Exploring low-carbon futures: A web service approach to linking diverse climate-energy-economy models
(MDPI, 2019)The use of simulation models is essential when exploring transitions to low-carbon futures and climate change mitigation and adaptation policies. There are many models developed to understand socio-environmental processes ... -
Exposure to green areas: Modelling health benefits in a context of study heterogeneity
(Elsevier, 2020)Although the beneficial health effects of green areas are gaining recognition, epidemiological studies show mixed results with significance varying considerably by study and context, indicating that there is no unique and ... -
Exposure to metals and metalloids among pregnant women from Spain: Levels and associated factors
(Elsevier, 2022-01)[EN] Background: Humans are regularly exposed to metals and metalloids present in air, water, food, soil and domestic materials. Most of them can cross the placental barrier and cause adverse impacts on the developing ... -
Factors affecting energy-efficiency investment in the hotel industry: survey results from Spain
(Energy Efficiency, 2021)Increasing energy efficiency is a major way of saving energy and thus reducing energy expenses. However, adoption of energy efficiency is generally low, as demonstrated by the energy efficiency gap. To understand that gap, ... -
Factors associated with successful dietary changes in an energy-reduced Mediterranean diet intervention: a longitudinal analysis in the PREDIMED-Plus trial
(Springer, 2022)[EN] Purpose Long-term nutrition trials may fail to respond to their original hypotheses if participants do not comply with the intended dietary intervention. We aimed to identify baseline factors associated with successful ... -
Fast successive self-nucleation and annealing (SSA) thermal fractionation protocol for the characterization of polyolefin blends from mechanical recycling
(Wiley, 2022-04-29)The sorting stage of mechanical recycling of post-consumer polyolefins has severe challenges. Polypropylene (PP) is often contaminated with polyethylene (PE) and vice versa. To meet quality requirements, characterization ... -
Fast Visible-Light Photopolymerization in the Presence of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes: Toward 3D Printing Conducting Nanocomposites
(American Chemical Society, 2022-02)[EN] A new photoinitiator system (PIS) based on riboflavin (Rf), triethanolamine, and multiwalled carbon nanobutes (MWCNTs) is presented for visible-light-induced photopolymerization of acrylic monomers. Using this PIS, ... -
Fe/Olivine As Primary Catalyst in the Biomass Steam Gasification in a Fountain Confined Spouted Bed Reactor
(Elsevier, 2021-07-25)The performance of Fe/olivine catalysts was tested in the continuous steam gasification of sawdust in a bench scale plant provided with a fountain confined conical spouted bed reactor at 850 degrees C. Olivine was used as ... -
Financing climate and sustainability policies: The impact of sustainability bonds on the Basque country
(Ekonomiaz, 2020-01-01)Climate finance refers to the flow of financial resources for the fight against climate change and contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The debt market can play an essential role through ... -
First determination of the spin and parity of the charmed-strange baryon Xi(c) (2970)(+)
(American Physical Society, 2021-06-16)We report results from a study of the spin and parity of Xi(c)(2970)(+) using a 980 fb(-1) data sample collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e(+) e(-) collider. The decay angle distributions in the ... -
