In this study, eight binary blends of polypropylene (PP)/ poly [styrene-b-(ethylene-co butylene)-b-styrene] tri-block copolymer (SEBS) and polypropylene (PP)/ polycarbonate (PC) were produced at different composition through twin screw extruder.The composition of the minor phases was changed to correlate the morphology and mechanical properties of
Green building design requires use of building materials that minimize environmental impact, necessitating selection of building materials by their environmental profile as well as economic cost-benefit considerations.The objective of this research is to determine the environmental impacts per square meter of three Firestarters flooring materials;
Due to its non-invasiveness, high temporal resolution and lower cost, fluorescence imaging is an interesting alternative to the current method (blue dye and radiocolloid) of sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping in breast cancer.Near-infrared (NIR) emitting cadmium-based Quantum Dots (QDs) could be used for this purpose; however, their wide application
Abstract Background Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease with systemic repercussions and an association with comorbidities such as metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases, and obesity.Psoriasis patients have a higher prevalence of obesity compared to the general population.Diet is a relevant environmental factor, since malnutrition, inad
The rapid proliferation of environmental sensor networks (ESNs) used for monitoring environmental systems, such as meteorology and air quality, and advances in database technologies [e.g., structured query language (SQL)] has made significant progress in sensor data management.Notwithstanding the strength of these databases, they can inevitably lea
