Femtosecond laser settings for optimal bracket bonding to zirconia
(Springer Verlag, 2018)
Bonding orthodontic brackets to ceramic materials is a challenging procedure; femtosecond (FS) laser conditioning could provide
improved results, but the ideal settings for effective bracket-zirconia bonding have never ...
Lipid Headgroup Charge and Acyl Chain Composition Modulate Closure of Bacterial β-Barrel Channels
(MDPI, 2019-02)
The outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria contains β-barrel proteins that form high-conducting ion channels providing a path for hydrophilic molecules, including antibiotics. Traditionally, these proteins have been ...
Role of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Viroporins E, 3a, and 8a in Replication and Pathogenesis
(American Society for Microbiology, 2018)
Viroporins are viral proteins with ion channel (IC) activity that play an
important role in several processes, including virus replication and pathogenesis.
While many coronaviruses (CoVs) encode two viroporins, severe ...
Investigation of pressure drop in 3D replicated open-cell foams: Coupling CFD with experimental data on additively manufactured foams
(Elsevier, 2019-12-01)
Open-cell foams as structured catalyst supports are promising candidates for the design of high throughput catalytic processes. In this contribution, we employ a coupled numerical and experimental approach to assess the ...
State-of-the-art and limitations in the life cycle assessment of ionic liquids
(Elsevier, 2019-01-19)
Even though the development and use of ionic liquids (ILs) has rapidly grown in recent years, in the literature, information addressing the environmental performance of these substances in a life cycle context is comparatively ...
Ultrathin Acoustic Parity-Time Symmetric Metasurface Cloak
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2019)
Invisibility or unhearability cloaks have beenmade possible by using metamaterials enabling light or sound to flow around obstacle
without the trace of reflections or shadows. Metamaterials are known for being flexible ...
Engineered Diffraction Gratings for Acoustic Cloaking
(American Physical Society, 2019)
We show that engineered diffraction gratings can considerably simplify the design of acoustic ground
cloaking devices. Acoustic reflecting gratings are designed in such a way that all the incident energy is
channeled ...
High sampling rate single-pixel digital holography system employing a DMD and phase-encoded patterns
(Optical Society of America, 2018)
A single-pixel digital holography system with phase-encoded illumination using a
digital micromirror device (DMD) as a spatial light modulator (SLM) is presented. The
enhanced switching rate of DMDs, far exceeding the ...
Glassy dynamics predicted by mutual role of free and activation volumes
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019)
Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy (BDS) at elevated pressures and Positron Annihilation LifetimeSpectroscopy (PALS) are employed to elucidate the importance of the ratio of activation and freevolumes during vitrification. ...
Unravelling the role of vacancies in lead halide perovskite through electrical switching of photoluminescence
(Nature Research, 2018)
We address the behavior in which a bias voltage can be used to switch on and off the
photoluminescence of a planar film of methylammonium lead triiodide perovskite (MAPbI3)
semiconductor with lateral symmetric electrodes. ...
