Prediction of Parkinson’s Disease Severity Based on Gait Signals Using a Neural Network and the Fast Fourier Transform
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic and progressive movement disorder affecting the nervous system of patients. PD alters the capacity to sustain a steady rhythm in the gait leading to impaired motor skills....

Potential value of tedera (B. bituminosa) as high protein resource for poultry feed
Bituminaria bituminosa (C.H. Stirt.) is a drought tolerant legume that grows spontaneously in subtropical areas: Canary Islands (Spain) and in North African and Mediterranean regions, traditionally used as forage...

Open AccessUnprecedented simultaneous enhancement in damage tolerance and fatigue resistance of zirconia/Ta composites
Dense (>98 th%) and homogeneous ceramic/metal composites were obtained by spark plasma sintering (SPS) using ZrO2 and lamellar metallic powders of tantalum or niobium (20 vol.%) as starting materials. The present...

Targeting essential Eimeria ninakohlyakimovae sporozoite ligands for caprine host endothelial cell invasion with a phage display peptide library
Eimeria ninakohlyakimovae is an important coccidian parasite of goats which causes severe diarrhoea in young animals. Specific molecules that mediate E. ninakohlyakimovae host interaction...

Formation of titanium monoxide (001) single-crystalline thin film induced by ion bombardment of titanium dioxide (110)
A plethora of technological applications justify why titanium dioxide is probably the most studied oxide, and an optimal exploitation of its properties quite frequently requires a controlled modification of th...

Effect of red wine on oxidative stress and hypercholesterolemia induced by feeding a high-cholesterol diet in rat
The effect of red wine on oxidative stress and hypercholesterolemia induced by feeding a high-cholesterol diet (supplemented with 1.65% of cholesterol (w/w) for 4 weeks) to female Wistar rats was examined. Whe...

Effect of melatonin on the oxidative stress in N1E-115 cells is not mediated by mt1 receptors
To explore if protective effect of melatonin on oxidative stress induced by okadaic acid, an inhibitor of protein phosphatases PP1 and PP2A, is mediated by membrane receptors subtype mt1, we used anin vitro model...

Effect of melatonin on hyperlipidemic nephropathy under constant light exposure
Studies have shown anti-hyperlipidemic actions of melatonin, with pharmacological doses inducing changes in cholesterol levels. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of melatonin on adriamycin-induced...

Novel 0D Devices: Carbon-Nanotube Quantum Dots
We have designed a carbon-based quantum dot and a quantum barrier by introducing pentagon-heptagon defects in a carbon nanotube, in a way that is equivalent to combine two carbon-nanotube metal-semiconductor j...

Submanifolds with Euclidean complements
This paper studies the topological restrictions for a smooth manifold to admit a submanifold whose complement is diffeomorphic to some Euclidean space ℝ. This problem is related to the old Blaschke conjecture ...
