Squalene Depletion in Skin Following Human Exposure to Ozone under Controlled Chamber Conditions

A major component of human skin oil is squalene, a highly unsaturated hydrocarbon that protects the skin from atmospheric oxidants. Skin oil, and thus squalene, is continuously replenished on the skin surface. Squalene is also quickly consumed through reac ...

Investigation of the effects of the Greek extreme wildfires of August 2021 on air quality and spectral solar irradiance

In August 2021, a historic heatwave was recorded in Greece which resulted in extreme wildfire events that strongly affected the air quality over the city of Athens. Saharan dust was also transferred over Greece on certain days of the same period due to the ...

EVA for Glass/Glass Solar PV Modules: Effect of encasulant storage conditions and process parameters

Christophe Ballif, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Luca Gnocchi

This work investigates t the effectiveness of glass-glass solar PV module structures used in combination with a EVA as an encapsulant material. The use of EVA in glass-glass structures is in principle discouraged, as a bioproduct of its photo-degradation i ...

Development of Tissue Kallikrein Inhibitors for the Treatment of Netherton Syndrome

Patrick Andreas Gonschorek

There is currently no approved treatment for Netherton syndrome, which is a severe, genetic skin disease characterized by chronic inflammation and excessive peeling of the skin. Even though the molecular disease mechanism has been assigned to the unopposed ...

Effect of furan pi-spacer and triethylene oxide methyl ether substituents on performance of phenothiazine sensitizers in dye-sensitized solar cells

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt

Conjugated pi-spacers are used to improve the light harvesting properties of sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells. In several recent works, furan has outperformed other popular pi-spacers such as thiophene and phenyl. One of the best performing pheno ...

Optical-stack optimization for improved SPAD photon detection efficiency

Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, Ivan Michel Antolovic, Ekin Kizilkan, Rolando Ferrini, Arin Can Ülkü, Scott Anthony Lindner, Marc Schnieper, Frédéric Zanella

Single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) are direct photon-to-digital detectors that enable scalable arrays with Poisson-limited signal-to-noise ratio and picosecond timing resolution. However, SPAD detectors require a guard-ring structure to prevent lateral ...

Kinetics of inactivation of waterborne enteric viruses by ozone

Urs von Gunten, Tamar Kohn, Camille Wolf

Ozone is an effective disinfectant against all types of waterborne pathogens. However, accurate and quantitative kinetic data regarding virus inactivation by ozone is scarce, due to the experimental challenges associated with the high reactivity of ozone t ...

Improving Efficacy and Safety of Agonistic Anti-CD40 Antibody Through Extracellular Matrix Affinity

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Lambert Charles François Potin, Martina Damo, Jun Ishihara, Kazuto Fukunaga

CD40 is an immune costimulatory receptor expressed by antigen-presenting cells. Agonistic anti-CD40 antibodies have demonstrated considerable antitumor effects yet can also elicit serious treatment-related adverse events, such as liver toxicity, including ...

Cross-resistance of UV- or chlorine dioxide-resistant echovirus 11 to other disinfectants

Tamar Kohn, Anna Carratala Ripolles, Virginie Bachmann, Qingxia Zhong, Rachele Ossola

The emergence of waterborne viruses with resistance to disinfection has been demonstrated in the laboratory and in the environment. Yet, the implications of such resistance for virus control remain obscure. In this study we investigate if viruses with resi ...

Inactivation of enteric viruses by ozone

Urs von Gunten, Tamar Kohn, Camille Wolf

In Switzerland, newly introduced regulation mandates the upgrade of major wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) with an advanced treatment step such as ozonation. This offers a unique opportunity to study the inactivation of enteric virus during ozonation of ...
