Enhanced Antibacterial Activity of Dermaseptin through Its Immobilization on Alginate Nanoparticles-Effects of Menthol and Lactic Acid on Its Potentialization

Noura Hazime, Yanath Belguesmia, Alexandr Barras, Mohamed Amiche, Rabah Boukherroub, Djamel Drider

Dermaseptin B2 (DRS-B2) is an antimicrobial peptide secreted by Phyllomedusa bicolor, which is an Amazonian tree frog. Here, we show that the adsorption of DRS-B2 on alginate nanoparticles (Alg NPs) results in a formulation (Alg NPs + DRS-B2) with a remarkable antibacterial activity against…

[Review] The role of the surface ligand on the performance of electrochemical SARS-CoV-2 antigen biosensors

Sabine Szunerits, Quentin Pagneux, Abir Swaidan, Vladyslav Mishyn, Alain Roussel, Christian Cambillau, David Devos, Ilka Engelmann, Enagnon Kazali Alidjinou, Henri Happy, Rabah Boukherroub

Point-of-care (POC) technologies and testing programs hold great potential to significantly improve diagnosis and disease surveillance. POC tests have the intrinsic advantage of being able to be performed near the patient or treatment facility, owing to their portable character. With rapid results…

Unsupervised deep learning to solve power allocation problems in cognitive relay networks

Yacine Benatia, Anne Savard, Romain Negrel, Elena Veronica Belmega

In this paper, an unsupervised deep learning approach is proposed to solve the constrained and non-convex Shannon rate maximization problem in a relay-aided cognitive radio network. This network consists of a primary and a secondary user-destination pair and a secondary full-duplex relay performing…

Synthesis of Cyano-Benzylidene Xanthene Synthons Using a Diprotic Brønsted Acid Catalyst, and Their Application as Efficient Inhibitors of Aluminum Corrosion in Alkaline Solutions

Mohammed Amin, Gaber Mersal, Morad El-Hendawy, Abdallah Shaltout, Ali Badawi, Johan Boman, Adil Gobouri, Murat Saracoglu, Fatma Kandemirli, Rabah Boukherroub, Jacek Ryl, Mohamed Khalifa

Novel cyano-benzylidene xanthene derivatives were synthesized using one-pot and condensation reactions. A diprotic Brønsted acid (i.e., oxalic acid) was used as an effective catalyst for the promotion of the synthesis process of the new starting xanthene–aldehyde compound. Different xanthene…

Sub-nanosecond pulse technology applied to millimetre wave systems for TDoA-based geolocalization

Christophe Loyez, Michael Bocquet, Nathalie Rolland, Kamel Haddadi

This study deals with a geolocation system that uses sub-nanosecond pulsed radio signals. Based on Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA), it allows the localization of 60-GHz transmitters in an indoor environment with an accuracy compatible with the requirements of the next generation of communicating…
