A study of music videos from intermedial theory perspectives. Also a case study on Mi.I.A:s song and video Paper Planes.

Nano-magnetic biocatalyst particles, lipase-immobilized chitosan-crosslinked magnetic nanoparticles (LCMNs) were prepared by a new approach integrated from magnetic nanoparticle preparation, in situ thin layer coating and crosslinking of chitosan, and enzyme immobilization method. Thin layer coating of magnetic (Fe3O4) by crosslinked chitosan nanoparticles were prepared by reacting FeCl3.6H2O and

This paper addresses the question of the origin of Roman fired bricks from the perspective of diffusion of innovations. It is seen as a part of a larger process, related to cultural evolution and the transferal of behavioural habits through social interaction. Fired bricks are particularly well suited to shed light on this topic, since the diffusion of bricks was both irregular and extended over a

The aim of this study was to explore the effect of Maillard products in skim milk powder obtained after long storage, compared to fresh skim milk powder. Methods: Young rats were weaned onto a diet based on skim milk powder with high concentration of Mai

A feasibility study of a Bayesian based algorithm for orphan source localization by means of mobile gamma spectrometry is presented. The method was tested on three types of gamma sources (137Cs, 133Ba and 131I) using a HPGe detector mounted on a vehicle. Estimates on source activity and source locations were within 51% and 29% of actual values, respectively. Further studies are required to validat

OBJECTIVE: Depression has been associated with diabetic retinopathy and increased plasma levels of galectin-3, a lectin expressed in activated macrophages. Increased levels of sCD163, the soluble form of a macrophage expressed scavenger receptor involved in several inflammatory processes, have been demonstrated in the vitreous of the eye in type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients with severe diabetic retin
