Active sites and mechanism on nitrogen-doped carbon catalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction
(2017)The nature of active sites and mechanism of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) on the nitrogen-doped carbon catalyst is extensively investigated, by combining physicochemical and electrochemical methods. Two carbon catalysts, ... -
Acute and repeated exposure with the nitric oxide (NO) donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) differentially modulate responses in a rat model of anxiety
(2017)The nitric oxide (NO) donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) actually is under investigation for the treatment of schizophrenia. That anxiety disorders are noted to occur commonly in schizophrenia patients is known. Contradictory ... -
Adhesion Prevention to Polypropylene Meshes Using Combined Icodextrin Four Percent and Dimetindene Maleate
(2019)Background: The use of surgical meshes in ventral hernia repair has significantly reduced hernia recurrence rates. However, when placed intraperitoneally prosthetic materials can trigger the development of peritoneal ... -
Adolescents’ autonomous functioning and implicit theories of ability as predictors of their school achievement and week-to-week study regulation and well-being
(2017)Research on students’ motivation has mainly focused on interpersonal differences rather than on the ongoing, intrapersonal dynamics that forge students’ everyday life. In this five-month longitudinal (diary) study, we ... -
Altered activity of xenobiotic detoxifying enzymes at menopause – A cross-sectional study
(2020)Xenobiotic metabolism at menopause is an under-investigated topic, albeit women spend one-third of their life in the postmenopausal period. The present study examined the effect of menopause on the in vivo activities of ... -
Anti-angiogenic effect of a Palladium(II)-Saccharinate Complex of Terpyridine in vitro and in vivo
(2017)Anti-angiogenic activity of palladium (Pd)(II)-based complexes is unknown despite their quite powerful anticancer activity. This study was therefore carried out to evaluate both in vivo anti-angiogenic effect and in vitro ... -
Aquaporins in health and disease
(2020)Aquaporins (AQPs) are transmembrane channel proteins that mainly facilitate the water translocation through the plasma cell membrane. For several years these proteins have been extensively examined for their biologic role ... -
Associations between ghrelin and leptin and neural food cue reactivity in a fasted and sated state
(2021)Food cue exposure can trigger eating. Food cue reactivity (FCR) is a conditioned response to food cues and includes physiological responses and activation of reward-related brain areas. FCR can be affected by hunger and ... -
Biomarkers of vascular calcification in serum
(2020)Over the last decades, the association between vascular calcification (VC) and all-cause/cardiovascular mortality, especially in patients with high atherogenic status, such as those with diabetes and/or chronic kidney ... -
Blood flow velocity comparison in the eye capillaries and postcapillary venules between normal pregnant and non-pregnant women
(2020)Background: There is no consensus on how much and at what diameters the blood flow velocity changes in the female microcirculation during normal pregnancy. Methods: A non-contact, digital slit-lamp biomicroscopy system was ... -
Boswellic acids and their derivatives as potent regulators of glucocorticoid receptor actions
(2020)Glucocorticoid (GCs) hormones exert their actions via their cognate steroid receptors the Glucocorticoid Receptors (GR), by genomic or non-genomic mechanisms of actions. GCs regulate many cellular functions among them ... -
Brain diseases in changing climate
(2019)Climate change is one of the biggest and most urgent challenges for the 21st century. Rising average temperatures and ocean levels, altered precipitation patterns and increased occurrence of extreme weather events affect ... -
Clarifying the link between mastery goals and social comparisons in classroom settings
(2016)Previous experimental studies have documented that competence evaluations are function of social comparison information pertaining to classmates' grades even among mastery-oriented students who are not supposed to base ... -
The closeness of the Ablowitz-Ladik lattice to the Discrete Nonlinear Schrödinger equation
(2022)While the Ablowitz-Ladik lattice is integrable, the Discrete Nonlinear Schrödinger equation, which is more significant for physical applications, is not. We prove closeness of the solutions of both systems in the sense of ... -
Colonization of legumes by an endophytic Fusarium solani strain FsK reveals common features to symbionts or pathogens
(2019)Plant cellular responses to endophytic filamentous fungi are scarcely reported, with the majority of described colonization processes in plant-fungal interactions referring to either pathogens or true symbionts. Fusarium ... -
A comparison of statistical approaches used for the optimization of soluble protein expression in Escherichia coli
(2016)During a discovery project of potential inhibitors for three proteins, TNF-α, RANKL and HO-1, implicated in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis, significant amounts of purified proteins were required. The application ... -
A comprehensive analysis of antigen-specific antibody responses against human cytomegalovirus in patients with systemic sclerosis
(2019)Anti-human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) antibodies are considered triggers of systemic sclerosis (SSc), but such a hypothesis has been assessed in limited sub-dominant epitopes. Our aim was to systematically assess the potential ... -
Conventional cardiovascular risk factors in Transient Global Amnesia: Systematic review and proposition of a novel hypothesis
(2021)Transient Global Amnesia (TGA) is an enigmatic amnestic syndrome. We conducted a systematic review to investigate the relationship between the conventional cardiovascular risk factors and TGA. MEDLINE, CENTRAL, EMBASE and ... -
Cross-layer optimized authentication and error control for wireless 3D medical video streaming over LTE
(2017)3D video for tele-medicine applications is gradually gaining momentum since the 3D technology can provide precise location information. However, the weak link for 3D video streaming is the necessary wireless link of the ... -
Deep sensorimotor learning for RGB-D object recognition
(2020)Research findings in cognitive neuroscience establish that humans, early on, develop their understanding of real-world objects by observing others interact with them or by performing active exploration and physical ...
