Laser-induced transformations of plasmonic metasurfaces pave the way for controlling their anisotropic optical response with a micrometric resolution over large surfaces. Understanding the transient state of matter is cr...

This paper reports on miniaturized hydrogen sensing platforms, exploring several means of fabricating nano‐ structured films and evaluating their sensing characteris‐ tics. Palladium-sputtered nanoporous organosilica...

Abstract Background Neutrophils (polymorphonuclear leukocytes, PMNs) have long been underestimated in the context of autoimmunity. To elucidate their role from a sex-specific perspective, an immunoendocrinological framew...

Plot-based monitoring has yielded much information on the taxonomic diversity and carbon (C) storage in tropical lowland forests of the Amazon basin. This has resulted in an improved understanding of the relationship bet...

The mixed zinc-ferrite spinel magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) with the general formula ZnxFe3−xO4 are among the most extensively studied families of Fe oxides due to their interesting and diverse chemical, electronic, an...

Objectives: To analyze the drying kinetics and functional properties of Dietary Fiber Concentrates (DFCs), produced from papaya by-products (pulp or peel) dehydrated by microwave or hot air convection at 40°C. Methods/S...

This paper studies the free vibration and harmonic response of Functionally Graded graphene/Epoxy composite plates, considering the First Order Shear Deformation Plate Theory. The weight fraction of graphene variation al...

A compact S-tapered fibre biosensor functionalised with class I hydrophobin HGFI found in Grifola frondosa has been proposed for the first time to accrue label-free detection of reaction between goat–anti-rabbit immuno...

Abstract In this study, the effects of fuel blend ratio and engine speed on the performance and emissions of a spark-ignition (SI) engine fueled with gasoline–isopropanol blends were experimentally investigated, modele...

The use of solid fermentation substrate (SSF) has been appreciated by the demand for natural and healthy products. Lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria play a leading role in the production of novel functional foods ...

Abstract In this article, the authors propose changes to a microwave system for measuring the relative humidity of hollow concrete blocks presented in the literature, aiming to improve the system’s sensitivity. The ope...

Abstract Based on 2.5-Dimensional (2.5D) frequency selective surface (FSS) structures, a new miniaturized frequency selective surface structure is proposed in this work to operate as a bandreject filter in the 2.4 GHz (2...

This work reports the successful application of bamboo-like multiwalled carbon nanotubes (bCNT) non-covalently functionalized with calf-thymus double stranded DNA (dsDNA) as a robust platform (bCNT-dsDNA) to build electr...

Innovative technical solutions to realize optical biosensors with improved performance are continuously proposed. Progress in material fabrication enables developing novel substrates with enhanced optical responses. At t...

We study numerically and experimentally the second-harmonic generation (SHG) from rectangular metagratings of V-shaped gold nanoantennas. We show that by carefully engineering the array pitch to steer the diffraction ord...

On December 16th, 2015, the superconducting gravimeter SG038 started to measure again after it was moved from the previous station in Concepcion, Chile to the Argentine-Germany Geodetic Observatory (AGGO) near the city o...
