The dispersion of nanosized gamma aluminas with high specific surfaces areas (100 m2 /g) and primary particle sizes around 20 nm, using polyacrylic acid, has been investigated. The effect of pH and polymer concentration showed that the highest density gree ...
In liver, the glyoxylate cycle contributes to two metabolic functions, urea and glucose synthesis. One of the key enzymes in this pathway is glyoxylate reductase/hydroxypyruvate reductase (GRHPR) whose dysfunction in human causes primary hyperoxaluria type ...
The aim of this thesis has been to assess the potential of branched polymers as novel exfoliants for layered silicates and their application in polyurethanes. Three different types of –OH functional branched polymers have been studied: dendrimers, hyperbra ...
The design of modern BWR assemblies is governed by general requirements such as safe and reliable performance, optimal fuel utilization and cycle length, and a high degree of flexibility in reactor operation. These requirements are fulfilled via the use of ...
One of the aims of the HOPE project is to develop a method to assess healthiness and energy efficiency of buildings and strategies to optimise their performance towards health and energy efficiency. In this project, a building is defined "Healthy and Energ ...
This thesis presents a specialization of the integral equation (IE) method for the analysis of three-dimensional metallic and dielectric structures embedded in laterally unbounded (open) layered media. The method remains basically spatial but makes use of ...
Conformational transitions of peptides and proteins have recently moved to the center of interest in various domains of research at the interface of chemistry, biology, and medicine due to their implication in an increasing number of diseases in which the ...
A statistical physics perspective of complex networks: from the architecture of the Internet and the brain to the spreading of an epidemic Statistical physics has revealed itself as the ideal framework to describe large networks appearing in a variety of d ...
The incommensurate palmierite-like structure of beta-K5Yb(MoO4)(4), potassium ytterbium tetramolydate, has been refined in the (3 + 1)- dimensional monoclinic superspace group X2/m(0 rho 0) 00, with X = [0 0 0 0; 1/2 1/2 0 0; 0 0 1/2 1/2; 1/2 1/2 1/2 1/2] ...
A new system combining a microreactor and a microcalorimetric chip was investigated. The small size of the microreactor channel permits maintaining isothermal conditions necessary for the kinetic characterization of highly exothermic reactions. These condi ...
