Polyaniline/layered zirconium phosphate nanocomposites: Secondary-like doped polyaniline obtained by the layer-by-layer technique
(AMER SCIENTIFIC PUBLISHERS, 2008)
In the present work, nanocomposites of polyaniline (PANI) and layered alpha-Zr(HPO4)(2).H2O (alpha-ZrP) were prepared using two different approaches: (i) the in situ aniline polymerization in the presence of the layered ...
Electroluminescent devices based on rare-earth tetrakis beta-diketonate complexes
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA, 2008)
In this paper the synthesis, photo luminescence and electroluminescence investigation of the novel tetrakis beta-diketonate of rare-earth complexes such as M[Eu(dbM)(4)] and M[Tb(acac)(4)] with a variety of cationic ligands, ...
Intron 4 polymorphism of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene is associated with decreased NO production in a mercury-exposed population
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BVAMSTERDAM, 2012)
Nitric oxide (NO), produced by endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), is a potent vasodilator and plays a prominent role in regulating the cardiovascular system. Decreased basal NO release may predispose to cardiovascular ...
Leukotrienes Are Upregulated and Associated with Human T-Lymphotropic Virus Type 1 (HTLV-1)-Associated Neuroinflammatory Disease
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCESAN FRANCISCO, 2012-12-20)
Leukotrienes (LTs) are lipid mediators involved in several inflammatory disorders. We investigated the LT pathway in human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) infection by evaluating LT levels in HTLV-1-infected patients ...
Survey on Chlamydophila psittaci in captive ramphastids in Sao Paulo State, Brazil
(UNIV FEDERAL SANTA MARIASANTA MARIA, 2012)
Chlamydophila psittaci (C. psittaci) has been detected in 460 avian species, among them the most frequent are the Psittaciformes, Columbiformes, Anseriformes and raptors. In Brazil, the main avian species recognized as ...
Genetic Variants in Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Gene Modify Metalloproteinase-9 Levels in Black Subjects
(MARY ANN LIEBERT INCNEW ROCHELLE, 2012)
Altered matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) levels are involved in cardiovascular diseases and increased MMP-9 levels enhance the cardiovascular risk in apparently healthy subjects. We investigated the effects of MMP-9 gene ...
A novel self consistent calculation approach for the capacitance-voltage characteristics of semiconductor quantum wire transistors based on a split-gate configuration
(EMERALD GROUP PUBLISHING LIMITEDBINGLEY, 2012)
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to develop an efficient numerical algorithm for the self-consistent solution of Schrodinger and Poisson equations in one-dimensional systems. The goal is to compute the charge-control ...
Effectiveness, against tuberculosis, of pseudo-ternary complexes: Peptide-DNA-cationic liposome
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCESAN DIEGO, 2013-08-02)
We report the effects of a synthetic peptide designed to act as a nuclear localization signal on the treatment of tuberculosis. The peptide contains 21 amino acid residues with the following specific domains: nuclear ...
T-3 Rapidly Increases SLC2A4 Gene Expression and GLUT4 Trafficking to the Plasma Membrane in Skeletal Muscle of Rat and Improves Glucose Homeostasis
(MARY ANN LIEBERT INCNEW ROCHELLE, 2012)
Background: Glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) is highly expressed in muscle and fat tissue, where triiodothyronine (T-3) induces solute carrier family 2 facilitated glucose transporter member 4 (SLC2A4) gene transcription. T-3 ...
Analysis of confinement potential fluctuation and band-gap renormalization effects on excitonic transition in GaAs/AlGaAs multiquantum wells grown on (100) and (311)A GaAs surfaces
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BVAMSTERDAM, 2013-08-02)
The competition between confinement potential fluctuations and band-gap renormalization (BGR) in GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs quantum wells grown on [1 0 0] and [3 1 1]A GaAs substrates is evaluated. The results clearly demonstrate the ...
