Isolation and characterization of microsatellite markers in the liver fluke (Fasciola hepatica)

2004

PRIMER NOTE; International audience; Six microsatellite markers were isolated from Fasciola hepatica, a re-emerging parasite that causes important veterinary and public health problems. In a sample of 52 liver flukes from a region of hyperendemicity (Bolivian Altiplano), five microsatellite were polymorphic. Our results showed that liver flukes present important genetic variability, suggesting a preferential outcrossing reproduction mode for this hermaphroditic parasite.

Predicting stiffness and strength of birch pulp:Polylactic acid composites

2016

This paper studies failure of birch pulp–polylactic acid composites. Stiffness and strength are calculated using the theory of short fibre composites and the results are compared to experimental data. The results differed from the experimental values by 0–6%. With less aligned fibres the short fibre theory is not feasible. The performance of the 40 wt% birch pulp – polylactic acid composite is predicted with X-ray microtomography based finite element modelling, and the results are compared with experiments. Stiffness results differed from experiments by 1–17% . By adding into the models a third material phase representing the interface between the fibres and the matrix, the stress–strain c…

Microwave response of bulk MgB2 samples of different granularity

2006

The microwave response of three high-density bulk MgB2 samples has been investigated in the linear and nonlinear regimes. The three samples, characterized by different mean size of grains, have been obtained by reactive infiltration of liquid Mg in powdered B preforms. The linear response has been studied by measuring the microwave surface impedance; the nonlinear response by detecting the power radiated by the sample at the second-harmonic frequency of the driving field. Our results suggest that bulk MgB2 prepared by the liquid Mg infiltration technique is particularly promising for manufacturing resonant cavities operating at microwave frequencies.

Green conditions for the Suzuki reaction using microwave irradiation and a new HNT- supported ionic liquid-like phase (HNT-SILLP) catalyst

2014

A new catalytic system based on modified halloysite nanotubes was employed in the Suzuki reaction under microwave irradi- ation. A set of solvents, times and bases was screened and the best experimental conditions were obtained when the reactions were carried out for 10 min in water–ethanol at 120 °C in presence of K2CO3 as base. Good recyclability was observed. The new catalytic system was employed using either 1 mol% or 0.1 mol%. The palladium catalyst displayed good activity, allowing the synthesis of several biphenyl compounds in high yield working with only 0.1 mol% palladium loading. The application of mi- crowave irradiation decreased the reaction time and also improved conversion wi…

Suolistomikrobiston koostumuksen erot HCR- ja LCR -rotilla ja yhteys viskeraalisen rasvakudoksen geenien ilmentymiseen

2016

Hongisto, T. 2016. Suolistomikrobiston koostumuksen erot HCR- ja LCR -rotilla ja yhteys viskeraalisen rasvakudoksen geenien ilmentymiseen. Terveystieteiden laitos, Jyväskylän yliopisto, Liikuntalääketieteen pro gradu -tutkielma, 62s, 4 liitettä. Suolistomikrobistolla on osoitettu olevan merkittäviä vaikutuksia isännän terveyteen. Se vaikuttaa muun muassa lihavuuden kehittymiseen. Elimistön rasvan määrän vaihtelun on puolestaan havaittu vaikuttavan suolistomikrobiston koostumukseen. Sekä synnynnäisen että hankitun aerobisen kapasiteetin yhteyttä suolistomikrobistoon ei ole juuri tutkittu. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää suolistomikrobiston koostumuksen ja viskeraalisen rasvakudo…

Bedrock and soil geochemistry influence the content of chemical elements in wild edible mushrooms (Morchella group) from South Italy (Sicily)

2019

Chemical elements in the samples of wild edible mushrooms of the <em>Morchella</em> group collected from different unpolluted Sicilian sites was analyzed by the ICP-MS (method) to detect the content of their minerals and determine whether soil geology and geochemistry can influence the chemical composition in fungi. Results showed that the mushroom samples mainly contained a high concentration of K and P and a wide variety of minor and trace elements (V, Mo, Pb, Ce, Cs, Zr), including heavy metals. Statistical analysis showed that the mushrooms differed in their content of minor and trace elements based on the geological/geographic site of origin. Comparison with other studies s…

Influence Des Conditions De Fabrication Sur Les Propriétés Mécaniques Et Physico-Chimiques D'un Composite Lin/Époxy Unidirectionnel

2017

This study focused on the development of a manufacturing process of laminated composites made from DGEBA epoxy matrix and flax fibers. The aim is to produce a material with good and low dispersed mechanical properties. Thermocompression is the chosen manufacturing method because it enables the production of composite with high fiber content. We used separated matrix and reinforcement, and not a prepreg, to fully control each component of our composites. Several curing cycle parameters have been tested in order to optimize mechanical properties and processing time. A multi-scale analyze has been carried on the produced composites in order to quantify the range of properties’ modifications. T…
