The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of an onium salt in the polymerization kinetics of a dental adhesive model resin. A monomer mixture, based on Bis-GMA, TEGDMA and HEMA, was used as a model dental adhesive resin, which was polymerized using camphorquinone (CQ) as a photo-initiator in addition to either binary or ternary photo-initiator systems. The binary systems were formulat...

The test results showed tha...

The recent penetration of renewable sources in the energy system caused a transformation of the needs of the distribution system and amplified the need of energy storage systems to properly balance the electricity grid. Among electrochemical energy storage devices, all vanadium flow batteries are those of the most promising technologies due to their high efficiency, long lifetime, reliability a...

Diffusing computations are an important class of algorithms for distributed systems. A diffusing computation begins when any node in the network designated as the initiator passes information onto its immediate neighbors. On receiving this information each neighbor of the initiator remembers the source and in turn passes on this information to their neighbors. When a non initiator node does not...

In this paper, the aqueous copolymer dispersions of methyl (meth)acrylate-grafted poly(vinyl alcohol) are in situ synthesized and studied as a promising platform for deposition thin films with advanced applications. A series varied structure composition obtained at mild reaction conditions by carrying out redox polymerization different monomer-to-PVA ratio initiator concentration. The colloidal...

Indolone-N-oxides (INODs) are bioreducible and possess remarkable anti-malarial activities in the low nanomolar range in vitro against different Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) strains and in vivo. INODs have an original mechanism of action: they damage the host cell membrane without affecting non-parasitized erythrocytes. These molecules produce a redox signal which activates SYK tyrosin...

Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) catalyzes the reduction of ribonucleotides to deoxyribonucleotides. Class I RNRs are composed of two homodimeric proteins, alpha2 and beta2. The class Ia E. coli beta2 contains dinuclear, antiferromagnetically coupled iron centers and one tyrosyl free radical, Y122*/beta2. Y122* acts as a radical initiator in catalysis. Redox-linked conformational changes may acco...
