Maternal microbiota regulate glucocorticoids levels and placental development in mice
(
bioscientifica
, 2015 , Conference Proceedings)
The gut microbiota contributes to postnatal development and maturation by influencing barrier functions of the intestinal wall, the development of the immune system, and the utilisation of nutrients. Recent studies have ...
Comparison of left and right ventricular adaptation in endurance-trained male athletes
(
Akadémiai Kiadó
, 2015 , Article)
Characteristics of the athlete’s heart have been investigated mostly in the left ventricle (LV); reports referring to the right ventricle (RV) have only appeared recently. The aim of the present study was to compare the ...
Systematic Study on the Viscosity of Ionic Liquids: Measurement and Prediction
(
American Chemical Society
, 2015 , Article)
Dynamic viscosity for twenty-seven ionic liquids involving ions with molecular structures selected to infer the effects of molecular structure on fluids' viscosity is reported in this work as a function of temperature. The ...
Propionic acidemia in the Arab World.
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
The autosomal recessive disease propionic acidemia (PA) is an inborn error of metabolism with highly variable clinical manifestations, caused by a deficiency of propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC) enzyme, due to mutations in ...
Aqueous ethylaminoethanol blended solvents: Promising candidates for CO2 capture
(
AIChE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper reports the investigation of effect of temperature on physico-chemical properties of formulated solvent (comprises on ethylaminoethanol, N-methyl-2-pyrollidone, and K2CO3/KHCO3) and reaction kinetics of the ...

(
John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
, 2015 , Book chapter)
The first step to ensure the success of applications in a specific field consists in producing a complete and representative model of the studied system. This alignment with reality is not easy to achieve though. This is ...
DSC investigation of the gelation kinetics of emulsified PAM/PEI system: Influence of surfactants and retarders
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2015 , Article)
Water production in the oilfields has a negative impact on the production and economy. It is highly desired to shut off water paths without affecting the hydrocarbon zones. Polymer gels are frequently used for water control ...
Ginsenoside Rb1 inhibits fibrillation and toxicity of alpha-synuclein and disaggregates preformed fibrils
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Compelling evidence indicates that α-synuclein (α-syn) aggregation plays a central role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD) and other synucleinopathies. Identification of compounds that inhibit or reverse the ...
An MPC approach for LPV systems in input-output form
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, a discrete-time model predictive control (MPC) design approach is proposed to control systems described by linear parameter-varying (LPV) models in input-output form subject to constraints. To ensure stability ...
