Intestinal Microbiota And Diet in IBS: Causes, Consequences, or Epiphenomena?
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Philadelphia, 2015)
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a heterogeneous functional disorder with a multifactorial etiology that involves the interplay of both host and environmental factors. Among environmental factors relevant for IBS etiology, ...
Simple One-Pot Synthesis of Fully Biobased Unsaturated Polyester Resins Based on Itaconic Acid
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2017)
For the preparation of fully biobased unsaturated polyester resins (UPRs), the replacement of styrene with alternate nonpetroleum-based monomers turned out to be one of the most challenging tasks. Its complexity lies in ...
Novel modified nanocellulose applicable as reinforcement in high-performance nanocomposites
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
The influence of modification and vacuum/supercritical CO2 (scCO(2)) drying methods on the surface properties, morphology and thermal stability of cellulose nanocrystals (NC) was presented in this study. Introduction of ...
Synthesis of medium-chain length capsinoids from coconut oil catalyzed by Candida rugosa lipases
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
A commercial preparation of Candida rugosa lipases (CRL) was tested for the production of capsinoids by esterification of vanillyl alcohol (VA) with free fatty acids (FA) and coconut oil (CO) as acyl donors. Screening of ...
Characterization of sodium alginate/D-limonene emulsions and respective calcium alginate/D-limonene beads produced by electrostatic extrusion
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
In this study, calcium alginate beads immobilizing D-limonene (solid systems) have been manufactured starting from emulsions of this flavor in sodium alginate (liquid systems). The effects of alginate concentration (0.02 ...
Nitrogen plasma surface treatment for improving polar ink adhesion on micro/nanofibrillated cellulose films
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2019)
We find that nitrogen plasma treatment of micro/nanofibrillated cellulose films increases wettability of the surface by both liquid polar water and nonpolar hexadecane. The increased wetting effect is more pronounced in ...
In-depth quantitative profiling of post-translational modifications of Timothy grass pollen allergome in relation to environmental oxidative stress
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
An association between pollution (e.g., from traffic emissions) and the increased prevalence of respiratory allergies has been observed. Field-realistic exposure studies provide the most relevant assessment of the effects ...
RuxTi1-xO2 as the support for Pt nanoparticles: Electrocatalysis of methanol oxidation
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2015)
Two binary Ru-Ti oxides, Rum Ti0.9O2 and Ru0.7Ti0.3O2, were synthesized by the sol-gel method and used as an electrocatalyst support. The system was characterized by XRD, EDS, TEM and cyclic voltammetry. The Rum Ti0.9O2 ...
A generic concept to overcome bandgap limitations for designing highly efficient multi-junction photovoltaic cells
(Nature Publishing Group, London, 2015)
The multi-junction concept is the most relevant approach to overcome the Shockley-Queisser limit for single-junction photovoltaic cells. The record efficiencies of several types of solar technologies are held by series-connected ...
