Nursing and nursing professionals are associated with social stereotypes, which may hinder
the profession's development and future prospects as a scientific discipline. The aim of this …

The purpose of this paper is to review the most significant developments of the last 10 years
in the field of crosslinked polyolefin foams. The methods to produce the foams, the …

This paper is focused on demonstrating that it is possible to reduce the thermal conductivity
of polymeric foams by reducing the average cell size below the micron. For this purpose, a …

Nowadays, our society is facing problems related to energy availability. Owing to the energy
savings that insulators provide, the search for effective insulating materials is a focus of …

The thermal conductivity of a collection of AlSi7 foams with porosities between 0.5 and 0.8
produced throughout the powder metallurgical route has been determined using the …

Could the reduction of the cell size to the nanometer range yield better mechanical
properties than those of microcellular and conventional foams? This study answers this …

In this paper the improvement of thermal insulation behavior of concrete and mortar plastic
compounds is presented. The materials studied were obtained by adding to mortar and …

In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of various primers for the purpose of DNA barcoding
old, pinned museum specimens of blackflies (D iptera: S imuliidae). We analysed 271 …

A water blown rigid polyurethane (PU) formulation has been used to manufacture cellular
nanocomposites containing different concentrations of montmorillonite nanoclays. The PU …

Excitotoxicity elicited by overactivation of N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors is a well-known
characteristic of quinolinic acid-induced neurotoxicity. However, since many experimental …
