Temperature-induced self-assembly of degalactosylated xyloglucan at low concentration

2015

Xyloglucan is a natural polysaccharide having a cellulose-like backbone and hydroxyl groups-rich side-chains. In its native form the polymer is water-soluble and forms gel only in presence of selected co-solutes. When a given fraction of galactosyl residues are removed by enzymatic reaction, the polymer acquires the ability to form a gel in aqueous solution at physiological temperatures, a property of great interest for biomedical/pharmaceutical applications. This work presents data on the effect of a temperature increase on degalactosylated xyloglucan dispersed in water at concentration low enough not to run into macroscopic gelation. Results obtained over a wide interval of length scales …

INTERPRETATION OF POTENTIAL INTERMITTENCE TITRATION TECHNIQUE EXPERIMENTS FOR VARIOUS Li-INTERCALATION ELECTRODES

2002

In this paper we compare two different approaches for the calculation of the enhancement factor Wi , based on its definition as the ratio of the chemical and the component diffusion coefficients for species in mixed-conduction electrodes, originated from the “dilute solution” or “lattice gas” models for the ion system. The former approach is only applicable for small changes of the ion concentration while the latter allows one to consider a broad range of intercalation levels. The component diffusion coefficient of lithium ions has been determined for a series of lithium intercalation anodes and cathodes. A new “enhancement factor” for the ion transport has been defined and its relations to…

Effect of doping and crystallite size on the electrochemical performance of Li4Ti5O12

2016

Abstract Defect spinel phase lithium titanate (Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 ) has been suggested as a promising negative electrode material for next generation lithium ion batteries. Flame spray pyrolysis has been shown to be a viable fast, one-step process for synthesis of nanoparticulate Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 . However, due to the rapid quenching that is integral to the process the crystallite size remain very small and non-uniform. To overcome this shortcoming a vertical flow tube furnace was used to increase the high-temperature residence time. This resulted in an increase in the crystallite size and crystallinity of the product. As a result of this increase the electrochemical performance of the Li 4 Ti 5 …

Gradient estimates for heat kernels and harmonic functions

2020

Let $(X,d,\mu)$ be a doubling metric measure space endowed with a Dirichlet form $\E$ deriving from a "carr\'e du champ". Assume that $(X,d,\mu,\E)$ supports a scale-invariant $L^2$-Poincar\'e inequality. In this article, we study the following properties of harmonic functions, heat kernels and Riesz transforms for $p\in (2,\infty]$: (i) $(G_p)$: $L^p$-estimate for the gradient of the associated heat semigroup; (ii) $(RH_p)$: $L^p$-reverse H\"older inequality for the gradients of harmonic functions; (iii) $(R_p)$: $L^p$-boundedness of the Riesz transform ($p<\infty$); (iv) $(GBE)$: a generalised Bakry-\'Emery condition. We show that, for $p\in (2,\infty)$, (i), (ii) (iii) are equivalent, wh…

La “canalizzazione” dell’impugnazione cautelare per l’offeso-postulante nei reati violenti

2022

Il Supremo consesso nega il diritto della persona offesa di impugnare, anche con il ricorso per cassazione, l’ordinanza di revoca o sostituzione della misura cautelare coercitiva nei procedimenti per reati commessi con violenza alla persona, restando ferma la possibilità che la stessa persona offesa chieda al pubblico ministero, ai sensi dell’art. 572 c.p.p., di proporre impugnazione. L’affermazione stentorea mina le prerogative della “vittima” nel codice di rito e, in particolare, le potenzialità del contraddittorio nell’incidente cautelare relativo ai reati violenti.

Scaffold and scaffold-free self-assembled systems in regenerative medicine.

2016

Self-assembly in tissue engineering refers to the spontaneous chemical or biological association of components to form a distinct functional construct, reminiscent of native tissue. Such self-assembled systems have been widely used to develop platforms for the delivery of therapeutic and/or bioactive molecules and various cell populations. Tissue morphology and functional characteristics have been recapitulated in several self-assembled constructs, designed to incorporate stimuli responsiveness and controlled architecture through spatial confinement or field manipulation. In parallel, owing to substantial functional properties, scaffold-free cell-assembled devices have aided in the developm…
