This paper reports the effect of the particle size of LiAlSiO4 on the thermal expansion and Young’s modulus of low thermal expansion (LTE) coefficient of porous materials using silicon carbide (SiC), vitrified bonding material (VBM) and lithium aluminum silicate (LiAlSiO4) at 850 oC. According to the XRD results, there is no reaction between the raw materials during the sintering process. SEM analysis revealed the presence of an internal porous structure with a pore size less than 4 micrometers. It was found that decreasing the particle size of LiAlSiO4 by almost 4 times reduces the porosity, keeping a low thermal expansion coefficient, but the Young’s modulus increases 50%.

A biosorption process has been developed for the bioremediation of heavy metal-contaminated acid drainages from Merladet and Faith open-cast mines,located in western Spain. The process is based on the physico-chemical properties for the adsorption, ion exchange, and complexation of metal ions by biopolymers (chitin and α (1,3) β-D-glucan) from industrial biowaste exhausted brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae L.). Firstly, the chemical composition (U, Mn, Al, Fe, Cu, Zn,and Ni) and the physico-chemical and ecological states of these acid mine drainages were characterised. Furthermore,the selectivity for Zn, Cu, Mn, Ni, and Al the first order kinetics and the performance of the metals biosorption process by exhausted brewer's yeast were evaluated with polluted acid synthetic waters and mine drainages. The biosorption equilibria were reached in 10 ~ 15 min following Langmuir type isotherms with higher affinity constants for metal-biosorbent binding for synthetic waters than for acid mine drainages. The efficiency of the process with real water samples was markedly lower for the case of Mn, and zero for Zn and Al. An antagonistic interference on the biosorption of a metal due to the presence of other metals is proposed. Finally, the ecotoxicity of the acid mine drainage was removed when it was incubated with brewer’s yeast trapped in polyurethane foam.

In this work, a tunneling field-effect transistor (TFET) based on heterojunctions of compound and Group IV semiconductors is introduced and simulated. TFETs based on either silicon or compound semiconductors have been intensively researched due to their merits of robustness against short channel effects (SCEs) and excellent subthreshold swing (SS) characteristics. However, silicon TFETs have the drawback of low on-current and compound ones are difficult to integrate with silicon CMOS circuits. In order to combine the high tunneling efficiency of narrow bandgap material TFETs and the high mobility of III-V TFETs, a Type-I heterojunction tunneling field-effect transistor (I-HTFET) adopting $Ge-Al_xGa_{1-x}As-Ge$ system has been optimized by simulation in terms of aluminum (Al) composition. To maximize device performance, we considered a nanowire structure, and it was shown that high performance (HP) logic technology can be achieved by the proposed device. The optimum Al composition turned out to be around 20% (x=0.2).

It has been shown that the association of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs with plant extracts can increase their antinociceptive activity, allowing the use of lower doses and, thus, limiting side effects. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the effects of the interaction between naproxen and citral on nociception and gastric injury in rats. Naproxen, citral, or combinations of naproxen and citral produced an antinociceptive effect. The administration of naproxen produced significant gastric damage, but this effect was not obtained with either citral or the naproxen-citral combination. The ED50 value was estimated for the individual drugs and an isobologram was constructed. The derived theoretical ED50 for the antinociceptive effect (423.8 mg/kg) was not significantly different from the observed experimental value (359.0 mg/kg); hence, the interaction between naproxen and citral mediating the antinociceptive effect is additive. These data suggest that the naproxen-citral combination interacts at the systemic level, produces minor gastric damage, and potentially has therapeutic advantages for the clinical treatment of inflammatory pain.

Chronic limb-threatening ischemia is rarely associated with previous traumatic injury. We present a case of a 28-year-old male with progressive digit ulcers, a weak pulse, cyanosis, and a cold limb. Eight months prior, he had a motorcycle accident resulting in a right clavicle fracture and brachial plexus injury. Computed tomography angiography revealed occlusion of the right subclavian artery near a surgically implanted reduction plate. The patient underwent an open subclavianbrachial bypass with a reversed saphenous vein graft. His postoperative recovery was uneventful. After 3 months, he had a euthermic right hand with a palpable pulse and his ulcers had completely healed. This case reinforces the need for patients with a neurological deficit in the upper extremity caused by blunt trauma to undergo thorough vascular examination to identify potential arterial injury and compromised perfusion.

