A new approach to examine non-linear and mediated growth and convergence outcomes of cohesion policy
(Economies, 2021)This paper contributes to a wide range of studies on Cohesion policy (CP) outcomes by proposing a new approach to directly examine its effect on convergence. We extended the non-linear specification of the conditional ... -
Accumulation and Toxicity of Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles in Cells and Experimental Animals
(International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2016)The uptake and distribution of negatively charged superparamagnetic iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles (SPIONs) in mouse embryonic fibroblasts NIH3T3, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signal influenced by SPIONs injected ... -
Achievements of the European Union countries in seeking a sustainable electricity sector
(Energies, 2019)The electricity production sector has a significant share of final energy consumption and has a huge potential to use more renewable energy sources. Over the last two decades, the European Union (EU) reform of electricity ... -
Adaptive response of Saccharomyces hosts to Totiviridae L-A dsRNA viruses Is achieved through intrinsically balanced action of targeted transcription factors
(Journal of fungi, 2022)Totiviridae L-A virus is a widespread yeast dsRNA virus. The persistence of the L-A virus alone appears to be symptomless, but the concomitant presence of a satellite M virus provides a killer trait for the host cell. The ... -
An overview of multi-criteria decision-making methods in dealing with sustainable energy development issues
(Energies, 2018)The measurement of sustainability is actively used today as one of the main preventative instruments in order to reduce the decline of the environment. Sustainable decision-making in solving energy issues can be supported ... -
Application of structural equation modeling (SEM) to solve environmental sustainability problems: a comprehensive review and meta-analysis
(Sustainability, 2017)Most methodological areas assume common serious reflections to certify difficult study and publication practices, and, therefore, approval in their area. Interestingly, relatively little attention has been paid to reviewing ... -
Assessment of Rhizobium anhuiense bacteria as a potential biocatalyst for microbial biofuel cell design
(Biosensors, 2023)The development of microbial fuel cells based on electro-catalytic processes is among the novel topics, which are recently emerging in the sustainable development of energetic systems. Microbial fuel cells have emerged as ... -
Associations between Leisure Preferences, Mindfulness, Psychological Capital, and Life Satisfaction
(International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022)This study intended to explore which leisure preferences contribute to mindfulness, psychological capital, and life satisfaction and assess whether mindfulness, psychological capital, and life satisfaction are associated ... -
Bacterial viability in self-healing concrete: A case study of non-ureolytic bacillus species
(Microorganisms, 2023)Cracking is an inevitable feature of concrete, typically leading to corrosion of the embedded steel reinforcement and massive deterioration because of the freezing–thawing cycles. Different means have been proposed to ... -
Behavioral analysis of a mast with a combined prestressed stayed columns system and core of a spun concrete circular cross-section
(Buildings: Special issue: Advances in experimental and computational research on reinforced concrete, 2023)Widely used telecommunication structures are usually of the tower or mast type. For medium and tall telecommunications structures, tower-type constructions become less efficient compared to mast-type structures. The goal ... -
Big data manifestation in municipal waste management and cryptocurrency sectors: positive and negative implementation factors
(Sustainability, 2020)Two mainstream topics have been widely discussed over the past few years: ways to reduce the human impact on nature and the way that the industrial revolution 4.0 changes industries. The aim of this research topic is to ... -
Compact square-wave pulse electroporator with controlled electroporation efficiency and cell viability
(Symmetry, 2020)The design and development of a compact square-wave pulse generator for the electroporation of biological cells is presented. This electroporator can generate square-wave pulses with durations from 3 μs up to 10 ms, voltage ... -
Computer Programming E-Learners’ Personality Traits, Self-Reported Cognitive Abilities, and Learning Motivating Factors
(Brain sciences, 2021)Educational systems around the world encourage students to engage in programming activities, but programming learning is one of the most challenging learning tasks. Thus, it was significant to explore the factors related ... -
Effect of laser processing on surface properties of additively manufactured 18-percent nickel maraging steel parts
(Coatings, 2020)In the present work, the experimental study on laser processing of additively manufactured (AM) maraging steel part surface was conducted. Nanosecond pulsed laser at ablation mode was used for surface modification in ... -
Engineering of advanced materials for high magnetic field sensing: A review
(Sensors, 2023)Advanced scientific and industrial equipment requires magnetic field sensors with decreased dimensions while keeping high sensitivity in a wide range of magnetic fields and temperatures. However, there is a lack of commercial ... -
Essential oils of Mentha arvensis and Cinnamomum cassia exhibit distinct antibacterial activity at different temperatures in vitro and on chicken skin /
(Foods., 2023.)The bacterial contamination of meat is a global concern, especially for the risk of Salmonella infection that can lead to health issues. Artificial antibacterial compounds used to preserve fresh meat can have negative ... -
Exploring the limits of early predictive maintenance in wind turbines applying an anomaly detection technique
(Sensors, 2023)The aim of the presented investigation is to explore the time gap between an anomaly appearance in continuously measured parameters of the device and a failure, related to the end of the remaining resource of the device-critical ... -
