Detection of Sarcasm and Nastiness: New Resources for Spanish Language
(Springer, 2018-06-29)The main goal of this work is to provide the cognitive computing community with valuable resources to analyze and simulate the intentionality and/or emotions embedded in the language employed in social media. Specifically, ... -
Determining discount rates for the evaluation of natural assets in land-use planning: An application of the Equivalency Principle
(Elsevier, 2019)One of the most pressing issues when making decisions over long-term environmental problems is deciding on an appropriate discount rate. This can be a highly technical discussion. While some argue in favour of market rates, ... -
Development and external validation of a faecal immunochemical test-based prediction model for colorectal cancer detection in symptomatic patients
(Biomed Central, 2016-08-31)Background: Risk prediction models for colorectal cancer (CRC) detection in symptomatic patients based on available biomarkers may improve CRC diagnosis. Our aim was to develop, compare with the NICE referral criteria and ... -
Differential Cellular Responses to Adhesive Interactions with Galectin-8 and Fibronectin Coated Substrates
(The Company of Biologists, 2021-04-27)The mechanisms underlying the cellular response to extracellular matrices (ECM), consisting of multiple adhesive ligands, are still poorly understood. Here we address this topic by monitoring the differential cellular ... -
‘Digital pills’ for mental diseases: an ethical and social analysis of the issues behind the concept
(Oxford University Press, 2020-07-27)Recently, the US Food and Drug Administration has given a landmark approval to the very first digital pill with a sensor embedded in the inside. These are complex systems that include a drug and an electronic tracker that ... -
Digital Quantum Rabi and Dicke Models in Superconducting Circuits
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014-12-15)We propose the analog-digital quantum simulation of the quantum Rabi and Dicke models using circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED). We find that all physical regimes, in particular those which are impossible to realize in ... -
Digital Quantum Simulation of Spin Models with Circuit Quantum Electrodynamics
(American Physical Society, 2015-06-17)Systems of interacting quantum spins show a rich spectrum of quantum phases and display interesting many-body dynamics. Computing characteristics of even small systems on conventional computers poses significant challenges. ... -
Dimerization Effects and Negative Strain Energy in Silicon Monosulfide Nanotubes
(MDPI, 2023-11-27)We report on the construction and characterization of silicon monosulfide nanotubes that were obtained by rolling up two-dimensional materials isoelectronic to phosphorene in the recently discovered layered Pmma and 𝛽 ... -
Direct Ink Writing of PEDOT Eutectogels as Substrate-free Dry Electrodes for Electromyography
(RSC, 2023-04-10)Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are a new class of ionic conductive compounds attracting significant attention as greener alternatives to costly ionic liquids. Herein, we developed novel mixed ionic-electronic conducting ... -
Direct Relationship between Dispersion and Crystallization Behavior in Poly(ethylene oxide)/Poly(ethylene glycol)-g-Silica Nanocomposites
(American Chemical Society, 2021-02-08)The inclusion of polymer-grafted nanoparticles (PGNPs) can impart various functional properties to polymer nanocomposites (PNCs). For semicrystalline polymers, we can control the spatial dispersion of PGNPs and presumably ... -
(Dis) integrated valuation – Assessing the information gaps in ecosystem service appraisals for governance support
(Ecosystem Services, 2018)The operational challenges of integrated ecosystem service (ES) appraisals are determined by study purpose, system complexity and uncertainty, decision-makers requirements for reliability and accuracy of methods, and ... -
Distance decay 2.0 – A global synthesis of taxonomic and functional turnover in ecological communities
(Wiley, 2022-07)Aim: Understanding the variation in community composition and species abundances (i.e., beta-diversity) is at the heart of community ecology. A common approach to examine beta-diversity is to evaluate directional variation ... -
Diversity of winter photoinhibitory responses: a case study in co-occurring lichens, mosses, herbs and woody plants from subalpine environments
(Wiley, 2017-02-14)Winter evergreens living in mountainous areas have to withstand a harsh combination of high light levels and low temperatures in wintertime. In response, evergreens can activate a photoprotective process that consists of ... -
DNA metabarcoding and spatial modelling link diet diversification with distribution homogeneity in European bats
(Nature, 2020-03-02)Inferences of the interactions between species' ecological niches and spatial distribution have been historically based on simple metrics such as low-resolution dietary breadth and range size, which might have impeded the ... -
Do we know how urban heritage is being endangered by climate change? A systematic and critical review
(Elsevier, 2021-11)[EN]It is worldwide accepted that climate change is affecting cities and that the conservation of the cultural heritage contributes to sustainable development. However, despite the high level of interest and research in ... -
Dobutamine in Paediatric Population: A Systematic Review in Juvenile Animal Models
(Public Library Science, 2014-04-22)Objective: Although dobutamine is widely used in neonatal clinical practice, the evidence for its use in this specific population is not clear. We conducted a systematic review of the use of dobutamine in juvenile animals ... -
Double accounting in energy footprint and related assessments: How common is it and what are the consequences?
(ENERGY, 2021)The number of input-output assessments focused on energy has grown considerably in the last years. Many of these assessments combine data from multi-regional input-output (MRIO) databases with energy extensions that ... -
