Obesity-associated deficits in inhibitory control are phenocopied to mice through gut microbiota changes in one-carbon and aromatic amino acids metabolic pathways
(BMJ Publishing Group; British Society of Gastroenterology, 2021-01)Background Inhibitory control (IC) is critical to keep long-term goals in everyday life. Bidirectional relationships between IC deficits and obesity are behind unhealthy eating and physical exercise habits. Methods We ... -
Ochratoxigenic moulds and effectiveness of grape field antifungals in a climatic change scenario
(Wiley, 2012)BACKGROUND: The presence of ochratoxin A (OTA) in grapes and grape derivatives has been reported mainly in the Mediterranean area. Consequently, great efforts are being made to prevent the growth of Aspergillus on grapes. ... -
On d-Fibonacci digraphs
(Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) Indonesia; Indonesian Combinatorial Society (InaCombS); GTA Research Group, University of Newcastle (Australia), 2021)The d-Fibonacci digraphs F(d, k), introduced here, have the number of vertices following some generalized Fibonacci-like sequences. They can be defined both as digraphs on alphabets and as iterated line digraphs. Here we ... -
On quotient digraphs and voltage digraphs
(Combinatorial Mathematics Society of Australasia (CMSA), 2017)We study the relationship between two key concepts in the theory of digraphs, those of quotient digraphs and voltage digraphs. These techniques contract or expand a given digraph in order to study its characteristics, or ... -
On the extensions of the Darboux theory of integrability
(IOP Publishing, 2013)Recently some extensions of the classical Darboux integrability theory to autonomous and non-autonomous polynomial vector fields were completed. The classical Darboux integrability theory and its recent extensions are based ... -
On the Laplacian spectra of token graphs
(Elsevier, 2021)We study the Laplacian spectrum of token graphs, also called symmetric powers of graphs. The k-token graph Fk(G) of a graph G is the graph whose vertices are the k-subsets of vertices from G, two of which being adjacent ... -
On the Randić index of graphs
(Elsevier, 2018-09-11)For a given graph G = (V, E), the degree mean rate of an edge uv ∈ E is a half of the quotient between the geometric and arithmetic means of its end-vertex degrees d(u) and d(v). In this note, we derive tight bounds for ... -
On the spectra and eigenspaces of the universal adjacency matrices of arbitrary lifts of graphs
(Taylor & Francis, 2022-02-19)The universal adjacency matrix U of a graph Γ, with adjacency matrix A, is a linear combination of A, the diagonal matrix D of vertex degrees, the identity matrix I, and the all-1 matrix J with real coefficients, that is, ... -
Optimising the number of isolates to be used to estimate growth parameters of mycotoxigenic species
(Elsevier, 2012)The aim of the present work was to mathematically assess the minimum number of isolates that would lead to equivalent growth parameters estimates to those obtained with a high number of strains. The datasets from two ... -
Optimization of coupled building roof solar reflectance and thermal insulation level for annual energy saving under different climate zones
(International Solar Energy Society, 2017)The aim of this work is to assess building energy performance optimization potential of cool roof solutions in different climate conditions worldwide through dynamic thermal-energy simulation and optimization analysis. Moreover, ... -
Optimization of Design Variables of a Phase Change Material Storage Tank and Comparison of a 2D Implicit vs. 2D Explicit Model
(MDPI, 2021)In this study, a thermal energy storage tank filled with commercial phase change material flat slabs is investigated. The tank provides heat at around 15 C to the evaporator of a seasonal thermal energy storage system ... -
Optimization of deterministic controls for a cooling radiant wall coupled to a PV array
(Elsevier, 2018)Thermally activated building systems (TABS) can work as thermal energy storage (TES) systems, which are useful in shifting the energy use of space cooling and heating in buildings. The present study analyses and optimizes ... -
Optimization of hyphenated asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation for the analysis of silver nanoparticles in aqueous solutions
(Springer, 2021-09-19)The extensive use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in consumer products, medicine, and industry leads to their release into the environment. Thus, a characterization of the concentration, size, fate, and toxicity of AgNPs ... -
Optimization of the level and range of working temperature of the PCM in the gypsum-microencapsulated PCM thermal energy storage unit for summer conditions in Central Poland
(IOP Publishing, 2017)In this paper thermal energy storage (TES) unit in a form of a ceiling panel made of gypsum-microencapsulated PCM composite with internal U-shaped channels was considered and optimal characteristics of the microencapsulated ... -
Optimized demand side management (DSM) of peak electricity demand by coupling low temperature thermal energy storage (TES) and solar PV
(Elsevier, 2018)Cooling in the industry sector contributes significantly to the peak demand placed on an electrical utility grid. New electricity tariff structures include high charges for electricity consumption in peak hours which leads ... -
Oxidative damage compromises energy metabolism in the axonal degeneration mouse model of X-Adrenoleukodystrophy
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., 2011)Aims: Chronic metabolic impairment and oxidative stress are associated with the pathogenesis of axonal dysfunction in a growing number of neurodegenerative conditions. To investigate the intertwining of both noxious factors, ... -
Oxidative stress underlying axonal degeneration in adrenoleukodystrophy: a paradigm for multifactorial neurodegenerative diseases?
