Is there a relationship between research sponsorship and publication impact? An analysis of funding acknowledgments in nanotechnology papers.

This study analyzes funding acknowledgments in scientific papers to investigate relationships between research sponsorship and publication impacts. We identify acknowledgments to research sponsors for nanotechnology papers published in the ...

Highly Sensitive Dopamine Electrochemical Sensor Using Pt Nanoparticles on CNTs/Polypyrrole Nanocomposites

ABSTRACT Dopamine (DA) plays a vital role as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS), and its accurate quantification is essential for diagnosing neurological disorders. However, selective and sensitive detection of DA in com...

MiR-200c synergizes with trastuzumab-loaded gold nanoparticles to overcome resistance in ovarian cancer cells

Abstract Background Trastuzumab (TZ) resistance remains a significant challenge in the treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), necessitating novel therapeutic strategies to impr...

Nanotechnology and the environment: A European perspective

The potential positive and negative effects of nanotechnology on the environment are discussed. Advances in nanotechnology may be able to provide more sensitive detection systems for air and water quality monitoring, allowing the simultaneo...

Improved production of titanate nanotubes by hydrothermal method for adsorption of organic dyes

Abstract Background Increasing the yield of nanomaterials using the same reactor size and fixing most of the reactants and conditions will greatly improve the production process by saving time, energy and efforts. Titanate nanotubes are mai...

Proteoliposomes – a system to study membrane proteins under buffer gradients by cryo-EM

Membrane proteins are vital to life and major therapeutic targets. Yet, understanding how they function is limited by a lack of structural information. In biological cells, membrane proteins reside in lipidic membranes and typically experie...

Archaeologies of Complexity

An up-to-date and critical analysis of how archaeologists study past societies, Archaeologies of Complexity addresses the nature of contemporary archaeology and the study of social change, and debates the transition from perceived simple, e...

Principles of Archaeological Stratigraphy

This book is the only text devoted entirely to archaeological stratigraphy, a subject of fundamental importance to most studies in archaeology. The first edition appeared in 1979 as a result of the invention, by the author, of the Harris Ma...

The Oxford companion to archaeology

When we think of archaeology, most of us think first of its many spectacular finds: the legendary city of Troy, Tutankhamun's golden tomb, the three-million-year-old footprints at Laetoli, the mile-high city at Machu Picchu, the cave painti...
