Ni alloy nanowires as high efficiency electrode materialsnfor alkaline electrolysers
2020
Hydrogen production by water electrolysis (WE) is a very promising technology because it is a pollution-free process especially if renewable sources are employed to energy supply. Nowadays, the cost of hydrogen production by WE is higher than other available technologies, which makes WE not competitive. Many efforts have been made to improve WE performance, through the use of electrodes made of transition metal alloys as cathode and compound of metal oxide as anode [1]. In the field of water-alkaline electrolyzer, the development of cheap nanoporous based nickel electrodes with high electrocatalytic features is one of the potential approaches to increase the WE performance [2]. A facile met…

The Relationship of Amelogenesis Imperfecta and Nephrocalcinosis Syndrome
2008
Aim: To analyze the prevalence and associated oral findings of nephrocalcinosis in a group of patients affected with amelogenesis imperfecta (AI). The relationship between types of AI and nephrocalcinosis were also evaluated. Design: This study examines patients who were referred to Pediatric Dentistry Department of SDU between the years of 2002-2007 and who, upon clinical and radiological examination, were diagnosed with AI and treated. Patients were offered information about the possibility of nephrocalcinosis syndrome. Patients who agreed to have tests carried out on their renal system were advised to visit the department of nephrology at the clinic. Results: Suspicious radiopacity was o…
Diagnóstico precoz de la neumonía asociada al ventilador. Evaluación seriada de biomarcadores en minilavado broncoalveolar y monitorización microbiol…
2015
La Neumonía asociada a ventilación mecánica (NAV) es un tipo de neumonía nosocomial que se desarrolla tras más de 48 horas de VM, siendo una complicación frecuente y grave cuyo pronóstico se ensombrece por un diagnóstico y tratamiento tardío. Desgraciadamente, con las herramientas actuales no siempre es posible llegar a un diagnóstico correcto y definitivo. El desarrollo de la misma es un proceso dinámico y dado que debe existir una respuesta inflamatoria precoz ante la infección, inicialmente compartimentalizada a nivel pulmonar, nuestra HIPÓTESIS de partida consiste en que la determinación de mediadores inflamatorios liberados durante dicha reacción a nivel pulmonar debería facilitar y an…
Neurocalcin-immunoreactive cells in the rat hippocampus are GABAergic interneurons
1998
Neurocalcin (NC) is a recently described calcium-binding protein isolated and characterized from bovine brain. NC belongs to the neural calcium-sensor proteins defined by the photoreceptor cell-specific protein recoverin that have been proposed to be involved in the regulation of calcium-dependent phosphorylation in signal transduction pathways. We analyzed the distribution and morphology of the NC-immunoreactive (IR) neurons in the rat dorsal hippocampus and the coexistence of NC with GABA and different neurochemical markers which label perisomatic inhibitory cells [parvalbumin (PV) and cholecystokinin (CCK)], mid-proximal dendritic inhibitory cells [calbindin D28k (CB)], distal dendritic …
Synaptic connectivity of the cholinergic axons in the olfactory bulb of the cynomolgus monkey.
2015
The olfactory bulb (OB) of mammals receives cholinergic afferents from the horizontal limb of the diagonal band of Broca (HDB). At present, the synaptic connectivity of the cholinergic axons on the circuits of the OB has only been investigated in the rat. In this report, we analyze the synaptic connectivity of the cholinergic axons in the OB of the cynomolgus monkey (Macaca fascicularis). Our aim is to investigate whether the cholinergic innervation of the bulbar circuits is phylogenetically conserved between macrosmatic and microsmatic mammals. Our results demonstrate that the cholinergic axons form synaptic contacts on interneurons. In the glomerular layer, their main targets are the peri…
A Versatile Synthesis of Fluorinated Uracils in Solution and on Solid-Phase.
2004
[reaction: see text] An efficient and convenient two-step synthesis of new fluorinated uracils is described. The first step involves the condensation of an ester enolate with a fluorinated nitrile to furnish fluorinated beta-enamino esters. In turn, these compounds react with organic isocyanates or isothiocyanates to give C-6 fluorinated uracils or thiouracils, respectively, in excellent yields. This synthesis has been successfully adapted to solid-phase conditions with high diversity, thereby facilitating the creation of small (thio)uracil libraries.
Propagation pattern analysis during atrial fibrillation based on sparse modeling.
2012
In this study, sparse modeling is introduced for the estimation of propagation patterns in intracardiac atrial fibrillation (AF) signals. The estimation is based on the partial directed coherence function, derived from fitting a multivariate autoregressive model to the observed signal using least-squares (LS) estimation. The propagation pattern analysis incorporates prior information on sparse coupling as well as the distance between the recording sites. Two optimization methods are employed for estimation of the model parameters, namely, the adaptive group least absolute selection and shrinkage operator (aLASSO), and a novel method named the distance-adaptive group LASSO (dLASSO). Using si…
Complete sequencing of Novosphingobium sp. PP1Y reveals a biotechnologically meaningful metabolic pattern.
2014
Background Novosphingobium sp. strain PP1Y is a marine α-proteobacterium adapted to grow at the water/fuel oil interface. It exploits the aromatic fraction of fuel oils as a carbon and energy source. PP1Y is able to grow on a wide range of mono-, poly- and heterocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Here, we report the complete functional annotation of the whole Novosphingobium genome. Results PP1Y genome analysis and its comparison with other Sphingomonadal genomes has yielded novel insights into the molecular basis of PP1Y’s phenotypic traits, such as its peculiar ability to encapsulate and degrade the aromatic fraction of fuel oils. In particular, we have identified and dissected several highly …
Nanostructuring and strengthening of LiF crystals by swift heavy ions: AFM, XRD and nanoindentation study
2012
Abstract Modifications of the structure and micromechanical properties of LiF crystals under high-fluence irradiation (10 11 –10 13 ions cm −2 ) with swift C, Ti, Au and U ions of the specific energy of 11.1 MeV/u have been studied. In the case of heavy ions (U, Au), the AFM and SEM results reveal the bulk nanostructure consisting of columnar grains with nano-scale dimensions (50–100 nm). For lighter C ions the structure enriched with prismatic dislocation loops has been observed. High-resolution XRD reciprocal space maps for nano-structured LiF expose a mosaic-type structure with low-angle boundaries between grains.
