• Metal uptake by sunflower (Helianthus annuus) Irrigated with water polluted with chromium and nickel 

  Stoikou, Vasiliki; Andrianos, Vangelis; Stasinos, Sotiris; Kostakis, Marios G; Attiti, Sofia; Thomaidis, Nikolaos S; Zabetakis, Ioannis (MDPI, 2017)

  The water aquifers of the regions of Asopos River in Viotia and Messapia in Evia (Greece) have been contaminated with hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)) and bivalent nickel (Ni (II)). Given that these areas are the two biggest ...
• Selective doping of Ni2+ in highly transparent glass-ceramics containing nano-spinels ZnGa2O4 and Zn1+xGa2-2xGexO4 for broadband near-infrared fiber amplifiers 

  Gao, Zhigang; Liu, Yinyao; Ren, Jing; Fang, Zaijin; Lu, Xiaosong; Lewis, Elfed; Farrell, Gerald; Yang, Jun; Wang, Pengfei (Nature Publishing Group, 2017)

  Selective doping of Ni2+ in octahedral sites provided by nanocrystals embedded in glass-ceramics (GCs) is crucial to the enhancement of broadband near-infrared (NIR) emission. In this work, a NIR emission with a full- ...
• Novel curcumin loaded nanoparticles engineered for blood-brain barrier crossing and able to disrupt Abeta aggregates 

  Ruozi, Barbara; Belletti, Daniela; Pederzoli, Francesca; Masoni, Martina; Keller, Johannes; Ballestrazzi, Antonio; Vandelli, Maria Angela; Tosi, Giovanni; Grabrucker, Andreas M (Elsevier, 2017)

  . The formation of extracellular aggregates built up by deposits of β-amyloid (Aβ) is a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Curcumin has been reported to display anti-amyloidogenic activity, not only by inhibiting the ...
• Redox electrocatalysis of floating nanoparticles: determining electrocatalytic properties without the influence of solid supports 

  Peljo, Pekka; Scanlon, Micheál D; Olaya, Astrid J; Rivier, Lucie; Smirnov, Evgeny; Girault, Hubert H (American Chemical Society, 2017)

  Redox electrocatalysis (catalysis of electron transfer reactions by floating conductive particles) is discussed from the point-of-view of Fermi level equilibration, and an overall theoretical framework is given. Examples ...
• In vitro characterisation of fresh and frozen sex-sorted bull spermatozoa 

  Holden, Shauna A; Murphy, Craig; Moreno, Juan F; Butler, Stephen T; Cromie, Andrew R; Lonergan, Patrick; Fair, Seán (CSIRO Publishing, 2017)

  This study sought to compare the in vitro characteristics of fresh and frozen non-sorted (NS) and sex-sorted (SS) bull spermatozoa. Experiment 1: Holstein–Friesian ejaculates (n = 10 bulls) were split across four treatments ...
