The hair thread is a natural fiber formed by keratin, a protein containing high concentration of sulfur coming from the amino acid cystine. The main physical proprieties of the hair depend mostly on its geometry; the physical and mechanical properties of hair involve characteristics to improve: elasticity, smoothness, volume, shine, and softness due to both the significant adherence of the cuticle scales and the movement control (malleability), as well as the easiness of combing, since they reduce ...

Good levels of substrate-controlled, 1,5-syn-stereoinduction are obtained in boron-mediated aldol reactions of β-trichloromethyl-β-alkoxy and β-trifluoromethyl-β-alkoxy methylketones with achiral aldehydes, independent of the nature of the β-alkoxy protecting group (TBS or PMB). In the case of boron aldol reactions of β-aryl-β-alkoxy methylketones, the 1,5-anti-adducts were obtained with high levels of diastereoselectivity only with a β-OPMB group.

In detecting sensitive media, violence is one of the hardest to define objectively, and thus, a significant challenge to detect automatically. While many studies were conducted in detecting aspects of violence, very few try to approach the general concept. We propose a method that aims to enable machines to understand a high-level concept of violence by first breaking it down into smaller, more objective ones, such as fights, explosions, blood, and gunshots, to combine them later, leading to a better ...

The objective was to investigate the role of consumption of grape juice (GJ), red wine (RW) or resveratrol solution (RS) on rats treated with a high-fat diet (HFD). Among the drinks offered, GJ had lower content of polyphenols and trans-resveratrol. Nevertheless, GJ showed similar content of anthocyanin and antioxidant activity to RW, although higher than RS. In rats treated with HFD, consumption of GJ presented best antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, reducing glutathione peroxidase and interleukin- ...

Engineered skin coverings have been adopted clinically to support extensive and deep wounds that result in fewer healthy skin remaining and therefore take longer to heal. Nonetheless, these biomaterials demand intensive labor and an expensive final cost. In comparison to conventional bandages, which do not meet all the requirements of wound care, electrospun fiber mats could potentially provide an excellent environment for healing. In this work, we developed two nanostructured scaffolds based on ...

Extracellular vesicles (EV) are important carriers of biologically active components in a number of organisms, including fungal cells. Experimental characterization of fungal EVs suggested that these membranous compartments are likely involved in the regulation of several biological events. In fungal pathogens, these events include mechanisms of disease progression and/or control, suggesting potential targets for therapeutic intervention or disease prophylaxis. In this manuscript we describe methods ...

Two images share a parenthood relationship if one is obtained by applying transformations to the other. However, this is not the only form of parenting that can exist among images.
