Medium chain triglyceride diet reduces anxiety-like behaviors and enhances social competitiveness in rats
Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Carlos Canto Alvarez, Fiona Hollis
Medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) are emerging as unique dietary supplements that are potentially relevant for the amelioration of brain dysfunctions. MCT are converted into ketones and free medium chain fatty acids that, in the brain, are highly effective ...
2018Synergistic effect of carboxylic and amine ligands on the synthesis of CdSe nanocrystals
Martinus Gijs, Virendra Kumar Parashar
We demonstrate the drastic improvement in absorbance and photoluminescence (UV-PL) of CdSe nanocrystals (NCs) upon adding both a carboxylic acid and an amine ligand to the cadmium acetate green chemistry source. We combined carboxylate complexes of lauric ...
Royal Soc Chemistry2016Ozone oxidation of oleic acid surface films decreases aerosol cloud condensation nuclei activity
Heterogeneous oxidation of aerosols composed of pure oleic acid (C 18H34O2, an unsaturated fatty acid commonly found in continental and marine aerosol) by gas-phase O3 is known to increase aerosol hygroscopicity ...
Blackwell Publishing Ltd2011Influence of emulsion composition on lubrication capacity and texture perception
P>The role of fat content and type of surfactant for oral friction processes and texture perception of oil-in-water emulsions was assessed. Emulsions at 22% and 33% fat content containing either sodium caseinate or a sucrose ester as emulsifier were compar ...
2009Electrochemical incineration of chloromethylphyenoxy herbicides in acid medium by anodic oxidation with boron-doped diamond electrodes
Christos Comninellis, Béatrice Marselli Fuerer, Pierre-Alain Michaud
The electrochemical degradation of saturated solutions of herbicides 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid, 2-(4-chlorophenoxy)-2-methylpropionic acid and 2-(4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)propionic acid in 1 M HClO4 on a boron-doped diamond (BDD) thin film anode ...
2006Préparation et caractérisation de nanoparticules bimétalliques (Pt-Au) sur un substrat en diamant dopé au bore
Using petrol as a main source of energy, during the 20th century, has caused considerable amounts of damage among which are atmospheric pollution and global warming. At the same time, many geologists and economists expect that the discovery rate of new pet ...
EPFL2006Liquid-core capsules as a tool in biotransformations
The aim of this thesis was to develop a new type of liquid-core capsules obtained by co-extrusion using the laminar jet break-up technique. These capsules, composed of an organic phase as the core and a hydrogel membrane, were meant to be applied as an in- ...
