Objectives Serum indices included in clinical chemistry instruments are widely used by laboratories to assess the quality of samples. Instruments that report quantitative results allow an evaluation of their diagnostic performance in a similar way to other biochemical tests. The Spanish Society of Laboratory Medicine (SEQC-ML) launched a monthly Ex...

Objectives Cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators have revolutionized the therapeutic landscape in CF treatment. These vital drugs are extensively metabolized via CYP3A, so caution must be exercised in multimodal CF therapy because of the risk of adverse drug interactions. Our goal was to develop a highly sensiti...

Artemisinins, a group of plant-derived sesquiterpene lactones, are efficient antimalarial agents. They also share anti-inflammatory and anti-viral activities and were considered for treatment of neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Additionally, artemisinins bind to gephyrin, the multifunctional scaffold of GABAergic synapses,...

We explore conditions for the Frobenius–Wielandt morphism to commute with the operations of deflation and tensor induction on the Burnside ring. In doing this, we review the commutativity with induction. The techniques used for induction and tensor induction no longer work for deflation, so, in this case, we make use of tools coming from the theory...

In this study, the surface of AA-2024 alloy substrate was coated with an Al-B4C reinforced composite using hot press sintering. Al and B4C powders were synthesized by mechanical alloying. To this end, four samples were prepared. As a reference sample, AA-2024 substrate was coated with pure Al powder under 110 MPa pressure. In the other samples, the...

In this work, a solution heat treatment of Al-Si-Mg-Cu casting alloy was analyzed. A new short solution heat treatment (SHT) with only 60 min has been allowed. The results revealed that this short SHT enables the improvement of the dendritic structure and the spheroidization of the eutectic silicon particles. Furthermore, the alloy showed improved ...

Produzierende Unternehmen sind häufig in globalen Netzwerken organisiert. Zur Sicherstellung einer hohen Wettbewerbsfähigkeit muss jeder Standort im Netzwerk eine spezifische Rolle einnehmen und einen gemeinsam festgelegten Leistungsauftrag verfolgen. Diese Zuordnung erfolgt im Rahmen eines Standortrollenkonzepts. Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt ein...

Zinc oxide, a well-known inorganic metal oxide, in nanoparticle form exhibits photo-catalysis, antimicrobial behavior and is also employed in energy cells as well as sensor devices. In the present study, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) were synthesized using Adathoda beddomei (A. Beddomei) leaf extract as well as Plectranthus barbatus (P. Barbat...
