The present work investigates a novel and practical method to evaluate the healing efficiency of carbon-reinforced polymer composites. The method should be representative of damage occurring during the lifetime of a composite part, should tend to damage th ...
Objective: Depotentiation of homosynaptic plasticity of the primary motor cortex (M1) is impaired in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) who have developed dyskinesias. In this exploratory study, we tested whether this holds true for heterosynaptic plas ...
Nitrogen-containing compounds are an important class of molecules in medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, biochemistry, material sciences or environmental sciences. Organic nitrogen occurs in many forms, ranging from small building blocks such as urea, a ...
Generating value, in the form of functional chemicals, from biomass is a critical need of today. It is expected that replacing petroleum with biomass as the source of many commodity and fine chemicals can lead the transition away from a fossil-fuel based e ...
Herein, an investigation of multi-generational recyclability of polypropylene fibre reinforced concrete (PPFRC) was performed. The parent concretes were produced with 0 and 6 kg/m(3) of polypropylene fibres. After recycling, the obtained coarse recycled co ...
Fibre optics sensors have been identified as very good candidates for environmental monitoring inside the silicon detectors operated at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. The objective of this dissertation is the development of a Relative Humidity (RH) distribu ...
One of the main concerns about the use of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) materials in civil engineering structural applications is the potential reduction of their stiffness- and strength-related properties when exposed to elevated temperature. The first p ...
Polymers with high surface electric insulation capability are greatly demanded in various electrical devices operating in vacuum ambient. Low secondary electron emission (SEE) is favorable to mitigate vacuum flashover by inhibiting the SEE avalanche across ...
Protein Engineering, especially protein post-translational modification (PTM), ex-tends proteomes in a more complex way than one can expect from analysis of their encod-ing genomes. It can activate or deactivate certain catalytic functions, add new desired ...
Copper-based tandem schemes have emerged as promising strategies to promote the formation of multi-carbon products in the electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction. In such approaches, the CO-generating component of the tandem catalyst increases the local co ...
