(IEEE, 2019)Decoding emotional states from multimodal signals is an increasingly active domain, within the framework of affective computing, which aims to a better understanding of Human-Human Communication as well as to improve Human- ... -
Candida parapsilosis Colony Morphotype Forecasts Biofilm Formation of Clinical Isolates
(MDPI, 2021-01-07)Candida parapsilosis is a frequent cause of fungal bloodstream infections, especially in critically ill neonates or immunocompromised patients. Due to the formation of biofilms, the use of indwelling catheters and other ... -
Cannabinoid Control of Olfactory Processes: The Where Matters
(MDPI, 2020-04-16)Olfaction has a direct influence on behavior and cognitive processes. There are different neuromodulatory systems in olfactory circuits that control the sensory information flowing through the rest of the brain. The presence ... -
Carbon footprint, municipality size and rurality in Spain: Inequality and carbon taxation
(Elsevier, 2020)By using an environmentally extended multi-regional input-output model, this paper analyses the Spanish households carbon footprint for the 2008 2017 period considering the municipality size as well as the urban or rural ... -
Carbon Nanomaterials Embedded in Conductive Polymers: A State of the Art
(MDPI, 2021-02-27)Carbon nanomaterials are at the forefront of the newest technologies of the third millennium, and together with conductive polymers, represent a vast area of indispensable knowledge for developing the devices of tomorrow. ... -
Carbon-nitrogen interactions in European forests and semi-natural vegetation - Part 1: Fluxes and budgets of carbon, nitrogen and greenhouse gases from ecosystem monitoring and modelling
(Biogeosciences, 2020)The impact of atmospheric reactive nitrogen (Nr) deposition on carbon (C) sequestration in soils and biomass of unfertilized, natural, semi-natural and forest ecosystems has been much debated. Many previous results of this ... -
Case Study to Illustrate the Potential of Conformal Cooling Channels for Hot Stamping Dies Manufactured Using Hybrid Process of Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) and Milling
(MDPI, 2018-02)Hot stamping dies include cooling channels to treat the formed sheet. The optimum cooling channels of dies and molds should adapt to the shape and surface of the dies, so that a homogeneous temperature distribution and ... -
Catalysis of a 1,3-dipolar reaction by distorted DNA incorporating a heterobimetallic platinum(II) and copper(II) complex
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017-08-11)A novel catalytic system based on covalently modified DNA is described. This catalyst promotes 1,3-dipolar reactions between azomethine ylides and maleimides. The catalytic system is based on the distortion of the double ... -
Catalytic steam reforming of biomass fast pyrolysis volatiles over Ni-Co bimetallic catalysts
(Elsevier, 2020-08-11)[EN] The influence of the metal selected as catalytic active phase in the two-step biomass pyrolysis-catalytic reforming strategy has been analyzed. The pyrolysis step was carried out in a conical spouted bed reactor at ... -
Catechol-containing acrylic Poly(ionic liquid) Hydrogels as Bioinspired Filters for Water Decontamination
(ACS, 2019-06-13)Mussel inspired catechol containing materials have currently drawn great attention as biomaterials, adhesives, surface coating and in bioelectronics, among other applications. In this work, we mimicked the ability of mussels ... -
Cation Effect in the Corrosion Inhibition Properties of Coumarate Ionic Liquids and Acrylic UV-Coatings
(MDPI, 2020-11-06)Chromate free corrosion inhibitors are searched for to mitigate the economic loss caused by mid-steel corrosion. Here, we show metal-free organic inhibitors having free coumarate anions that can be used either as direct ... -
Cells, Materials, and Fabrication Processes for Cardiac Tissue Engineering
