The Effect of Providing Monetary Information on Energy Savings for Household Appliances: A Field Trial in Spain
(Journal of Consumer Policy, 2021-06-01)Energy labels are one of the most widely used policies in the European Union for increasing the energy efficiency of household appliances. However, their effectiveness in promoting energy-efficient purchases has sometimes ... -
The effect of the evaporation rate on electrochemical measurements with paper-based analytical devices and its minimisation by enclosure with adhesive tape
(Elsevier, 2019-02-15)In this work, the effect of liquid evaporation on electrochemical measurements with electrochemical paper-based devices (ePADs) is studied. The time evolution of cyclic voltammograms of ferricyanide is used to study the ... -
The Effect of Titanium Dioxide Surface Modification on the Dispersion, Morphology, and Mechanical Properties of Recycled PP/PET/TiO2 PBNANOs
(MDPI, 2019-10-16)Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles have recently appeared in PET waste because of the introduction of opaque PET bottles. We prepare polymer blend nanocomposites (PBNANOs) by adding hydrophilic (hphi), hydrophobic (hpho), ... -
The EMPATHIC Project: Mid-term Achievements
(ACM Digital Library, 2019-08-18)The goal of active aging is to promote changes in the elderly community so as to maintain an active, independent and socially-engaged lifestyle. Technological advancements currently provide the necessary tools to foster ... -
The endocannabinoid system in mental disorders: Evidence from human brain studies
(Elsevier, 2018-07-17)Mental disorders have a high prevalence compared with many other health conditions and are the leading cause of disability worldwide. Several studies performed in the last years support the involvement of the endocannabinoid ... -
The energy requirements of a developed world
(Elsevier, 2016-08)Through history, special attention has been paid to the study of the relationship between the energy use of a country and its level of development. While the interest of this research area is unquestionable, the energy ... -
The EU Horizon 2020 project GRACE: integrated oil spill response actions and environmental effects
(Springer Nature, 2019-07-16)This article introduces the EU Horizon 2020 research project GRACE (Integrated oil spill response actions and environmental effects), which focuses on a holistic approach towards investigating and understanding the hazardous ... -
The Evolution and Changing Ecology of the African Hominid Oral Microbiome
(National Academy of Sciences, 2021-05-18)The oral microbiome plays key roles in human biology, health, and disease, but little is known about the global diversity, variation, or evolution of this microbial community. To better understand the evolution and changing ... -
The Forbidden Quantum Adder
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-07-08)Quantum information provides fundamentally different computational resources than classical information. We prove that there is no unitary protocol able to add unknown quantum states belonging to different Hilbert spaces. ... -
The Friulian language in education in Italy
(Mercator, 2024-03)The Italian State approved Law 482/1999 to protect the many historical linguistic minorities that are present in its territory, including Friulian. Despite emphasising Italian as the official language of the Italian Republic, ... -

The Impact of U.S. Re-engagement in Climate on the Paris Targets
(Earth's Future, 2021)The Paris Agreement seeks to combine international efforts to keep global temperature increase to well-below 2°C. Whilst current ambitions in many signatories are insufficient to achieve this goal, optimism prevailed in ... -
The influence of interfacial interactions on the conductivity and phase behaviour of organic ionic plastic crystal/polymer nanoparticle composite electrolytes
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-02-21)Organic ionic plastic crystals (OIPCs) have been recognised as promising solid-state electrolyte materials for next-generation energy storage devices. Recently, the addition of polymer nanofillers to OIPCs has led to the ... -
The influence of the shape of Au nanoparticles on the catalyticcurrent of fructose dehydrogenase
(Springer, 2019-11)Graphite electrodes were modified with triangular (AuNTrs) or spherical (AuNPs) nanoparticles and further modified with fructose dehydrogenase (FDH). The present study reports the effect of the shape of these nanoparticles ... -
The interactive brain hypothesis
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2012-06)Enactive approaches foreground the role of interpersonal interaction in explanations of social understanding. This motivates, in combination with a recent interest in neuroscientific studies involving actual interactions, ... -
The mito-QC Reporter for Quantitative Mitophagy Assessment in Primary Retinal Ganglion Cells and Experimental Glaucoma Models
(MDPI, 2020-03-10)Mitochondrial damage plays a prominent role in glaucoma. The only way cells can degrade whole mitochondria is via autophagy, in a process called mitophagy. Thus, studying mitophagy in the context of glaucoma is essential ... -
