Mesothelioma is a rare aggressive cancer that develops from the mesothelium. Recent molecular analyses have defined four different types of mesothelioma based on gene expression and two major molec...

Through evolution of life, animals have adapted to the ubiquitous presence of metals in the biosphere. They utilize the more frequent ones as essential constituents of their biochemical machinery. ...

Model predictive control (MPC) is an advanced control design used in many industries worldwide. An MPC selects control actions which are optimal with respect to a given performance metric as well a...

Accumulating evidence suggests that not all obese subjects are at increased cardiometabolic risk and that the "metabolically healthy obese" phenotype may exist in the absence of metabolic abnormali...

With their helical structure, cholesteric liquid crystals figure prominently in liquidcrystal science. The selective reflection of light is their flagship property, and theyoffer a myriad of applic...

Viruses in the Parvoviridae family constitute one of the most diverse and intriguing fields of research. While they all share an ssDNA genome and a small capsid, they can differ widely in structure...

In recent years, metal halide perovskites have emerged as a rising star among semiconductor materials owing to their low cost, solution processability, and fascinating combination of material prope...

In several industrial fields (such as automotive, steelmaking, aerospace, and fire protection systems) metals need to withstand a combination of cyclic loadings and high temperatures. In this condi...

Major depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) are now recognized among the most frequent psychiatric disorders, affecting 16-17% and 2-3% of the general population, respectively. They ar...

Metal matrix composites are a unique class of materials capable of circumventing the disadvantages of each category of materials they are composed of (polymers, metals, and ceramics). They can be d...

Energy efficiency and low-carbon technologies are key contributors to curtailing the emission of greenhouse gases that continue to cause global warming. The efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissio...

The book (Special Issue) presents impressive new results related to a wide spectrum of occurrences of platinum-group minerals (PGM) and natural compounds enriched in platinum-group elements (PGE), ...

Metal-organic frameworks are among the most promising novel materials. The concept of MOFs was first introduced in 1990. They were actually initially used in catalysis, gas separation, membranes, e...

Micro- and nano-scale manufacturing has been the subject of ever more research and industrial focus over the past 10 years. Traditional lithography-based technology forms the basis of micro-electro...

This book is the result of a Special Issue published in Applied Sciences, entitled "New Trends in Recycled Aggregate Concrete". It identifies emerging research areas within the field of recycled ag...
