A calibration report for wireless sensor-based weatherboards
(MDPI, 2015)
Sub-Saharan Africa contains the highest number of people affected by droughts. Although this can easily be mitigated through the provision of timely, reliable and relevant weather forecasts, the sparse network of weather ...
Identification of new respiratory viruses in the new millennium
(MDPI, 2015)
The rapid advancement of molecular tools in the past 15 years has allowed for the retrospective discovery of several new respiratory viruses as well as the characterization of novel emergent strains. The inability to ...
Potential broad spectrum inhibitors of the coronavirus 3CLpro: a virtual screening and structure-based drug design study
(MDPI, 2015)
Human coronaviruses represent a significant disease burden; however, there is currently no antiviral strategy to combat infection. The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2003 and Middle East respiratory ...
Acylphloroglucinol derivatives from the South African helichrysum niveum and their biological activities
(MDPI, 2015)
Abstract: Phytochemical investigation of aerial parts of Helichrysum niveum (H. niveum)
using different chromatographic methods including semi-preparative HPLC afforded three
new (1–3) and six known (4–10) acylphloroglucinols ...
Inhibition of oxidative stress and skin aging-related enzymes by prenylated chalcones and other flavonoids from helichrysum teretifolium
(MDPI, 2015)
Ten flavonoid-related structures viz. heliteretifolin (1), isoxanthohumol (2),
2',4',6'-trihydroxy-3'-prenylchalcone (3), isoglabranin (4), glabranin (5), 7-methoxyisoglabranin
(6), quercetin (7), 4'-methoxyquercetin ...

On the design of smart parking networks in the smart cities: an optimal sensor placement model
(MDPI, 2015)
Smart parking is a typical IoT application that can benefit from advances in
sensor, actuator and RFID technologies to provide many services to its users and parking
owners of a smart city. This paper considers a smart ...
Testing of eight medicinal plant extracts in combination with kresoxim-methyl for integrated control of botrytis cinerea in apples
(MDPI, 2015)
Botrytis cinerea is a fungus that causes gray mold on many fruit crops. Despite
the availability of a large number of botryticides, the chemical control of gray mold has
been hindered by the emergence of resistant strains. ...
A fumonisins immunosensor based on polyanilino-carbon nanotubes doped with palladium telluride quantum dots
(MDPI, 2015)
An impedimetric immunosensor for fumonisins was developed based on
poly(2,5-dimethoxyaniline)-multi-wall carbon nanotubes doped with palladium telluride
quantum dots onto a glassy carbon surface. The composite was assembled ...
Application on gold nanoparticles-dotted 4-nitrophenylazo graphene in a label-free impedimetric deoxynivalenol immunosensor
(MDPI, 2015)
In this paper, we report a new concept to construct a label-free electrochemical
inhibition-based immunosensor for the detection of the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON)
in cereal samples. The electrochemical impedance ...
