Fluid-structure simulation of a general non-contact tonometry. A required complexity?
(Elsevier, 2018)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Understanding corneal biomechanics is important for applications regarding refractive surgery prediction outcomes and the study of pathologies affecting the cornea itself. In this regard, non-contact tonometry (NCT) is ...
Personal and perceived peer use and attitudes towards use of non-prescribed prescription sedatives and sleeping pills among university students in seven European countries
(Elsevier, 2018)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Introduction: The use of non-prescribed prescription sedatives and sleeping pills (NPPSSP) among university students has been described as an important public health issue. However, the impact of perceived social norms on ...
Sliding window averaging in normal and pathological motor unit action potential trains
(Elsevier, 2018)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Objective: To evaluate the performance of a recently proposed motor unit action potential (MUAP) averaging method based on a sliding window, and compare it with relevant published methods in normal and
pathological muscles. ...
Physiological performance of transplastomic tobacco plants overexpressing aquaporin AQP1 in chloroplast membranes
(Oxford University Press, 2018)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
The leaf mesophyll CO2 conductance and the concentration of CO2 within the chloroplast are major factors affecting photosynthetic performance. Previous studies have shown that the aquaporin NtAQP1 (which localizes to the ...
Zirconia-supported tungstophosphoric heteropolyacid as heterogeneous acid catalyst for biodiesel production
(Elsevier, 2018)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
A series of materials based on the immobilization of the 12-tungstophosphoric heteropolyacid over zirconia supports have been prepared and applied as heterogeneous acid catalysts in the esterification of palmitic acid with ...
Unraveling the role of transient starch in the response of Arabidopsis to elevated CO2 under long-day conditions
(Elsevier, 2018)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Previous studies on Arabidopsis under long-term exposure to elevated CO2 have been conducted using starch synthesis and breakdown mutants cultured under short day conditions. These studies showed that starch synthesis can ...
Multidrug resistant Salmonella enterica isolated from conventional pig farms using antimicrobial agents in preventative medicine programmes
(Elsevier, 2018)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
A longitudinal study was conducted to investigate the presence of multidrug antimicrobial resistance (multi-AR) in Salmonella enterica in pigs reared under conventional preventative medicine programmes in Spain and the ...
An axiomatic approach to finite means
(Elsevier, 2018)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
In this paper we analyze the notion of a finite mean from an axiomatic point of view. We discuss several axiomatic alternatives, with the aim of establishing a universal definition reconciling all of them and exploring ...
Viral load, tissue distribution and histopathological lesions in goats naturally and experimentally infected with the Small Ruminant Lentivirus Genotype E (subtype E1 Roccaverano strain)
(Elsevier, 2018)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Small Ruminant Lentivirus (SRLV) subtype E1, also known as Roccaverano strain, is considered a low pathogenic virus on the basis of natural genetic deletions, in vitro properties and on-farm observations. In order to gain ...
Chemical and mechanical stability of air annealed cathodic arc evaporated CrAlON coatings
(Elsevier, 2018)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
This study reports the synthesis and characterization of ternary Cr-Al-O and quaternary Cr-Al-O-N coatings deposited by cathodic arc physical vapour deposition, for various nitrogen and oxygen mass flow ratios during the ...
