(Frontiers Media, 2020-10-30)Intracellular microcolonies of bacteria (IMC), in some cases developing large extracellular cysts (bacterial aggregates), infecting primarily gill and digestive gland, have been historically reported in a wide diversity ... -
Cost-effective restoration and conservation planning in Green and Blue Infrastructure designs. A case study on the Intercontinental Biosphere Reserve of the Mediterranean: Andalusia (Spain) Morocco
(Elsevier, 2019)Green and Blue Infrastructure (GBI) is a network designed and planned to deliver a wide range of ecosystem services and to protect biodiversity. Existing GBI designs lacked a systematic method to allocate restoration zones. ... -
Cost-effective upgrading of biomass pyrolysis oil using activated dolomite as a basic catalyst
(Elsevier B.V., 2019-07-19)This study deals with a continuous process on a calcined dolomite operating at atmospheric pressure and by cofeeding water for cost-effective upgrading of raw bio-oil at 400 °C and 500 °C. The distribution of carbon in ... -
(Counter)mapping renewables: Space, justice, and politics of wind and solar power in Mexico
(Environment and Planning E: Nature and Space, 2022)The ongoing expansion of renewable energies entails major spatial reconfigurations with social, environmental, and political dimensions. These emerging geographies are, however, in the process of taking shape, as their ... -
Coupling circularity performance and climate action: From disciplinary silos to transdisciplinary modelling science
(Sustainable Production and Consumption, 2022)Technological breakthroughs and policy measures targeting energy efficiency and clean energy alone will not suffice to deliver Paris Agreement-compliant greenhouse gas emissions trajectories in the next decades. Strong ... -
Coupling circularity performance and climate action: From disciplinary silos to transdisciplinary modelling science

Creative Chord Sequence Generation for Electronic Dance Music
(MDPI, 2018-09-19)This paper describes the theory and implementation of a digital audio workstation plug-in for chord sequence generation. The plug-in is intended to encourage and inspire a composer of electronic dance music to explore loops ... -
Critical integration in neural and cognitive systems: Beyond power-law scaling as the hallmark of soft assembly
(Elsevier, 2021-04)Inspired by models of self-organized criticality, a family of measures quantifies long-range correlations in neural and behavioral activity in the form of self-similar (e.g., power-law scaled) patterns across a range of ... -
Crystallization and self-nucleation of PLA, PBS and PCL in their immiscible binary and ternary blends
(Elservier, 2019-06-13)Three semicrystalline polyesters, poly(lactic acid), poly(caprolactone) and poly(butylene succinate) (PLA, PCL and PBS) were melt blended to prepare binary and ternary systems of selected compositions. In binary blends ... -
Crystallization Kinetics and Nanoparticle Ordering in Semicrystalline Polymer Nanocomposites
(Elsevier, 2022-03-13)There has been considerable interest in the nucleation and crystallization of polymers in the presence of nanoparticles (NPs, or nanofillers in general, NFs). Most of the extensive work in this area has focused on anisotropic, ... -
