PROCESSING AND APPLICATION OF POLYMERIC BIOMATERIALS: RECENT ADVANCES AND PERSPECTIVES. Biomaterials have been intensively investigated due to the increase in the elderly population and high prevalence of several disorders, such as cardiovascular and orthopedic diseases. Polymeric and composite polymeric materials in combination with different proc...

Thousands of women and children in Uganda die every year due to problems related to pregnancy and childbirth. About 20% of these deaths are avoidable by better use of contraception. Many women are reluctant to begin contraception because of fears and myths about side-effects, and because they need the agreement of their husbands. The aim of this re...

There is a high demand for drug delivery systems that enable local therapy of esophageal diseases such as eosinophilic esophagitis. For the development of such drug delivery systems, suitable in vitro test procedures are needed that allow a biorelevant characterization of dosage forms. With the help of the new test system presented in this thesis i...

In this study, the effects of different temperatures, incubation times and types of reducing sugars, including glucose and different low molecular weight (Mw) chito-oligosaccharides (COS) with varying acetylation degree (AD), on the extent of Maillard reaction (MR) on chitosan-based films were studied. Interestingly, an improvement of structural an...
The current study aimed at examining the effects of subtitled films on the vocabulary development of English as second language (ESL) students. To able to achieve this aim a mixed methods research design was employed. For the quantitative part a quasi-experimental design was implemented through a quantitative research approach. For the qualitative ...
Casings are an essential component in the transformation of comminuted meat into a finished sausage. Their strength and the texture of the ground meat determine the “bite” perception when eating a sausage. Traditionally, meat has been stuffed into natural casings, but alternatives, such as cellulose and co-extruded collagen casings are emerging. Bo...
Dialogue with the famous film editor Pedro del Rey del Val about his extensive and prolific career in the film industry. Since his beginnings in the industry as an assistant editor in the late 1940s, Pedro del Rey has been responsible for the editing of some of the most iconic and successful titles in Spanish cinema during the second half of the 20...
La détection de nombreuses molécules organiques complexes (MOCs) dans l’espace notamment dans les comètes mais aussi sur terre à l’intérieur des micrométéorites a permis de stimuler et d’élargir considérablement le champ de recherche sur ces molécules. Les travaux effectués au cours de cette thèse ont porté sur l’irradiation des MOCs en phase solid...

Improving wound healing by developing innovative dressing materials has been an important focus over the past few years in the biomedical field. In this regard, the current study focuses on developing new dressings based on acrylate-endcapped urethane-based polymers (AUPs). The materials have been processed into films and electrospun mats. Exudate ...
Dans un contexte d’une exploitation cinématographique française tourmentée, l’article présente l’expérimentation de la première salle éphémère en France, la Forêt Électrique, installée dans une friche urbaine à Toulouse. Pensée pour répondre aux attentes du public des jeunes adultes qui délaissent aujourd’hui les salles indépendantes, l’équipe a so...
