicted to affect the expression and secondary structure of long non-coding RNAs ...
The Six Isomers of the Cyclohexanol Dimer: A Delicate Test for Dispersion Models
(Wiley, 2020)
The cyclohexanol homodimer acts as a delicate test model of the role of dispersion forces in intermolecular association. Whereas phenol produces a single dimer, the suppression of π interactions and the larger conformational ...
Photoswitchable catalysis using organometallic complexes
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-04-30)
This review describes the state of the art in photoswitchable organometallic catalysis, underlining the importance of ligand design. The implementation of spatio-temporal control on known catalytic processes
has been ...

Self-assembly of a patterned hydrophobic-hydrophilic surface by soft segment microphase separation in a segmented polyurethane: Combined experimental study and molecular dynamics simulation
(Elsevier, 2020-03-30)
Designing surfaces with patterns of varying wettability is of significant importance for many applications. This fascinating feature is inspired from nature where it is absolutely vital for survival of some living creatures. ...
Simultaneous Microwave-Ultrasound Assisted Extraction of Bioactive Compounds from Bark
(2020-08-22)
Larix decidua is one of the fastest growing conifers and one of the most important coniferous tree species in Europe with high importance at wood-based industry; however, the bark generated from the debarking process is ...
Preparation and characterization of composites based on poly(lactic acid)/poly(methyl methacrylate) matrix and sisal fiber bundles: The effect of annealing process
(Sage, 2020-06-12)
The interest on poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) blends has increased during the last years due to their promising properties. The novelty of the current work focuses on the preparation and ...
