Sodium-zinc chloride (Na-ZnCl2) batteries offer a sustainable alternative to sodium-nickel chloride (Na-NiCl2) batteries but face challenges with low specific energy and cycle life. This study evaluates two electrode designs: conventional particle-based Zn ...
Defects in essential metabolic regulation for energy supply, increased oxidative stress promoting excitatory/inhibitory imbalance and phospholipid membrane dysfunction have been implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia (SZ). The knowledge about t ...
In the Internet of Things (IoT) era, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are rapidly increasing in terms of relevance and pervasiveness thanks to their notable real-time monitoring performance across several fields, including industrial, domestic, military, bi ...
In order to adjust to changes in the environment, cells can communicate via signalling cascades. A common pathway for intercellular communication is the G-protein-coupled- receptor (GPCR) signal transduction cascade which is triggered by a (chemical or phy ...
The collection of floating woody debris at flow control structures, such as spillways and weirs, can potentially result in reduced discharge efficiency (higher upstream head for a given weir discharge). Compared to less hydraulically-efficient control stru ...
A series of novel bistriphenylamine-based organic sensitizers (coded as RC-dyes) with high molar extinction coefficients (>5.0 x 10(4) M-1 cm(-1)) have been synthesized for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). By changing the length of the pi-conjugation br ...
The monitoring of metabolic compounds such as glucose is largely reported in literature. The applications of this type of analysis are mainly related to clinical purposes, e.g. in diabetes pathology, where a lot of studies are presented in literature. Rece ...
When described through a plane-wave basis set, the inclusion of exact nonlocal exchange in hybrid functionals gives rise to a singularity, which slows down the convergence with the density of sampled k points in reciprocal space. In this work, we investiga ...
