Expanders, as lignosulfonates, are crucial for a good performance of Pb/acid batteries.In the process of discharge, the Pb and the PbO2 go to PbSO4.The formed PbSO4 is adsorbed on the surface of the Pb electrode and dramatically reduces the lifetime of the battery by the formation of big PbSO4 crystals.In order to prevent that, the addition of expa
The Covid-19 phenomenon and a series of insurance default events increase the risk of bankruptcy.Financial distress analysis becomes a crucial study to prevent bankruptcy.This research was conducted to present empirical evidence of the influence of premium growth ratio, liquidity ratio, risk-based capital, investment adequacy ratio, technical reser
Reconstructed human adipose tissues represent novel tools available to perform in vitro pharmaco-toxicological studies.We used adipose-derived human stromal/stem cells to reconstruct, using tissue engineering techniques, such an adipose tridimensional model.To determine to what extent the in vitro model is representative of its native counterpart,
