Análisis de una reforma fiscal ambiental para España con devoluciones para todos los hogares
(Papeles De Economía Española, 2018)In recent years, various international organizations have pointed out the importance of boosting energy-environmental taxation in Spain given its limited use today. In this paper we propose and analyze a reform or environmental ... -
Análisis de una reforma fiscal ambiental para España con devoluciones para todos los hogares. Papeles de Economía Española,
(Papeles de Economía Española, 2018-02-01)En los últimos años diversos organismos internacionales han señalado la importancia de potenciar la fiscalidad energético-ambiental en España dado su reducido uso en la actualidad. En este trabajo proponemos y analizamos ... -
Annealing studies combined with low temperature emission Mössbauer spectroscopy of short-lived parent isotopes: Determination of local Debye–Waller factors
(American Institute of Physics, 2021-01)An extension of the online implantation chamber used for emission Mossbauer Spectroscopy (eMS) at ISOLDE/CERN that allows for quick removal of samples for offline low temperature studies is briefly described. We demonstrate ... -
Anomalous High‐Temperature Superconductivity in YH6
(Wiley-VCH GmbH, 2021-03-10)Pressure‐stabilized hydrides are a new rapidly growing class of high‐temperature superconductors, which is believed to be described within the conventional phonon‐mediated mechanism of coupling. Here, the synthesis of one ... -
Antibacterial Activity Testing Methods for Hydrophobic Patterned Surfaces
(Nature, 2021-03-23)One strategy to decrease the incidence of hospital-acquired infections is to avoid the survival of pathogens in the environment by the development of surfaces with antimicrobial activity. To study the antibacterial behaviour ... -
Antibacterial Coatings for Improving the Performance of Biomaterials
(MDPI, 2020-02-04)Biomedical devices have become essential in the health care. Every day, an enormous number of these devices are used or implanted in humans. In this context, the bacterial contamination that could be developed in implanted ... -
Application Dependent End-of-Life Threshold Definition Methodology for Batteries in Electric Vehicles
(MDPI, 2021-02-11)The end-of-life event of the battery system of an electric vehicle is defined by a fixed end-of-life threshold value. However, this kind of end-of-life threshold does not capture the application and battery characteristics ... -
Application of a Biological Multilevel Response Approach in the Copepod Acartia Tonsa for Toxicity Testing of Three Oil Water Accommodated Fractions
(Elsevier, 2021-06-01)Abstract Copepods play a critical role in the marine food webs, being a food source for marine organisms. In this study, we investigated the toxic effects of Water Accommodated Fractions (WAFs) from three types of oil: ... -
Applying fault tree analysis to biological invasions identifies optimal targets for effective biosecurity
(Journal of Applied Ecology, 2022-10-01)The management of invasive species requires analytical tools that can synthesise the increasing and complex information generated through risk assessment protocols. To that end, fault tree analysis (FTA) provides a means ... -
Approximating the influence coefficients of non-planar elastic solids for conformal contact analysis
(Elsevier, 2021-02)The exact contact theory is an efficient alternative to the more general yet computationally expensive Finite Element Method for the detailed study of elastostatic contact problems. For its application in conformal contact ... -
Are environmental risk factors for current wheeze in the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) phase three due to reverse causation?
(Wiley, 2019-04)Background: Phase Three of the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) measured the global prevalence of symptoms of asthma in children. We undertook comprehensive analyses addressing risk factors ... -
Are local climate adaptation policies credible? A conceptual and operational assessment framework
(Taylor and Francis, 2019)After the Paris Agreement that put stronger emphasis on the development of climate change adaptation policies and on the definition of financing mechanisms, there is a patent need to track whether actual planning efforts ... -
Are protected areas covering important biodiversity sites? An assessment of the nature protection network in Sicily (Italy)
(Land Use Policy, 2018-11-01)GIS spatial analysis of three indicators (vegetation value, faunal richness and landscape heterogeneity) was used to detect and map High-Value Biodiversity Areas (HVBAs), estimate the coverage of biodiversity in the Sicilian ... -
Are there gender differences in household carbon footprints? Evidence from Spain
(Ecological Economics, 2024-05-01)Identifying the main drivers of the household carbon footprint (HCF) is a priority to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and move towards a more sustainable economy. Among the multiple factors that explain the HCF, some ... -
Are we on the right path? Measuring progress towards environmental sustainability in European countries
(Sustainability Science, 2022-01-01)Current environmental and sustainable development metrics fail to capture environmental sustainability from a strong sustainability perspective, which can lead to misleading messages around the urgency to reduce environmental ... -
Artificial Life in Quantum Technologies
(Nature Publishing, 2016-02-08)We develop a quantum information protocol that models the biological behaviours of individuals living in a natural selection scenario. The artificially engineered evolution of the quantum living units shows the fundamental ... -
