Human health problems and formaldehyde emission from wood-based composites are some of the major drawbacks of the traditional synthetic adhesives such as urea formaldehyde resins. There have been many attempts to decrease formaldehyde emission and re...
Recommendation systems play an important role in e-commerce turnover by presenting personalized recommendations. Due to the vast amount of marketing content online, users are less susceptible to these suggestions. In addition to the accuracy of a rec...
Pouget, Marion;Coussens, Anna K.;Ruggiero, Alessandra;Koch, Anastasia;Thomas, Jordan;Besra, Gurdyal S.;Wilkinson, Robert J.;Bhatt, Apoorva;Pollakis, Georgios;Paxton, William A. Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death among HIV-1-infected individuals and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) co-infection is an early precipitate to AIDS. We aimed to determine whether Mtb strains differentially modulate cellular susceptibil...
The clinical use of cytotoxic agents is plagued by systemic toxicity. We report a novel approach that seeks to design a “combi-molecule” to behave as an alkylating agent on its own and to undergo acid-catalyzed conversion to two bioactive species at ...
Acquired Neglect Dyslexia is often associated with right-hemisphere brain damage and is mainly characterized by omissions and substitutions in reading single words. Martelli et al. proposed in 2011 that these two types of error are due to different m...
Thanks to the analysis of an Interspecific Recombinant Congenic Strain (IRCS), we previously defined the Mafq1 quantitative trait locus as an interval on mouse Chromosome 1 associated with male hypofertility and ultrastructural abnormalities. We iden...
The influence of additives such as natural-based plasticiser acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC), CaCO(3) and lignin-coated cellulose nanocrystals (L-CNC) on the biodegradation of polylactic acid (PLA) biocomposites was studied by monitoring microbial met...
Looking for upconverting biocompatible nanoparticles, we have prepared by the sol–gel method, silica–calcia glass nanopowders doped with different concentration of Tm(3+) and Yb(3+) ions (Tm(3+) from 0.15 mol% up to 0.5 mol% and Yb(3+) from 1 mol% up...
Near-infrared photoimmunotherapy (NIR-PIT) is a new class of molecular targeted cancer therapy based on antibody–photoabsorber conjugates and NIR light irradiation. Recent studies have shown effective tumor control, including that of human epidermal ...
The Dunning-Kruger effect (DKE) is a metacognitive phenomenon of illusory superiority in which individuals who perform poorly on a task believe they performed better than others, yet individuals who performed very well believe they under-performed co...
