Short-wavelength near infrared spectroscopy (SW-NIR) is a very rapid, versatile and precise technique, which can be used in many different situations and for very types of products and chemical compounds. Extended multiplicative signal correction (EMSC) is a modification of the standard MSC pre-processing method that allows the separation of physical light scattering effects from chemical (vibrational) light absorbance effects in spectra. In this paper, the EMSC is applied and compared with first derivate, ...

A dual-beam Hadamard multiplexed spectrophotometer is described. The instrument is intended to work in the near-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum (900–1800 nm) and is based on the use of a linear Hadamard mask containing 255 multiplexing elements. Simple symmetric Czerny–Turner optics were employed based on 10 cm diameter, 20 cm focus spherical mirrors and a plane grating containing 295 grooves mm −1 . The dual-path system employs the multiplexed beam exiting from the mask, which can then ...

The evolvable hardware literature reports several methods for the evolution of digital circuits. However, there is a large variability in the set of problems and the appropriate metrics used for the evaluation of the results. In this paper, we propose a set of representative problems to comparatively evaluate metaheuristics when designing Combinational Logic Circuits (CLCs). We also define a set of performance measurements and descriptive statistics to analyze the results found by the search techniques. ...

Harmful effects of potentially toxic elements (PTE’s) in soils relate to their geochemically reactive fraction. To assess the degree of the reactivity, specific extractions or models are needed. Here we applied a 0.43 M HNO3 chemical extraction to assess reactive pools of a broad range of PTE’s in 136 contaminated and non-contaminated soils. Furthermore we derived Freundlich-type models based on commonly available soil properties (pH, organic carbon and clay) as well as extended models that used other ...

To assess environmental risks related to contaminants in soil it is essential to predict the available pool of inorganic contaminants at regional scales, accounting for differences between soils from variable geologic and climatic origins. An approach composed of a well-accepted soil extraction procedure (0.01 M CaCl2) and empirical Freundlich-type models in combination with mechanistically based models which to date have been used only in temperate regions was applied to 136 soils from a South European ...

Scientific studies on new drug delivery systems have significantly increased in the past few years and this growth is expected to continue in the near future (1). Such systems are of great interest because of their ability to improve drug performance in terms of efficacy, safety, and patient compliance (1). In many cases, conventional drug delivery provides an increase of drug concentration at potentially toxic levels (2). Additionally, the need for delivering drugs with fewer side effects has prompted ...

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common malignancies found in males. The development of PCa involves several mutations in prostate epithelial cells, usually linked to developmental changes, such as enhanced resistance to apoptotic death, constitutive proliferation, and, in some cases, to differentiation into an androgen deprivation-resistant phenotype, leading to the appearance of castration-resistant PCa (CRPCa), which leads to a poor prognosis in patients. In this review, we summarize recent ...

A complete understanding of the mechanisms underlying the acquisition of protective immunity is crucial to improve vaccine strategies to eradicate malaria. However, it is still unclear whether recognition of damage signals influences the immune response to Plasmodium infection.
