The standard genetic test for Lynch syndrome (LS) frequently reveals an absence of pathogenic mutations in DNA mismatch repair genes known to be associated with LS. It was recently shown that germ line deletions in the last exons of EPCAM…

Different Pt-based electrocatalysts supported on carbon nanofibers and carbon black (Vulcan XC-72R) have been prepared using a polymermediated synthesis. The electrocatalysts have been characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and cyclic voltammetry. The effect of carbon nanofibers…

This paper deals with the transmission of the main stability properties (lower and
upper semicontinuity in Berge sense, and closedness) from a given closed–convex-valued mapping to
its corresponding relative boundary and extreme point set mappings, and vice versa. The domain

The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of the fat mass percentage and age on the mobility of these children. It was used the EK functional motor scale to determine their movement capacity. It was also used…

Aim. This paper is a report of a study conducted to identify the conditions that favour the relief of the burden of female caregivers of relatives with advanced dementia. Background. Respite services are a response to caregivers’ needs for rest.…

In this paper we study the distribution of the zeros of each function G_{n}(z)≡1+2^{z}+...+n^{z}, n≥2, which approaches the Riemann zeta function for Rez<-1, and is closely related to the solutions of the functional equations f(z)+f(2z)+...+f(nz)=0. We determine the density of…

The different transitions and reactions involved in the thermal processing of ternary EVA-PE-ADC mixtures, with different concentrations of polyethylene (PE) and azodicarbonamide (ADC), used as foaming agent, have been studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
The effect of…

Porous materials are gaining interest due to their potential for storing hydrogen via physisorption. In the present work, two carbon fibres, carbonised at 973 and 1273 K, have been chemically activated with KOH and NaOH, in order to obtain materials…

Nowadays, the material disassembly is an important issue for the industry. This paper presents an algorithm to sequence the task to be performed in the disassembly of a specific material from a product or to separate all the materials of…

The adult mammalian retina has been for long considered to lack neurogenerative capacity. However, retinal stem/progenitor cells which can originate retinal neurons in vitro have been recently reported in the ciliary body of adult mammals. Here we have explored the…
