The possibility to exploit renewable sources for the production of bulk chemicals is attractive and bio-ethanol has been recently proposed as platform to produce hydrogen via steam reforming and bio-ethylene by dehydration. Another compound with huge industrial applications is ethylene oxide, which may be in principle obtained in two steps...

A novel route for the direct one-pot oxidation of ethanol to ethylene oxide has been designed and scaled-up into a full process: this is the very first design of an innovative one-step conversion route from bioethanol to ethylene oxide. Starting from the review and interpolation of reaction kinetics, a staged, cooled reactor is sized for the...

Objectives: To assess the outcome of a dual regimen combining darunavir/ritonavir plus etravirine in a cohort of antiretroviral therapy (ART)-experienced patients. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on all ART-experienced patients starting a darunavir/ritonavir plus etravirine regimen at the 3 clinics. Patients were stratified...

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors that can influence an incomplete viral response (IVR) after acute and early HIV infection (AEHI). Methods: This was a retrospective, observational study including patients with AEHI (Fiebig stages I–V) diagnosed between January 2008 and December 2014 at 20 Italian centres. IVR was...
