Molecular detection of Bartonella bacilliformis in Lutzomyia maranonensis in Cajamarca, Peru: a new potential vector of Carrion's disease in Peru?
(2018-11-07)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyCarrion’s disease is a neglected, vector-borne illness that affects Colombia, Ecuador, and especially Peru. The phlebotomine sand flies Lutzomyia verrucarum and Lutzomyia peruensis are the main illness vectors described, ... -
Nucleating and retarding effects of nanohydroxyapatite on the crystallization of poly(butylene terephthalate-co-alkylene dicarboxylate)s with different lengths
(Springer, 2018-12-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyNew biodegradable and biocompatible composites are continuously developed for biomedical applications (e.g., from drug delivery devices to tissue engineering scaffolds). Properties of such systems may depend on their ... -
New amino acid based biodegradable poly(ester amide)s via bis-azlactone chemistry
(2018-11-08)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThree new classes of the amino acid based biodegradable (AABB) polymers were synthesized via step growth polymerization of bis-azlactones and amino acid based diamine-diesters with activated fatty diester and alkylenediamine: ... -
Influence of the atmosphere conditions in the structure, properties and solubility of fluorine-substituted hydroxyapatites
(2019-03-15)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe influence of synthetic conditions in the composition and properties of chemically precipitated hydroxyapatite (HAp), fluorine-substituted HAp (xF-HAp) and fluorapatite (FAp) havebeen examined consideringdifferent ... -
Electrical evaluation of bacterial virulence factors using nanopores
(2019-03-19)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this work, we propose a novel methodology for electrical monitoring using nanoporous alumina membranes of virulence factors secreted by bacterial pathogens. Bacterial hyaluronidase (HYAL), which is produced by a number ... -
Oxidation by H2O(g) in the presence of H2(g) of UO2 doped with Pd nanoparticles
(2018-09-28)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis work studies the influence of epsilon particles and metallic precipitates, simulated through the deposition of Pd nanoparticles on non-irradiated UO2, on the oxidation of the spent nuclear fuel (SNF). The presence of ... -
Crater formation by the rupture of underground natural gas pipelines: a probabilistic-based model
(Elsevier, 2018-06-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyParallel and crossing pipelines are frequently implemented due to land-use restrictions and their ease of operation and maintenance. Given the proximity of these pipelines and the hazardousness of the substances they ... -
Antimony removal from water by a chitosan-Iron(III)[ChiFer(III)] biocomposite
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2019-02-01)
Article
Open AccessThe presence of antimony(III) in water represents a worldwide concern, mainly due to its high toxicity and carcinogenicity potential. It can be separated from water by the use of sustainable biopolymers such as chitosan ... -

A nafion film cover to enhance the analytical performance of the CuO/Cu electrochemical sensor for determination of chemical oxygen demand
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2019-02-06)
Article
Open AccessWe modified and evaluated the performance of a CuO/Cu electrochemical electrode for chemical oxygen demand (COD) determination by covering it with a Nafion (Nf) film. The resulting modified CuONf/Cu electrode sensor was ... -
Effect of Ce and Mn co-doping on photocatalytic performance of sol-gel TiO2
(2019-02-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyCo-doped titanium dioxide was synthesized by doping with manganese (Mn) and cerium (Ce) through a sol-gel method for the degradation of diclofenac (DCF). The synthesized products were successfully characterized by X-ray ... -
BLEVE: The case of water and a historical survey
(2019-01-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyAfter a short update of the current more accepted definition of BLEVE, the special features of water BLEVEs are analyzed. The stronger overpressure wave generated in the case of water as compared to that of other substances ...
