Despite tremendous progress in the understanding and management of hypertension, control of elevated blood pressure (BP) in the general hypertensive population remains unsatisfactory, with only an approximate one third of patients 1 achieving the recommended BP goals. Consequently, cardiovascular risk as a result of target organ damage, notably in the heart, kidneys and brain remain high among ...

Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most serious and most frequent eye diseases in the world and the most common cause of blindness in adults between 20 and 60 years of age. Following 15 years of diabetes, about 2% of the diabetic patients are blind and 10% suffer from vision impairment due to DR complications. This paper addresses the automatic detection of microaneurysms (MA...

A new rapid, very simple and one-step sol-gel strategy for the large-scale preparation of highly porous γ-Al₂O₃ is presented. The resulting mesoporous alumina materials feature high surface areas (400 m² g-1), large pore volumes (0.8 mL g-1) and the γ-Al₂O₃ phase is obtained at low temperature (500 °C). The main advantages and drawbacks of different preparations of mesoporous alumina materials ...

Nanocomposites of ordered mesoporous carbon associated with chromium nitride (CrN) or vanadium nitride (VN) nanoparticles were obtained by a simple one-pot synthesis based on the solvent evaporation induced self-assembly (EISA) process using Pluronic triblock surfactant as soft-template and a phenol-based resin (resol) as carbon precursor. These nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffra...

The present study attempts to incorporate methacrylate-based polymers into ordered lamellar organic/inorganic nanocomposite films composed of alternating SiO2/polymer layers. The films are prepared by dip-coating from a solution containing the monomers and silica precursors, thus leading to composite lamellar mesostructured materials through evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA). A polymeriz...

A Kriminológia MA című könyv elsősorban a Nemzeti Közszolgálati Egyetem Rendészettudományi Karán folyó mesterképzések hallgatói számára készült és kriminológia néhány fontos témakörét járja körül legaktuálisabb nemzetközi hazai kutatások tapasztalatok leírásával. Tematikája lefedi többek között bűnmegelőzési stratégiák, az építészeti bűnmegelőzés, gyermekbarát igazságszolgáltatás, valamint drog...
