This thesis focuses on the development of active multifunctional dressing materials and nanoparticle formulations with suitable exploitation characteristics for chronic wounds treatment. Chronic wounds a growing clinical ...
Chronic wounds became burdensome problem of worldwide healthcare systems, along with the increased elderly population, which is the most vulnerable risk group, predisposed to their development. Chronic wounds represent a ...
Hydrogen is one of the most promising solutions for the energy future, since its combustion only produces water vapour, so it does not pollute. In addition, it can be obtained from abundant and renewable substances. Fuel ...
Reliable access to freshwater is one of the fundamental pillars for our society. Freshwater scarcity has become a major concern in many arid and sem i-arid countries worldwide to s uch an extent that water s upply for ...
lnfectious diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide while the constantly raising antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major concern for the public health. During the infection establishment bacteria! pathogens ...
The accelerated emergence of drug resistant bacteria is one of the most serious problems in healthcare and the difficulties in finding new antibiotics make it even more challenging. To overcome the action of antibiotics ...
Identifying hazards is fundamental for ensuring the safe design and operation of a system in process plants and other facilities. Several techniques are available to identify hazardous situations, all of which require their ...
In the last years has been performed a huge number of research related to nutrients (mainly N and P) recovery from waste water in order to promote their reuse and also to avoid eutrophication. Recovering nutrient from waste ...
(English) Surfaces with special functionalities owed to their surface topographies or textures are present all around us in nature. Millions of living organisms around us profit from those special functionalities thanks ...
This Thesis work addresses the challenge of designing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) dosage Strategies for improving Fenton and photo-Fenton applications. The determination of the H2O2 dosage scheme that minimizes hydrogen ...
(English) Syngas (a mixture of H2 and CO) is a versatile feedstock that can be used to produce a wide range of chemicals and fuels. For that reason, there is a great interest to optimize and explore new routes for its ...
In recent years, as a result of climate change, the interest in sustainable materials has increased dramatically. The replacement of compounds of petrochemical origin by bio-based has spread to all areas of chemistry. ...
(English) Zirconia ceramic is widely used in numerous fields, such as electronics, machinery, and biomedical applications, due to its excellent properties as chemical resistance, thermal stability, electrical resistance, ...
In the last decade, conductive polymers have received great interest in both scientific and technological levels due to the electroactive properties exhibited by these materials. For this reason, the main aim of this ...
The human M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M3R) regulates many important physiological roles in the central and peripheral nervous systems, and it is involved in the pathophysiology of several neurodegenerative and ...
(English) Heterogeneous catalysis is one of the most important chemical technologies available today to produce most chemicals at the basis of industrial production. The transition to a greener energy production demands ...
Dinamisme, capacitat de resposta i flexibilitat són característiques essencials en el desenvolupament de la societat actual. Les noves tendències de globalització i els avenços en tecnologies de la informació i comunicació ...
CATALA <br/> <br/>La contaminació de les aigües superficials i subterrànies representa el problema mediambiental més greu a què s'ha d'enfrontar la indústria minera, a causa de les denominades aigües àcides de mina (AAM), ...
L'urani es troba present en el medi a baixes concentracions en roques, sòls i aigua, però l'activitat industrial i el desenvolupament de la tecnologia nuclear ha suposat la generació de grans quantitats de residus i zones ...
Due to the problems associated with the generation and storage of hydrogen in portable applications, the use of ammonia fer the on-site production of hydrogen through its catalytic decomposition has been proposed. This ...
