A Milestone in the Chemical Synthesis of Fe3O4 Nanoparticles: Unreported Bulklike Properties Lead to a Remarkable Magnetic Hyperthermia
(ACS, 2021-11-10)
Among iron oxide phases, magnetite (Fe3O4) is
often the preferred one for nanotechnological and biomedical
applications because of its high saturation magnetization and low
toxicity. Although there are several synthetic ...
Revisiting the concept of the ‘Neolithic Founder Crops’ in southwest Asia
(Springer Nature, 2023)
Zohary and Hopf coined the term ‘founder crops’ to refer to a specific group of eight plants, namely three cereals (einkorn, emmer and barley), four legumes (lentil, pea, bitter vetch and chickpea), and a fibre/oil crop ...
Fluorescence Amplification of Unsaturated Oxazolones Using Palladium: Photophysical and Computational Studies
(ACS, 2023)
Weakly fluorescent (Z)-4-arylidene-5-(4H)-oxazolones (1), ΦPL < 0.1%, containing a variety of conjugated aromatic fragments and/or charged arylidene moieties, have been orthopalladated by reaction with Pd(OAc)2. The resulting ...
An Emerging Nanozyme Class for à la carte Enzymatic-Like Activities based on Protein-Metal Nanocluster Hybrids
(Wiley, 2023-09)
In this study, the goal is to fabricate robust and highly efficient peroxidase-like nanozymes that can ultimately be assembled into films for their easy reuse in catalytic cycles. Nanozymes are designed by mimicking the ...
Novel control algorithm for MPPT with Boost converters in photovoltaic systems
(Elsevier, 2017-07)
The great advances in efficiency and performance of photovoltaic modules would not be very useful if they do not work close to their maximum power point (MPP). In this paper a novel Sliding Mode Control (SMC) based algorithm ...
Robotic-Arm-Based Force Control by Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient in Neurosurgical Practice
(MDPI, 2023-09-30)
This research continues the previous work “Robotic-Arm-Based Force Control in Neurosurgical Practice”. In that study, authors acquired an optimal control arm speed shape for neurological surgery which minimized ...
The effect of low temperature on the Raman spectra of calcium-rich sulfates on Mars
(Cambridge University Press, 2023-07)
Raman spectra (532 nm diode laser) of gypsum, syngenite and görgeyite powders were studied from 273 to 83 K every −10 K. Although it was found that not all the Raman peaks are temperature-sensitive, the effect of temperature ...
Contributions of Bottom-Up Energy Transitions in Germany: A Case Study Analysis
(MDPI, 2017-04)
Within the context of an energy transition towards achieving a renewable low-impact energy consumption system, this study analyses how bottom-up initiatives can contribute to state driven top-down efforts to achieve the ...
Microtab design and implementation on a 5MW wind turbine
(MDPI, 2017-05-24)
Microtabs (MT) consist of a small tab placed on the airfoil surface close to the trailing edge and perpendicular to the surface. A study to find the optimal position to improve airfoil aerodynamic performance is presented. ...
Robust labeling of human motion markers in the presence of occlusions
(Elsevier, 2019-08-11)
Human motion capture by optical sensors produces snapshots of the motion of a cloud of points that need to be labeled in order to carry out ensuing motion analysis for medical or other purposes. We generate the labeling ...
