Analysis of volatile organic compounds released from the decay of surrogate human models simulating victims of collapsed buildings by thermal desorption-comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography-time of flight mass spectrometry
(2015)
Field experiments were devised to mimic the entrapment conditions under the rubble of collapsed buildings aiming to investigate the evolution of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during the early dead body decomposition ...
Cellular HIV type 1 DNA levels are equivalent among drug-sensitive and drug-resistant strains in newly diagnosed and antiretroviral naive patients
(2014)
The emergence of resistance against current antiretroviral drugs to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is an increasingly important concern to the continuous success of antiretroviral therapy to HIV-1-infected ...
Thorium determination in water samples by liquid scintillation counting after its separation by cloud point extraction
(2011)
The aim of this study is the separation and pre-concentration of thorium from aqueous solutions by cloud point extraction (CPE) and its the radiometric determination by liquid scintillation counting (LSC). For CPE, tributyl ...
A magnetostructural investigation of an abrupt spin transition for 1-phenyl-3-trifluoromethyl-1,4-dihydrobenzo[e][1,2,4]triazin-4-yl
(2014)
1-Phenyl-3-trifluoromethyl-1,4-dihydrobenzo[e][1,2,4]triazin-4-yl is the first example of a hydrazyl radical that shows a reversible sharp spin transition fully completed within 5(1) K. The nominally first-order transition ...
Uranium determination in water samples by liquid scintillation counting after cloud point extraction
(2010)
The aim of this study is the radiometric determination of uranium in waters by liquid scintillation counting (LSC) after pre-concentration of the element by cloud point extraction (CPE). For CPE, tributyl phosphate (TBP) ...
Drosophila immune priming against Pseudomonas aeruginosa is short-lasting and depends on cellular and humoral immunity
(2013)
Immune responses are traditionally divided into the innate and the adaptive arm, both of which are present in vertebrates, while only the innate arm is found in invertebrates. Immune priming experiments in Drosophila ...
Adsorption of hexavalent chromium on dunite
(2011)
The paper presents and discusses the effect of various physicochemical parameters (e.g. pH, ionic strength, Cr(VI) initial concentration, amount of the adsorbent, temperature and contact time between metal ion and adsorbent) ...
Self-control with spiking and non-spiking neural networks playing games
(2010)
Self-control can be defined as choosing a large delayed reward over a small immediate reward, while precommitment is the making of a choice with the specific aim of denying oneself future choices. Humans recognise that ...
Spiking neural networks with different reinforcement learning (RL) schemes in a multiagent setting
(2010)
This paper investigates the effectiveness of spiking agents when trained with reinforcement learning (RL) in a challenging multiagent task. In particular, it explores learning through rewardmodulated spike-timing dependent ...
Multi-scale AM-FM analysis for the classification of surface electromyographic signals
(2012)
In this work, multi-scale amplitude modulation-frequency modulation (AM-FM) features are extracted from surface electromyographic (SEMG) signals and they are used for the classification of neuromuscular disorders. The ...
