In the field of biomedical materials, conventional approaches to tissue engineering and wound healing face limitations that encourage the exploration of innovative treatments. This work presents multifaceted exploration of piezoelectric polylactic acid (PLA) films intended for biomedical applications, from the optimization of the conditions for efficient film preparation to the …

Meshless methods are becoming increasingly popular in computational mechanics and engineering. Their main feature is the ability to manage complex geometries while avoiding the often tedious process of mesh generation required by the traditional methods. Various meshless approximations of linear differential operators appearing in the governing problem have been proposed …

RNA molecules dynamically interact with RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), which control various aspects of RNA fate, such as its processing, localisation, and stability. Intricate networks of protein-RNA interactions thereby regulate gene expression and have a profound effect on downstream cellular processes. Most RBPs recognise specific motifs on their bound RNAs, characterised …

Cement production is one of the main contributors to mercury emissions in to the atmosphere. Many national and international legal i nstruments aim to control and reduce Hg emissions. Hg enters the cement production process as an impurity in fuels and raw materials, with the latter being the main source …

In the view of designing new nanostructured materials and tailoring their functional properties, understanding the nucleation and crystal growth mechanisms is becoming increasingly important. Nowadays, one of the most addressed scientific and social problems are those facing energy shortage and global warming. People started to realize the value and importance …

In this doctoral thesis influence of different temperatures (5 °C - 60 °C) on the hydration of belite-ye’elimite-ferrite cement was studied. Fluctuations in temperature can cause changes in the phase assemblage, kinetics of hydration and mechanical properties. Besides temperature, other factors such as the cement clinker phase composition, calcium sulfate …

In recent decades, hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) has attracted considerable attention as a n omnipresent analyte, finding applications in clinical studies/diagnos is , biology, environmental protection, atmospheric studies, homeland security, and various analytical methodologies . This dissertation provides valuable insights into three different types of electrochemical sensors …

Rising demands for food, instigated by population growth and urbanization, are calling for advanced agricultural approaches to increase crop yields. However, the expansion of food production should not come with an unmanageable environmental cost. Plant science is therefore challenged to provide sustainable innovations for combating the detrimental effects of unfavourable …

The subject of the doctoral dissertation is the development of coatings with improved protection of metals against corrosion and antifouling protection on structural steel S355 and aluminum alloy AA7075. S355 is a widely used metal in the construction, while AA7075 is mostly used in the transportation industry. Although they exhibit …
