N-Doped Porous Molybdenum Carbide Nanobelts as Efficient Catalysts for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction
(2018)Electrochemical water splitting has been highly valued as a clean and sustainable method to produce hydrogen with high purity and large quantity. Platinum (Pt) possesses excellent performance for hydrogen evolution reaction ... -
N-substituted Pyrrole-based Scaffolds as Potential Anticancer and Antiviral Lead Structures
(2015)Undoubtedly, efficient cancer treatment has been a significant challenge for the scientific community over the last decades. Despite tremendous progress made towards this direction, there are still efforts needed to discover ... -
The NAD+ precursor nicotinamide riboside decreases exercise performance in rats
(2016)Background: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and its phosphorylated form (NADP+) are key molecules in ubiquitous bioenergetic and cellular signaling pathways, regulating cellular metabolism and homeostasis. Thus, ... -
NAFLD and autoimmune hepatitis: Do not judge a book by its cover
(2020)Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease (almost 25% of the general population). Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a relatively rare liver disease of unknown aetiology characterized by ... -
Nano-things: Pushing sleep current consumption to the limits in IoT platforms
(2020)In this work we illustrate a novel power management architecture towards eliminating the power draw of IoT platforms during inactive periods. Our principle suggests the employment of an off-chip Real-Time-Clock (RTC) ... -
Nano-TiO2 particles impair adhesion of airway epithelial cells to fibronectin
(2013)Titanium dioxide engineered nanoparticles (nano-TiO2) are widely used in the manufacturing of a number of products. Due to their size (<100 nm), when inhaled they may be deposited in the distal lung regions and damage Clara ... -
Nanocarriers for effective drug delivery
(2019)The development of biocompatible nanoformulations, as carriers of drugs or compounds with pharmacological interest, is a novel technology, the use of which provides a variety of applications. In particular the use of ... -
Nanocrystalline growth and diagnostics of TiC and TiB2 hard coatings by pulsed laser deposition
(1999)Nanocrystalline coatings of TiC and TiB2 were grown by pulsed laser deposition on Si(100) and on X155 steel at low substrate temperatures ranging from 40 degrees C to 650 degrees C. A pulsed KrF excimer laser was used with ... -
Nanomolar Inhibitors of Glycogen Phosphorylase Based on β- D -Glucosaminyl Heterocycles: A Combined Synthetic, Enzyme Kinetic, and Protein Crystallography Study
(2017)Aryl substituted 1-(β-d-glucosaminyl)-1,2,3-triazoles as well as C-β-d-glucosaminyl 1,2,4-triazoles and imidazoles were synthesized and tested as inhibitors against muscle and liver isoforms of glycogen phosphorylase (GP). ... -
Nanoparticles for pest control: current status and future perspectives
(2018)In the current paper, we reviewed the use of nanoparticles (NPs) in crop protection, emphasizing the control of pests in the agricultural and urban environment. At the same time, we provide the framework on which the ... -
Nanopore long-read RNA-seq and absolute quantification delineate transcription dynamics in early embryo development of an insect pest
(2021)The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae, is the most important pest for the olive fruit but lacks adequate transcriptomic characterization that could aid in molecular control approaches. We apply nanopore long-read RNA-seq ... -
Nanoscale slip length prediction with machine learning tools
(2021)This work incorporates machine learning (ML) techniques, such as multivariate regression, the multi-layer perceptron, and random forest to predict the slip length at the nanoscale. Data points are collected both from our ... -
