Gouvernance et environnement : engagement politique, social et économique pour le présent et pour la société de demain

Les différentes formes de gouvernance environnementale bien qu’issues d’un mouvement fort et poussées par le Sommet de Rio ont produit des résultats mitigés, particulièrement depuis le début des années 90. En somme, une absence de passerell...

Thematic structure of clinically oriented prefrontal function assessment and intervention research: a keyword network analysis

Abstract Background The prefrontal cortex (PFC) has been extensively investigated in relation to higher-order cognition, emotional regulation, and behavioural control, particularly within clinically oriented studies addressing psychiatric s...

The Effect of Different Accelerators on the Vulcanization of EPDM Rubber

: EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) is a type of synthetic rubber. The products of rubber have great importance in every part of life. EPDM rubber has high tensile strength, high tension, toughness, and is weather resistant. Therefore...

Glass-fiber catalysts for selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides by CO and hydrocarbons

Glass-fiber catalysts (GFCs) are investigated in the process of the catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides by hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide contained in waste and flue gases. Studies show that the platinum-based GFCs prepared by surface ...

Engineered Bacterial Cellulose Nanostructured Matrix for Incubation and Release of Drug-Loaded Oil in Water Nanoemulsion

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a highly pure form of cellulose produced by bacteria, which possesses numerous advantages such as good mechanical properties, high chemical flexibility, and the ability to assemble in nanostructures. Thanks to th...

Physicochemical characterization and source apportionment of Arctic ice-nucleating particles observed in Ny-Ålesund in autumn 2019

Ice-nucleating particles (INPs) initiate primary ice formation in Arctic mixed-phase clouds (MPCs), altering cloud radiative properties and modulating precipitation. For atmospheric INPs, the complexity of their spatiotemporal variations, h...

Self-Matrix N-Doped Room Temperature Phosphorescent Carbon Dots Triggered by Visible and Ultraviolet Light Dual Modes

The synthesis of room temperature phosphorescent carbon dots (RTP-CDs) without any matrix is important in various applications. In particular, RTP-CDs with dual modes of excitation are more interesting. Here, we successfully synthesized mat...

A comparative life cycle assessment of viscose fibers derived from cotton, wood, and bamboo pulp

In this work, a life cycle assessment (LCA) approach was employed to evaluate the environmental impact of viscose fibers made from cotton, wood and bamboo pulp, in accordance with the ISO 14040 standard. Utilizing SimaPro 9.5.0 software, th...

Hornification in Commercial Chemical Pulps: Dependence on Water Removal and Hornification Mechanisms

Understanding cellulose hornification provides crucial information regarding drying of pulp, paper, and other cellulosic materials as well as recycling them. By measuring drainage, fiber width, and water retention value of hardwood and soft...

The Application of Electrospun Titania Nanofibers in Dye-sensitized Solar Cells

Titania nanofibers were fabricated using the industrial NanospiderTM technology. The preparative protocol was optimized by screening various precursor materials to get pure anatase nanofibers. Composite films were prepared by mixing a comme...

“Ligando as pontas!” - A atuação do Fundo Podáali no fomento da bioeconomia na Amazônia

Apesar de sua incontestável importância para a preservação da biodiversidade e para o combate às mudanças climáticas, a floresta amazônica está passando por um alarmante processo de destruição. Com índices de preservação muito acima da médi...

Two new species of Penicillium (Eurotiales, Aspergillaceae) and the first record of P. danzhouense from mangrove sediment in Thailand, with notes on antibacterial activity

Two novel species of Penicillium, comprising P. chanthaburiense sp. nov. and P. buranakarlianum sp. nov., were isolated from mangrove sediment collected at the King Rama IX International Mangrove Botanical Garden in Chanthaburi Province, Th...

Temperature dependence of liverwort diversification reveals a cool origin and hot hotspots

Abstract The evolutionary history underlying gradients in species richness is still subject to discussions and understanding the past niche evolution might be crucial in estimating the potential of taxa to adapt to changing environmental co...

TAXONOMIC REVISION OF THE FAMILY CASUARINACEAE R. BR., 1814 (ORDER, FAGALES) IN EGYPT

Brain‐Penetrating and Disease Site‐Targeting Manganese Dioxide‐Polymer‐Lipid Hybrid Nanoparticles Remodel Microenvironment of Alzheimer's Disease by Regulating Multiple Pathological Pathways

Abstract Finding effective disease‐modifying treatment for Alzheimer's disease remains challenging due to an array of factors contributing to the loss of neural function. The current study demonstrates a new strategy, using multitargeted bi...

Functional MRI of Handwriting Tasks: A Study of Healthy Young Adults Interacting with a Novel Touch-Sensitive Tablet

Handwriting is a complex human activity that engages a blend of cognitive and visual motor skills. Current understanding of the neural correlates of handwriting has largely come from lesion studies of patients with impaired handwriting. Tas...

Graphene Oxide and Reduced Derivatives, as Powder or Film Scaffolds, Differentially Promote Dopaminergic Neuron Differentiation and Survival

Emerging scaffold structures made of carbon nanomaterials, such as graphene oxide (GO) have shown efficient bioconjugation with common biomolecules. Previous studies described that GO promotes the differentiation of neural stem cells and ma...

Sexual Dimorphism in Growth Rate and Gene Expression Throughout Immature Development in Wild Type Chrysomya rufifacies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) Macquart

Reliability of forensic entomology analyses to produce relevant information to a given case requires an understanding of the underlying arthropod population(s) of interest and the factors contributing to variability. Common traits for analy...

Structural basis for COMPASS recognition of an H2B-ubiquitinated nucleosome

Methylation of histone H3K4 is a hallmark of actively transcribed genes that depends on mono-ubiquitination of histone H2B (H2B-Ub). H3K4 methylation in yeast is catalyzed by Set1, the methyltransferase subunit of COMPASS. We report here th...

Technosignatures Longevity and Lindy's Law

The probability of detecting technosignatures (i.e., evidence of technological activity beyond Earth) increases with their longevity, or the time interval over which they manifest. Therefore, the assumed distribution of longevities has some...
