Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder affecting millions of people worldwide for which there are only symptomatic therapies. Small molecules able to target key pathological processes in PD have emerged as interesting options modifying disease progression. We previously shown that (poly)phenol-enriched fraction (PEF) Corema album L. leaf extract modulates central events pathogenesis, namely α-synuclein (αSyn) toxicity, aggregation and clearance. PEF was now subjected...
Edible berries are considered to be among nature's treasure chests as they contain a large number of (poly)phenols with potentially health-promoting properties. However, complex (poly)phenol mixtures, it is challenging associate any interesting pharmacological activity single compound. Thus, identification pharmacologically phenols requires systematic analyses berry extracts. Here, raspberry (Rubusidaeus, var Prestige) extracts were systematically analyzed identify bioactive compounds...
One of the problems associated with photopolymers as optical recording media is thickness variation during process. Different values shrinkages or swelling are reported in literature for photopolymers. Furthermore, these variations depend on spatial frequencies gratings stored materials. Thickness can be measured using different methods: studying deviation from Bragg's angle nonslanted gratings, MicroXAM S/N 8038 interferometer, by thermomechanical analysis experiments. In a previous paper,...
This article evaluates some of the most used solubility models and their applicability to antioxidants, namely, family catechins. From list possible catechins, main four were selected for this study: epicatechin, epigallocatechin, epicatechin gallate, epigallocatechin gallate. Both enthalpy fusion melting temperature measured experimentally these molecules compared with values obtained using predictive methods. Solubility measurements mixtures water ethanol performed high-throughput...
Photopolymers are appealing materials for the fabrication of diffractive optical elements (DOEs). We evaluate possibilities polyvinyl-alcohol/acrylamide-based photopolymers to store with low spatial frequencies. record gratings different frequencies in material and analyze behavior measuring transmitted reflected orders as a function exposition. study two compositions photopolymer, without cross-linker. The values diffraction efficiency achieved both make suitable DOEs long periods. Assuming...
The group contribution equation of state (GC-EoS) is used to describe the phase behavior gas + ionic liquid mixtures. With this equation, by application concept, if parameters characteristic functional a family liquids are calculated using experimental data reduced number family, then all same can be predicted. work, parameter table GC-EoS extended systems that comprised an methylimidazolium bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide [−mim][Tf2N] and (H2, CO, C2H4, O2, SO2, CH3OH, N2O, or Xe)....
Okara is a byproduct of the soy milk industry containing valuable phytochemicals, called isoflavones, among other components (i.e., proteins, sugars, fibers, etc.). As waste product, okara an interesting source material for obtaining chemicals, and knowledge behavior such in their complex matrix key step design purification process. Six commercially available macroporous polymeric resins are investigated to measure model equilibrium properties adsorption total solids onto these resins. A new...
We show an accurate procedure to obtain a Fourier transform (FT) with no dc term using commercial twisted-nematic liquid-crystal display. focus on the application holographic storage of binary data pages, where drastic decrease in FT is highly desirable. Two different codification schemes are considered: π radians phase modulation and hybrid ternary modulation. Any deviation values amplitude shift generates appearance strong term. Experimental results confirm that calculated configurations...
Owing to the complexity of food matrices, process synthesis methodologies have not been as widely applied in industry chemical industry. Here, we describe application a methodology design system separate valuable components from byproduct soymilk production. The method yielded number potential processing pathways and relevant mechanistic questions, which required experimental input. combination considering overall on level general transformations, heuristics, additional insights through...
We present the characterization and optimization of phase amplitude modulation a liquid crystal display (LCD) applied to holographic data storage. discuss main LCD regimes demanded in literature application memories: binary amplitude, hybrid ternary (HTM). show how obtain optimally these with LCD. In our strategy it is essential accuracy demonstrated by model we use describe properties This allows for reliable computer search configurations enabling an optimum complex modulation. Results are...
The increasing population demands food supply with the consequent increase in waste. Moreover, not only quantity of demanded increases but so does quality. This situation poses an interesting challenge to industry that is moving towards revalorisation waste and, as a part it, recovery nutritional compounds provide health benefits (nutraceuticals) still present those streams. However, streams possess very complex chemical and physical characteristics, namely multiple phases, ionic hydrophobic...
Photopolymers are useful for different applications such as in the development of holographic memories or optical elements. have an undesirable feature, toxicity their components and low environmental compatibility, particularly if we analyse life cycle devices made with these materials interaction environment. In this sense University Alicante has patented new dry biocompatible photopolymer: Biophotopol. Initially photopolymer was optimized to application. The main goal previous works...
