A study on the assessment of the production costs curves in micro-grids
2013
In micro-grids, due to their small scale, there is commonly only one power supplier. A competitive wholesale market hardly exists, so the question about how to consider market issues for small producers within micro-grids arises. On the other hand, the specific features of micro-grids where load and generated power hardly find a balance, require that customers take part to regulation issues, also using demand-response (DR) programs. In this paper, price responsive (PR) policies and their programs are discussed to answer this question. A case study of a micro-grid with one micro-turbine and two photovoltaic (PV) generators is analyzed to assess the overall production cost in order to build a…
Complex technological and biological research of solutions for peritoneal dialysis
2018
Objective : The purpose of our work was to conduct technological, analytical, and biological investigations and stability studies of peritoneal dialysis (PD) solutions containing glucose and sodium lactate in single-chamber containers. Methods : Different formulations of PD solutions were prepared and sterilized at a temperature of 121 °C during 15 m. UV-spectrophotometric determination was performed using purified water as a blank. The spectra of the solutions were run in the range of 220 to 400 nm for the identification of an absorption maximum (λ max ) and measuring the absorbance at 228-230 nm and λ max before and after heat sterilization. λ max of the most PD solutions after sterilizat…
Prognostic and Predictive Role of Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TILs) in Ovarian Cancer
2022
In the last decade, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) have been recognized as clinically relevant prognostic markers for improved survival, providing the immunological basis for the development of new therapeutic strategies and showing a significant prognostic and predictive role in several malignancies, including ovarian cancer (OC). In fact, many OCs show TILs whose typology and degree of infiltration have been shown to be strongly correlated with prognosis and survival. The OC histological subtype with the higher presence of TILs is the high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) followed by the endometrioid subtype, whereas mucinous and clear cell OCs seem to contain a lower percentage of TI…
Nenoteiksmes lietojums programmatūras rokasgrāmatās
2019
Šī pētījuma mērķis ir izpētīt nenoteiksmes lietojumu Microsoft programmatūras rokasgrāmatās. Šis pētījums var būt noderīgs tehniskajiem rakstniekiem, kuri izstrādā jaunu tehnisko dokumentāciju un lietotājiem, kuri interpretē un veic darbības, kas atbilst lietotāju vajadzībām. Lai veikt pētījumu, tika analizēti nenoteiksmes, diskursa analīze un tehniskā dokumentācijas jēdzieni. Pētījuma mērķa sasniegšanai tika izmantotas kvantitatīvās un kvalitatīvās metodes. Pētījuma rezultāti ir parādījuši, ka visbiežāk sastopamā nenoteiksmes funkcija ir saliktā izteicēja sastāvdaļa. Tajā paša laika, nenoteiksmes vienkāršā aktīvā forma ir visbiežāk sastopamā forma.
The effect of a temperature-sensitive prophage on the evolution of virulence in an opportunistic bacterial pathogen.
2022
https://doi.org/10.1111/mec.16638 Abstract Viruses are key actors of ecosystems and have major impacts on global biogeochemical cycles. Prophages deserve particular attention as they are ubiquitous in bacterial genomes and can enter a lytic cycle when triggered by environmental conditions. We explored how temperature affects the interactions between prophages and other biological levels by using an opportunistic pathogen, the bacterium Serratia marcescens, that harbours several prophages and that had undergone an evolution experiment under several temperature regimes. We found that the release of one of the prophages was temperature-sensitive and malleable to evolutionary changes. We furthe…
Characterization and processability of molecular-based nanoparticles and 2D crystals by scanning probe microscopy
2014
El desarrollo de nuevos dispositivos multifuncionales se basa en la posibilidad de miniaturización de sus componentes así como de su ensamblado de una manera controlada. Conocer el tamaño, la forma y las propiedades de estos nanocomponentes así como poder integrarlos y combinarlos a voluntad son factores cruciales a la hora de diseñar dispositivos inteligentes que integren estas nanoestructuras con macro(nano) electrodos. El reto que se plantea tiene pues dos vertientes: por un lado la caracterización y manipulación de nuevos materiales en la nanoescala, y por otro, su organización en superficies y/o su ensamblado para crear materiales multifuncionales heteroestructurados. En esta tesis se …

Optimization of the Red Tilapia (Oreochromis spp.) Viscera Hydrolysis for Obtaining Iron-Binding Peptides and Evaluation of In Vitro Iron Bioavailabi…
2020
Iron deficiencies continue to cause significant health problems in vulnerable populations. A good strategy to combat mineral deficiency includes fortification with iron-binding peptides. This research aims to determine the optimal conditions to hydrolyze red tilapia viscera (RTV) using Alcalase 2.4 L and recovery of iron-binding protein hydrolysate. The result showed that under the optimal hydrolysis condition including pH 10, 60 °
