Lipodepsipeptides from Pseudomonas syringae are partially proteolyzed and are not absorbed by humans: An in vitro study
2008
There are some concerns about the use of Pseudomonas-based products as biocontrol agents because of the hemolytic activity shown by their metabolites. The effects of Pseudomonas lipodepsipeptides (LDPs) on mammals via ingestion and the LDP degradation during the digestion and intestinal permeability have not been evaluated. In this research, the susceptibility of different LDPs to degradation was assayed with enzymatic gastrointestinal digestion, and intestinal permeability to LDPs was investigated in an in vitro system based on an intestinal cell layer system. Results demonstrated that trypsin and chymotrypsin hydrolyze up to 50% of the various LDPs, and that proteolysis was further increa…
Glycerosomes:investigation of role of 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidycholine (DMPC) on the assembling and skin delivery performances
2017
Glycerosomes were formulated using 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidycholine (DMPC), diclofenac sodium salt and 10, 20 or 30% glycerol in the water phase, while corresponding liposomes were prepared with the same amount of DMPC and diclofenac, without glycerol. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the effect of the used phospholipid on vesicle features and ability to favour diclofenac skin deposition by comparing these results with those found in previous works performed using hydrogenated soy phosphatidylcholine (P90H) and dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC). Liposomes and glycerosomes were multilamellar, liposomes being smaller (72±6nm). Interactions among glycerol, phospho…

ODS tērauda izejmateriālu lokālās struktūras analīze izmantojot Ti un Y K-malas rentgenabsorbcijas spektroskopiju
2017
Šajā darbā tika izmantota rentgenstaru absorbcijas spektru analīze oksīdu stiprinātam tēraudam (ODS), kas ir perspektīvs materiāls dažādās jomās, piemēram, saules elektrostacijās, reaktīvos dzinējos, ķīmiskos reaktoros un kodolreaktoros, jo materiālam piemīt tādas īpašības kā laba siltumvadītspēja un zema termiskās izplešanās apvienojumā ar augstu temperatūras izturību, korozijas un radiācijas pretestību. Darbā tiek iegūta informācija par ar dažādām metodēm izgatavotu ODS tēraudu lokālās atomārās struktūras izmaiņu ap itrija (Y) un titāna (Ti) atomiem, analizējot Y un Ti absorbcijas K-malu.
ODS tērauda izejmateriālu lokālās struktūras analīze, izmantojot rentgenabsorbcijas spektroskopiju
2015
Oksīdu stiprināts tērauds (ODS) ir perspektīvs kodolsintēzes reaktoru materiāls, kuram ir lieliska siltumvadītspēja un zema termiskās izplešanās, apvienojumā ar augstu temperatūras izturību, korozijas un radiācijas pretestību. Tamdēļ šo materiālu var izmantot arī daudzos citos pielietojumos, piemēram, saules elektrostacijās, reaktīvos dzinējos, ķīmiskos reaktoros, kā arī ūdeņraža ražošanā. Šajā darbā ar rentgenabsorbcijas spektroskopijas metodi tika analizētas ferīta un austentisko ODS tēraudu lokālās atomārās struktūras izmaiņas ap dzelzs (Fe) un hroma (Cr) atomiem dažādos tēraudu izgatavošanas posmos, analizējot Fe un Cr absorbcijas K-malas spektrus.
When the Grafting of Double Decker Phthalocyanines on Si(100)-2 × 1 Partly Affects the Molecular Electronic Structure
2016
International audience; A combined X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), and density functional theory (DFT) study has been performed to characterize the adsorbate interaction of lutetium biphthalocyanine (LuPc2) molecules on the Si(100)-2 × 1 surface. Large molecule–substrate adsorption energies are computed and are found to compete with the molecule–molecule interactions of the double decker molecules. A particularly good matching between STM images and computed ones confirms the deformation of the molecule upon the absorption process. The comparison between DFT calculations and XP spectra reveals that the electronic distribution in the two plateaus …
Why do we enjoy creative tasks? Results from a multigroup randomized controlled study
2016
Previous studies have linked positive emotions with creativity, but it remains unknown why creative activities may enhance positive emotions. We tested how creative tasks influence autonomous self-expression and task absorption, and whether this in turn increases positive emotions. Data from 478 participants were divided into four language samples (English, German, Italian, and Polish) and analyzed in a series of multigroup structural equation models. The indirect effects were replicated in all samples. Creative tasks enhanced positive emotions through an increase in autonomy. However, participants who solved creative tasks also reported lower task absorption, and this has hindered their ex…
Zein as biodegradable material for effective delivery of alkaline phosphatase and substrates in biokits and biosensors
2016
A biodegradable material, zein, is proposed as a reagent delivery platform for biokits and biosensors based on alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity/inhibition in the presence of phosphatase substrates. The immobilization and release of both the substrate and/or the active ALP, in a biodegradable and low-cost material such as zein, a prolamin from maize, and in combination with glycerol as plasticizer have been investigated. Three zein-based devices are proposed for several applications: (1) inorganic phosphorus estimation in water of different sources (river, lake, coastal water and tap water) with a detection limit of 0.2mg/L - compared to at least 1mg/L required by legislation, (2) estimat…
Data from: Primary production calculations for sea ice from bio-optical observations in the Baltic Sea
2017
Bio-optics is a powerful approach for estimating photosynthesis rates, but has seldom been applied to sea ice, where measuring photosynthesis is a challenge. We measured absorption coefficients of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM), algae, and non-algal particles along with solar radiation, albedo and transmittance at four sea-ice stations in the Gulf of Finland, Baltic Sea. This unique compilation of optical and biological data for Baltic Sea ice was used to build a radiative transfer model describing the light field and the light absorption by algae in 1-cm increments. The maximum quantum yields and photoadaptation of photosynthesis were determined from 14C-incorporation in phot…
