Simple Route to Obtain Nanostructured CeO2 Microspheres and CO Gas Sensing Performance
(06/03/2017)
Abstract In this work, nanostructured CeO2 microspheres with high surface area and mesoporosity were prepared by the coprecipitation method, in absence of a template. The reaction between cerium nitrate and concentrated ...
Undergraduate students’ conceptual interpretation and perceptions of haptic-enabled learning experiences
(08/05/2017)
Abstract Although visualization remains a primary mode of interaction in simulations, touch is the most common way people use to interact with the physical objects. A greater sense of immersion in a learning environment ...
Oxidative stress biomarkers and their relationship with cytokine concentrations in overweight/obese pregnant women and their neonates
(07/01/2017)
Abstract Background Oxidative damage present in obese/overweight mothers may lead to further oxidative stress conditions or inflammation in maternal and cord blood samples. Thirty-four pregnant women/newborn pairs were ...
Mitigation of salt stress in white clover (Trifolium repens) by Azospirillum brasilense and its inoculation effect
(03/01/2017)
Abstract Background Salinity is one of the increasingly serious environmental problems worldwide for cultivating agricultural crops. The present study was aimed to ascertain the potential of beneficial soil bacterium ...
Primary explant culture and collagen I substrate enhances corneal endothelial cell morphology
(2018-01-18)
Abstract Objectives Corneal endothelial cell (CEC) isolation and harvest aim to produce engineered grafts to solve donor corneal tissue shortage. To yield high amounts of CEC maintaining morphological and molecular ...
A systematic review of genetic mutations in pulmonary arterial hypertension
(02/08/2017)
Abstract Background Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a group of vascular diseases that produce right ventricular dysfunction, heart failure syndrome, and death. Although the majority of patients appear idiopathic, ...
Experimental approach to IGF-1 therapy in CCl4-induced acute liver damage in healthy controls and mice with partial IGF-1 deficiency
(04/05/2017)
Abstract Background Cell necrosis, oxidative damage, and fibrogenesis are involved in cirrhosis development, a condition in which insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels are diminished. This study evaluates whether the ...
