Electrospinning: a powerful tool to improve the corrosion resistance of metallic surfaces using nanofibrous coatings
(MDPI, 2020)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
The use of surface engineering techniques to tune-up the composition of nanostructured thin-films for developing functional coatings with advanced properties is a hot topic within the scientific community. The control of ...
A combination of apple vinegar drink with Bacillus coagulans ameliorates high fat diet-induced body weight gain, insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis
(MDPI, 2020)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Obesity is a worldwide epidemic characterized by excessive fat accumulation, associated with multiple comorbidities and complications. Emerging evidence points to gut microbiome as a driving force in the pathogenesis of ...
A comprehensive review: materials for the fabrication of optical fiber refractometers based on lossy mode resonance
(MDPI, 2020)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Lossy mode resonance based sensors have been extensively studied in recent years. The versatility of the lossy mode resonance phenomenon has led to the development of sensors based on different configurations that make use ...
Evaluation of functionalized coatings for the prevention of ice accretion by using icing wind tunnel tests
(MDPI, 2020)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Ice accretion presents serious safety issues, as airplanes are exposed to supercooled water droplets both on the ground and while flying through clouds in the troposphere. Prevention of icing is a main concern for both ...
A review of IoT sensing applications and challenges using RFID and wireless sensor networks
(MDPI, 2020)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Radio frequency identification (RFID) and wireless sensors networks (WSNs) are two fundamental pillars that enable the Internet of Things (IoT). RFID systems are able to identify and track devices, whilst WSNs cooperate ...
Feasibility of vermicomposting of spent coffee grounds and silverskin from coffee industries: a laboratory study
(MDPI, 2020)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
In the coffee industry, several by-products are generated during the production and consumption of coffee and represent an important waste from an environmental viewpoint. For improving the knowledge about this issue, a ...
A novel biosensor to monitor proline in pea root exudates and nodules under osmotic stress and recovery
(Springer, 2020)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background and aims: Plant and bacteria are able to synthesise proline, which acts as a compound to counteract the negative effects of osmotic stresses. Most methodologies rely on the extraction of compounds using destructive ...
NATRA: Network ACK-Based Traffic Reduction Algorithm
(IEEE, 2020)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Traffic monitoring involves packet capturing and processing at a very high rate of packets per second. Typically, flow records are generated from the packet traffic, such as TCP flow records that feature the number of bytes ...
