Nowadays, we are assisting in the exceptional growth research relating to development of wearable devices for sweat analysis. Sweat is a biofluid that contains useful health information and allows non-invasive, continuous comfortable collection. For this reason, it an excellent detection different analytes. In work, electrochemical sensors based on polyaniline thin films deposited flexible substrate polyethylene terephthalate coated with indium tin oxide were studied. Polyaniline abstained...

ABSTRACT The Tertiary covers of the Peloritani Mountain Belt (NE Sicily) provide a complete stratigraphical record tectonic events related to collision in Central Mediterranean region. tectonosedimentary evolution is inferred from interpretation new field data and indicates various stages polyphase deformation. composed mostly crystalline units representing active margin European Plate that was thrust over descending African during Tertiary. Late Eocene‐early Oligocene syn‐orogenic...
Melatonin-loaded hyaluronic acid (HA) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) gels were prepared by using freeze-thaw technique an emulsion method followed to produce a new synergistic system for topical application. Freeze-thaw hydrogels emulgels characterized means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, rheology swelling tests. The porous structure the was shown scanning electron microscopy observations thermal properties tested differential calorimetry measurements. Bioadhesion in vitro...
Although anal squamous cell carcinomas (ASCC) are rare in the general community, rates of ASCC among HIV-positive men who have sex with (MSM) approach those major cancers such as colorectal and lung cancers. Anal cytology high-resolution anoscopy (HRA) been proposed methods for diagnosis high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGAIN), precursor ASCC. To determine prevalence disease MSM, we investigated cytological histological findings from a large HIV clinic Sydney, Australia.This was...
In this study, we derived the first 3-D P-wave seismic attenuation images (QP) as well new VP and VP/VS models for crust in southeastern Sicily. We used a large data set of local events occurring time span 1994–2013. The results tomographic study have important implications on behaviour region. Based velocity images, identified distinct volumes characterized by different fluid content, which correlate with seismicity distribution. Moreover, obtained tomographies help us to provide more...
In this work, composite coatings of chitosan and silver nanoparticles were presented as an antibacterial coating for orthopedic implants. Coatings deposited on AISI 304L using the galvanic deposition method. deposition, difference electrochemical redox potential between two metals (the substrate a sacrificial anode) has pivotal role in process. coupling these spontaneous reaction occurs thus no external power supply is necessary. Using process, uniform exposed area good adherence metallic...
To realize the benefits of a hydrogen economy, must be produced cleanly, efficiently and affordably from renewable resources and, preferentially, close to end-users. The goal is sustainable cycle production use: in first stage cycle, then used feed fuel cell. This produces no pollution greenhouse gases. In this context, development electrolyzers producing high-purity with high efficiency low cost great importance. Electrode materials play fundamental role influencing electrolyzer...
The present work investigates the behavior of nanostructured electrodes consisting an array nanowires NiFe alloy in KOH + 0.5 M NaCl solution. aim is to explore possibility using these for hydrogen production by seawater electrolysis. Seawater splitting requires a highly selective electrode on anode side, where evolution molecular chlorine or formation other active compounds can compete with oxygen reaction. Nanostructured electrodes, obtained template electrosynthesis, were tested at room...