This research is concerned with novel semiconductor composites of sodium hexatitanate oxide (Na2Ti6O13), and silver metallic nanoparticles. The Na2Ti6O13 was prepared by two methods, a sol-gel process and a solid state reaction. The silver nanoparticles were incorporated into the titanate by a deposition-precipitation technique, using NaOH as precipitation agent in the dark. Ag/Na2Ti6O13 microfibers were obtained by the sol-gel method, meanwhile octagonal microbar agglomerates were the product of the solid state reaction. The SEM-TEM observations showed silver particles with a nanometric size (5-7 nm); and fibrillar structures in the sol-gel sodium titanates. The UV-Vis-RD spectroscopy showed a blue shift Eg from 3.3 to 3.4 nm; and a plasmon surface resonance in the visible region. These materials are proposed as potential photocatalysts for contaminated water purification.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro anti-inflammatory and utero-relaxant effect of α-bisabolol on the pregnant human myometrium. Samples from the pregnant human myometrium were used in functional tests to evaluate the inhibitory effect of α-bisabolol (560, 860, 1,200 and 1,860 µM) on spontaneous myometrial contractions. The intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels generated in response to α-bisabolol in human myometrial homogenates were measured by ELISA. The anti-inflammatory effect of α-bisabolol was determined through the measurement of two pro-inflammatory cytokines, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) and interleukin (IL)-1β, and the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10, in pregnant human myometrial explants stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Forskolin was used as a positive control to evaluate the cAMP and cytokine levels. α-Bisabolol was found to induce a significant inhibition of spontaneous myometrial contractions at the highest concentration level (p<0.05). α-Bisabolol caused a concentration-dependent decrease in myometrial cAMP levels (p<0.05) and a concentration-dependent decrease in LPS-induced TNFα and IL-1β production, while IL-10 production did not increase significantly (p>0.05). The anti-inflammatory and utero-relaxant effects induced by α-bisabolol were not associated with an increase in cAMP levels in pregnant human myometrial samples. These properties place α-bisabolol as a potentially safe and effective adjuvant agent in cases of preterm birth, an area of pharmacological treatment that requires urgent improvement.

Bismuth tungstate Bi2W2O9 has been synthesized using diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (H5DTPA), an organic chelating agent of metals in an aqueous solution. The formation of the oxide was followed through characterization techniques such as XRD, TGA/DTA, and SEM. The optimum temperature to decompose the organic matrix and to form Bi2W2O9 was determined to be around 720 oC. Below this temperature, Bi2W2O9 was formed with a high content of Bi2WO6. At 720 oC particles of the Bi2W2O9 with a surface area four times higher than that obtained by a solid-state reaction were obtained. The oxide was tested as a photocatalyst on the degradation of aqueous solutions of rhodamine B under VIS radiation. The photodegradation of the dye followed a kinetic first order with an apparent constant, k = 2.8 × 10−3 minute−1and t1/2= 247 minutes for an aqueous solution of 5 mg l−1 of rhodamine B.

Mucormycosis is a lethal and difficult-to-treat fungal infection caused by fungi of the order Mucorales. Mucor lusitanicus, a member of Mucorales, is commonly used as a model to understand disease pathogenesis. However, transcriptional control of hyphal growth and virulence in Mucorales is poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the role of Tec proteins, which belong to the TEA/ATTS transcription factor family, in the hyphal development and virulence of M. lusitanicus. Unlike in the genome of Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes, which have a single Tec homologue, in the genome of Mucorales, two Tec homologues, Tec1 and Tec2, were found, except in that of Phycomyces blakesleeanus, with only one Tec homologue. tec1 and tec2 overexpression in M. lusitanicus increased mycelial growth, mitochondrial content and activity, expression of the rhizoferrin synthetase-encoding gene rfs, and virulence in nematodes and wax moth larvae but decreased cAMP levels and protein kinase A (PKA) activity. Furthermore, tec1- and tec2-overexpressing strains required adequate mitochondrial metabolism to promote the virulent phenotype. The heterotrimeric G beta subunit 1-encoding gene deletant strain (Δgpb1) increased cAMP-PKA activity, downregulation of both tec genes, decreased both virulence and hyphal development, but tec1 and tec2 overexpression restored these defects. Overexpression of allele-mutated variants of Tec1(S332A) and Tec2(S168A) in the putative phosphorylation sites for PKA increased both virulence and hyphal growth of Δgpb1. These findings suggest that Tec homologues promote mycelial development and virulence by enhancing mitochondrial metabolism and rhizoferrin accumulation, providing new information for the rational control of the virulent phenotype of M. lusitanicus.
