Biosensing with Fluorescent Carbon Nanotubes. [PDF]

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl, 2022
Optical biosensors are important tools for basic research and non‐invasive diagnostics. Carbon nanotubes are versatile near‐infrared fluorescent and non‐bleaching materials that can be chemically functionalized to detect a broad variety of biomolecules.

Tolerability and the effect on skin Staphylococcus pseudintermedius density of repeated diluted sodium hypochlorite (bleach) baths at 0.005% in healthy dogs

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 489-494, December 2023., 2023
Background – Dilute sodium hypochlorite (bleach) baths at 0.005% concentration twice weekly have been shown to markedly reduce the severity of atopic dermatitis in children, yet no tolerability and efficacy data are available for this treatment in dogs.

Sensitivity of a Hymenoptera serological immunoglobulin (Ig)E assay for the diagnosis of venom hypersensitivity in dogs

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 543-553, December 2023., 2023
Background – Hymenoptera envenomation with honey bee (Apis mellifera) and paper wasp (Polistes spp.) may cause life‐threatening anaphylaxis in dogs. In human patients, clinical history, intradermal testing (IDT) and measurement of allergen‐specific serological immunoglobulin (Ig)E (sIgE) are used to support a diagnosis of Hymenoptera venom ...

Spatial contagion during the first wave of the COVID‐19 pandemic: Some lessons from the case of Madrid, Spain

Regional Science Policy &Practice, Volume 15, Issue 3, Page 474-492, April 2023., 2023
Abstract This paper analyses the magnitude of the spatial transmission of COVID‐19 through the municipalities of the region of Madrid during the first pandemic wave using a spatial contagion index. The study also provides additional insights into the main factors contributing to the spread of the virus in both time and space by estimating a novel ...

A randomised controlled trial testing the rebound‐preventing benefit of four days of prednisolone during the induction of oclacitinib therapy in dogs with atopic dermatitis

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 34, Issue 2, Page 99-106, April 2023., 2023
Background – A rebound of pruritus occasionally occurs after oclacitinib dose reduction in dogs with atopic dermatitis (AD). Objectives – To determine whether an initial 4‐day course of prednisolone decreases the probability of a pruritus rebound after reducing the frequency of oclacitinib administration.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolation from dog grooming products used by private owners or by professional pet grooming salons: prevalence and risk factors

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 316-e73, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most commonly isolated bacterium from skin lesions of dogs with post‐grooming furunculosis (PGF). It is frequently found in human hair and skin care products, and may pose a health risk to consumers. Information regarding the prevalence of P. aeruginosa contamination of dog grooming products is lacking.

Can regional policies shape migration flows?

Papers in Regional Science, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 515-536, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Our empirical analysis focuses on the effect of regional policies on migration attraction factors in Europe. We employ a regression discontinuity design to assess the causal relationship between the reception of large amounts of public funds and migration flows in the EU‐15 regions. In highly‐subsidised regions, we find a large increase in the

A note on Bapat's q-permanent conjecture

, 2020
Ravindra Bapat conjectured the q -permanent of a non-diagonal Hermitian positive definite matrix is a strictly increasing (in q ) interpolation between the determinant (q = −1) and the permanent (q = 1).

An elementary proof of Chollet’s permanent conjecture for 4 × 4 real matrices

Special Matrices, 2021
A proof of the statement per(A ∘ B) ≤ per(A)per(B) is given for 4 × 4 positive semidefinite real matrices. The proof uses only elementary linear algebra and a rather lengthy series of simple inequalities.
