Effects of historical land-use change in the Mediterranean environment
(Science of the Total Environment, 2020-08-25)During the Holocene (last ~11,700 years), societies have continuously modified the landscape of the Mediterranean Basin through changes in land-use, exerting extraordinary pressures onto the environment and adding variability ... -
Efficient Gate-tunable light-emitting device made of defective boron nitride nanotubes: from ultraviolet to the visible
(Nature Publishing Group, 2013-09)Boron nitride is a promising material for nanotechnology applications due to its two-dimensional graphene-like, insulating, and highly-resistant structure. Recently it has received a lot of attention as a substrate to grow ... -
Elastic and Thermoreversible Iongels by Supramolecular PVA/Phenol Interactions
(Wiley, 2020-06-28)Iongels have attracted much attention over the years as ion-conducting soft materials for applications in several technologies including stimuli-responsive drug release and flexible (bio)electronics. Nowadays, iongels with ... -
Electrical Percolation in Extrinsically Conducting, Poly(εpsilon-Decalactone) Composite Neural Interface Materials
(Nature, 2021-01-14)By providing a bidirectional communication channel between neural tissues and a biomedical device, it is envisaged that neural interfaces will be fundamental in the future diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders. ... -
Electron-phonon-driven three-dimensional metallicity in an insulating cuprate
(National Academy of Sciences, 2020-03-24)The role of the crystal lattice for the electronic properties of cuprates and other high-temperature superconductors remains controversial despite decades of theoretical and experimental efforts. While the paradigm of ... -
Electronic Decoupling of Polyacenes from the Underlying Metal Substrate bysp(3)Carbon Atoms
(Nature, 2020-09-15)Many organic molecules exhibit interesting electronic and magnetic properties, but as they are deposited onto a metallic substrate, their hybridisation often impacts on the observed characteristics. Here, the authors report ... -
Elevated CO2 did not affect the hydrological balance of a mature native Eucalyptus woodland
(John Wiley and Sons, 2018)Elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration (eCa) might reduce forest water-use, due to decreased transpiration, following partial stomatal closure, thus enhancing water-use efficiency and productivity at low water availability. ... -
Elucidating the Facet-dependent Selectivity for CO2 Electroreduction to Ethanol of Cu-Ag Tandem Catalysts
(ACS, 2021-04-07)Despite being desirable high-value products of the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR), alcohols are still obtained with lower selectivity compared to hydrocarbons and the reaction pathways leading to their ... -
Emergence of new knowledge for climate change adaptation
(Elsevier, 2018)Decision-making for climate change adaptation requires an integrated and cross-sectoral approach to adequately capture the complexity of interconnected systems. More meaningful decisions can be taken in an arena where ... -
Emerging Ionic Soft Materials based on Deep Eutectic Solvents
(ACS, 2020-07-21)In the last five years, the use of deep eutectic solvents (DES) have been opening new perspectives towards the creation of novel ionic soft materials as alternatives to expensive ionic liquids. This Mini-Review highlights ... -
Emotion Detection from Speech and Text
(International Speech Communication Association, 2018-11-21)The main goal of this work is to carry out automatic emo-tion detection from speech by using both acoustic and textualinformation. For doing that a set of audios were extracted froma TV show were different guests discuss ... -
EMPATHIC: Empathic, Expressive, Advanced Virtual Coach to Improve Independent Healthy-Life-Years of the Elderly
(Sociedad Española para el Procesamiento del Lenguaje Natural, 2018-09)The EMPATHIC project will research, innovate, explore and validatenew paradigms and platforms, laying the foundation for future generations of Per-sonalised Virtual Coaches to assist elderly people living independently ... -
Empirical and dynamic approaches for modelling the yield and N content of European grasslands
(Elsevier, 2019)We applied two approaches to model grassland yield and nitrogen (N) content. The first was a series of regression equations; the second was the Century dynamic model. The regression model was generated from data from ... -
Empirical Doppler Characterization of Signals Scattered by Wind Turbines in the UHF Band under Near Field Condition
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013)Time variability of the scattering signals from wind turbines may lead to degradation problems on the communication systems provided in the UHF band, especially under near field condition. In order to analyze the variability ... -
Enantioselective Ring-Opening Polymerization of rac-Lactide Dictated by Densely Substituted Aminoacids
(ACS, 2017-03-08)Organocatalysis is becoming an important tool in polymer science because of its versatility and specificity. To date a limited number of organic catalysts have demonstrated the ability to promote stereocontrolled ... -
Endogenous Fishing Mortalities: a State-Space Bioeconomic Model
(Oxford University Press, 2017-05-13)A methodology that endogenously determines catchability functions that link fi shing mortality with contemporaneous stock abundance is presented. We consider a stochastic age-structured model for a fishery composed by ... -
ENER-BI: Integrating Energy and Spatial Data for Cities’ Decarbonisation Planning
(MDPI, 2021-01-04)Given the current climate emergency, our planet is suffering. Mitigation measures must be urgently deployed in urban environments, which are responsible for more than 70% of global CO2 emissions. In this sense, a deeper ... -
