Homoeolog Inference Methods Requiring Bidirectional Best Hits or Synteny Miss Many Pairs
Homoeologs are pairs of genes or chromosomes in the same species that originated by speciation and were brought back together in the same genome by allopolyploidization. Bioinformatic methods for accurate homoeology inference are crucial for studying the e ...
OXFORD UNIV PRESS2021Bioinspired Selective Surface Deposition of Fragrance Delivery Systems
The perception of pleasantness in many of the consumer goods is provided by volatile chemical compounds called fragrances. While the volatility of fragrances is essential to provide a pleasant olfactory response, it presents at the same time a technologi ...
EPFL2016Experimental and numerical study on structural behavior of a single timber textile module
Yves Weinand, Laurent Humbert, Markus Hudert, Meisam Sistaninia
The present work investigates an innovative class of timber structure with potential applications in roofing, facade and bridge construction, called Timberfabric. The development of Timberfabric structures originates from the approach of harnessing the str ...
Elsevier2013Inactivation of bacteria under visible light and in the dark by Cu films. Advantages of Cu-HIPIMS-sputtered films
The Cu polyester thin-sputtered layers on textile fabrics show an acceptable bacterial inactivation kinetics using sputtering methods. Direct current magnetron sputtering (DCMS) for 40 s of Cu on cotton inactivated Escherichia coli within 30 min under visi ...
Springer Heidelberg2012Timberfabric: Innovative Lightweight Structures
The research project “Structural Timber Fabric: Applying Textile Principles on Building Scale” follows an innovative and experimental approach to develop novel lightweight timber structures. It examines structural and aesthetic qualities of textiles and te ...
2011Structure-reactivity relations for DC-magnetron sputtered Cu-layers during E. coli inactivation in the dark and under light
César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Rosendo Sanjines
This study addresses unreported features for Cu DC-magnetron sputtering on cotton mediating inactivation of Escherichia coil K12 (from now on E. coil). In-depth profile for the different Cu-species inside the cotton fibers was determined by 5 key Ar+ etchi ...
2010Magnetron-Sputtered Ag Surfaces. New Evidence for the Nature of the Ag Ions Intervening in Bacterial Inactivation
César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Rosendo Sanjines
DC-magnetron sputtering with an Ag target on textile surfaces produced Ag particles with sizes similar to 4.7 nm (+/- 15%). Sputtering for 15 s led to Ag layers of 15-20 nm. The threshold sputtering time precluding airborne bacterial growth was about 60 s. ...
2010An Enantiomerically Pure Alleno-Acetylenic Macrocycle: Synthesis and Rationalization of Its Outstanding Chiroptical Response
First enantiomerically pure alleno-acetylenic macrocycles were synthesized. The origin of the main CD band proposed by calcns. was found to be in accordance with the exptl. conclusion obtained from the g-factor plot. The unique combination of geometric and ...
2009Chiral Induction from Allenes into Twisted 1,1,4,4-Tetracyanobuta-1,3-dienes (TCBDs): Conformational Assignment by Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy
The mechanism of chiral induction in an optically pure 1,3-diethynylallene, from the central chiral allene moiety into directly adjacent TCBD chromophores, was confirmed and clarified. Only one low-energy conformer is found in calcns. of the potential ener ...
