Determination of thermal conductivity of baled agricultural biomass
(Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2016)
Modeling of transport phenomena in materials with porous bed features requires thermophysical properties, such as porosity, permeability and thermal conductivity be known. The paper presents experimental data obtained in ...
The role of pulse sequences in controlling ultrafast intramolecular dynamics with four-wave mixing
(International Reviews in Physical Chemistry, 2000)
This article seeks to provide a fundamental understanding of time-resolved four-wave mixing (FWM) processes based on a large body of experimental measurements on a model system consisting of isolated iodine molecules. The ...
Ship stability, dynamics and safety: Status and perspectives from a review of recent STAB conferences and ISSW events
(Ocean Engineering, 2016)
In Naval Architecture, the concept of stability has a very wide meaning, embracing ship stability fundamentals with ship dynamics and ultimately ship safety. As such, the subject is of paramount importance for its wide ...
Application of the EIIP/ISM bioinformatics concept in development of new drugs
(Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2007)
The development of a new therapeutic drug is a complex, lengthy and expensive process. On average, only one out of 10,000 - 30,000 originally synthesized compounds will clear all the hurdles on the way to becoming a ...
Determination of glass temperature of polymers by inverse gas chromatography
(Journal of Chromatography A, 2008)
Inverse gas chromatography (IGC) is an attractive technique for polymer characterization due to possible simultaneous determination of various physicochemical properties of polymer systems merely from retention times of ...
The challenge of merging food safety diagnostic needs with quantitative PCR platforms
(Trends in Food Science and Technology, 2011)
The field of food microbiology and safety has experienced an exciting time in the last 10 years. New methods have been introduced to assess safety of foods by targeting pathogenic microorganisms without the need for ...
Involvement of the ADAM 12 in Thrombin-Induced Rats VSMCs Proliferation
(Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2011)
Cardiovascular disease is the largest single cause of mortality and its major underlying pathology is atherosclerosis. The proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is a key event in the pathogenesis of the ...
Sol-gel synthesis and characterization of iron doped mullite
(Journal of Alloys and Compounds, 2014)
Amorphous powders of iron doped 3:2 mullite (3Al(2)O(3)center dot 2SiO(2)) were prepared by sol-gel combustion process using ethanol-water solutions of Al(III) nitrate, Fe(III) nitrate, TEOS and urea. Compositions up to ...
On the use of small and cheaper sensors and devices for indicative citizen-based monitoring of respirable particulate matter
(Environmental Pollution, 2015)
Respirable particulate matter present in outdoor and indoor environments is a health hazard. The particle concentrations can quickly change, with steep gradients on short temporal and spatial scales, and their chemical ...
Insulin, Thrombin, ERK1/2 Kinase and Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Proliferation
(Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2010)
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) respond to arterial wall injury by intimal proliferation and play a key role in atherogenesis by proliferating and migrating excessively in response to repeated injury, such as hypertension ...
