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 ...
Trace detection of endogenous human volatile organic compounds for search, rescue and emergency applications
(2015)
Since Pauling's paper in the 1970s, interest has increased in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from different bio-fluids, such as blood and urine. A number of VOCs reflect internal biochemical pathways occurring ...
Physiology and biochemistry of human subjects during entrapment
(2013)
A classification of various categories of entrapped people under the ruins of collapsed buildings after earthquakes, technical failures or explosions is proposed. Type and degree of injury at the moment of building collapse ...
A combined LS-SVM & MLR QSAR workflow for predicting the inhibition of CXCR3 receptor by quinazolinone analogs
(2010)
AnovelQSARworkflowis constructed that combines MLR with LS-SVM classification techniques for the identification of quinazolinone analogs as "active" or "nonactive" CXCR3 antagonists. The accuracy of the LS-SVM classification ...
Ligand - Based virtual screening procedure for the prediction and the identification of novel β-amyloid aggregation inhibitors using Kohonen maps and Counterpropagation Artificial Neural Networks
(2011)
In this work we have developed an in silico model to predict the inhibition of β-amyloid aggregation by small organic molecules. In particular we have explored the inhibitory activity of a series of 62 N-phenylanthranilic ...
"Squaring the clusters": A Mn III 4Ni II 4 molecular square from nickel(ii)-induced structural transformation of a Mn II/III/IV 12 cage
(2012)
A Mn III 4Ni II 4 molecular square exhibiting slow magnetization relaxation has been prepared from the reaction of a Mn II 4Mn III 6Mn IV 2 cluster and a simple Ni II source. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2012.
Surface reactivity of LaCoO3 and Ru/LaCoO3 towards CO, CO2 and C3H8: Effect of H2 and O2 pretreatments
(2011)
The differences in surface reactivity of LaCoO3 and Ru/LaCoO3 solids after pre-treatment in a hydrogen or oxygen gas atmosphere towards oxidative steam reforming (OSR) of propane was probed by performing temperature-programmed ...
Approaches to molecular magnetic materials from the use of cyanate groups in higher oxidation state metal cluster chemistry: Mn14 and Mn 16
(2013)
The initial employment of cyanato groups in higher oxidation state manganese cluster chemistry, in conjunction with the gem-diolate form of di-2-pyridylketone or 2,6-diacetylpyridine dioxime chelate ligands, has afforded ...
Enamine-Based Hydrophilic Dynamic Covalent Polymer Networks: Effects of pH, and Copolymer Composition and Concentration on the Aqueous Swelling Degrees and the Gel Formation Times
(2015)
In this work, we explore the formation in water of dynamic covalent polymer networks cross-linked via enamine groups. The polymer networks resulted from the combination of pairs of chemically complementary hydrophilic ...
