Harmonic Resonance Stability of Aeronautical Ground Lighting Systems
(IEEE, 2018-02)
Aeronautical ground lighting (AGL) systems assist aircraft pilots in airport operations. These systems are singlephase series circuits where constant current regulators (CCRs) feed luminaires with an adjustable rms current. ...
PHBV/TPU/cellulose compounds for compostable injection molded parts with improved thermal and mechanical performance
(Wiley, 2018-11)
Poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-valerate) (PHBV) is a biopolymer that has gained a lot of attention because of its biodegradability,
good thermal resistance, and balanced mechanical properties with respect to some commodity ...
Antibacterial and Barrier Properties of Gelatin Coated by Electrospun Polycaprolactone Ultrathin Fibers Containing Black Pepper Oleoresin of Interest in Active Food Biopackaging Applications
(MDPI, 2018)
The present study evaluated the effect of using electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) as
a barrier coating and black pepper oleoresin (OR) as a natural extract on the morphology, thermal,
mechanical, antimicrobial, oxygen, ...
Cultural Landscape Assessment: The Rural Architectural Heritage (13th–17th Centuries) in Mediterranean Valleys of Marina Alta, Spain
(MDPI, 2018-10-11)
Europe’s cultural heritage is a rich and diverse legacy that shows evolution through many centuries of history. The Mediterranean landscape is the result of a long process of human activity in the physical environment, ...
Reactive Melt Mixing of Poly(3-Hydroxybutyrate)/Rice Husk Flour Composites with Purified Biosustainably Produced Poly(3-Hydroxybutyrate-co-3-Hydroxyvalerate)
(MDPI, 2019)
Novel green composites based on commercial poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) filled with
10 wt % rice husk flour (RHF) were melt-compounded in a mini-mixer unit using triglycidyl
isocyanurate (TGIC) as compatibilizer and ...
Towards a comprehensive model for characterising and assessing thermoelectric modules by impedance spectroscopy
(Elsevier, 2018-09-15)
Thermoelectric devices have potential energy conversion applications ranging from space exploration through to mass-market products. Standardised, accurate and repeatable high-throughput measurement of their properties is ...
Proteomic evaluation of human osteoblast responses to titanium implants over time
(WileyWiley Periodicals, 2022-08-30)
Titanium is widely used in bone prostheses due to its excellent biocompatibility and osseointegration capacity. To understand the effect of sandblasted acid-etched (SAE) Ti implants on the biological responses of human ...
Silica-gelatin hybrid sol-gel coatings: A proteomic study with biocompatibility implications
(Wiley, 2018-05)
Osseointegration, including the foreign body reaction to biomaterials, is an immune‐modulated, multifactorial, and complex healing process in which various cells and mediators are involved. The buildup of the osseointegration ...
Bioactive potential of silica coatings and its effect on the adhesion of proteins to titanium implants
(Elsevier, 2018-02-01)
There is an ever-increasing need to develop dental implants with ideal characteristics to achieve specific and desired biological response in the scope of improve the healing process post-implantation. Following that ...
Proteomic analysis of silica hybrid sol-gel coatings: a potential tool for predicting the biocompatibility of implants in vivo
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
The interactions of implanted biomaterials with the host organism determine the success or failure of an implantation. Normally, their biocompatibility is assessed using in vitro tests. Unfortunately, in vitro and in vivo ...
