(IEEE-Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2021-03)Owing to increasing consumption of video streams and demand for higher quality content and more advanced displays, future telecommunication networks are expected to outperform current networks in terms of key performance ... -
Prenatal air pollution exposure and growth and cardio-metabolic risk in preschoolers
(Elsevier, 2020-03-16)Objectives: We investigated the association between outdoor air pollutants exposure in the first trimester of pregnancy, and growth and cardio-metabolic risk at four years of age, and evaluated the mediating role of birth ... -
Presentación
(Ekonomiaz: Revista Vasca De Economía, 2020-01-01)El cambio climático es uno de los mayores retos a los que se enfrentan nuestras sociedades. Muchos de los cambios previstos por la ciencia son ya evidentes y el Panel Intergubernamental sobre el Cambio Climático (IPCC, ... -
Probing disorder and dynamics in composite electrolytes of an organic ionic plastic crystal and lithium functionalised acrylic polymer nanoparticles
(Elsevier, 2023-01-20)Solid composite electrolytes combining an ionic molecular phase to facilitate ion transport with a polymeric component to provide mechanical strength are promising material for solid state batteries. However, the ... -
Producing Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids: A Review of Sustainable Sources and Future Trends for the EPA and DHA Market
(MDPI, 2020-11-16)Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (Omega-3 PUFA) are recognized as being essential compounds for human nutrition and health. The human body generates only low levels of Omega-3 PUFA. Conventional sources of Omega-3 PUFA ... -
Production of Docosahexaenoic Acid and Odd-Chain Fatty Acids by Microalgae Schizochytrium limacinum Grown on Waste-Derived Volatile Fatty Acids
(MDPI, 2022-04-14)Heterotrophic microalgae are recognized as a source of bioactive compounds. However, there are still some drawbacks for their use at an industrial scale associated with the high cost of glucose, the main carbon source in ... -
Progress on Catalyst Development for the Steam Reforming of Biomass and Waste Plastics Pyrolysis Volatiles: A Review
(American Chemical Society, 2021-11-04)[EN]n recent decades, the production of H-2 from biomass, waste plastics, and their mixtures has attracted increasing attention in the literature in order to overcome the environmental problems associated with global warming ... -
Progress toward Equitably Managed Protected Areas in Aichi Target 11: A Global Survey
(Oxford University Press, 2019-03)The Convention on Biological Diversity Aichi Target 11 requires its 193 signatory parties to incorporate social equity into protected area (PA) management by 2020. However, there is limited evidence of progress toward this ... -
Promoting energy efficiency at household level: a literature review
(Energy Efficiency, 2021-01-01)The household sector is one of the most energy-intensive sectors in Europe, and thus a focal point for reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with energy consumption. Energy efficiency is considered a key measure to ... -
Promotion of self-nucleation with latent Form I nuclei in polybutene-1 and its copolymer
