Land-use practices (coppices and dehesas) and management intensity modulate responses of Holm oak growth to drought
(Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2023-02-15)Last decades increase in reported events of drought-induced tree mortality evidences how climate-change is transforming forest ecosystems all over the world. The parallel increase in human pressure over the land is also ... -
Landscape-scale modelling of agroforestry ecosystems services in Swiss orchards: a methodological approach
(Springer, 2018)Context: Agroforestry systems in temperate Europe are known to provide both, provisioning and regulating ecosystem services (ES). Yet, it is poorly understood how these systems affect ES provision at a landscape scale in ... -
Language use and attitudes of prospective teachers: A comparison of the Basque and Friulian multilingual contexts
(Taylor & Francis, 2022-12-25)Since educators play a decisive role in the formation of language attitudes, this study analyses perceived competence, habits of language use and attitudes towards three languages in contact harboured by prospective teachers. ... -
Large impact of phonon lineshapes on the superconductivity of solid hydrogen
(Springer Nature, 2024-05-09)Phonon anharmonicity plays a crucial role in determining the stability and vibrational properties of high-pressure hydrides. Furthermore, strong anharmonicity can render phonon quasiparticle picture obsolete questioning ... -
Large variation in the epidemiological transition across countries: is it still valuable as a mortality theory?
(Oxford University Press, 2022-08-10)... -
Large Volume Self-powered Disposable Microfluidics by the Integration of Modular Polymer Micropumps with Plastic Microfluidic Cartridges
(ACS, 2020-12-10)Microfluidic microsystems are often designed to analyse samples of small volume of fluid, however, some applications require the analysis of larger volumes. The ideal miniaturized microfluidic analytical device should be ... -
Large-scale Irrigation Impacts Socio-cultural Values: An Example from Rural Navarre, Spain
(Elsevier, 2019)Large-scale irrigation is a form of agricultural intensification aimed at increasing productivity and adapting to climate change. However, we know little about how large-scale irrigation affects socio-cultural values over ... -
Laser-induced highly oriented pyrolytic graphite for high-performance screen-printed electrodes
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021-09-21)Screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) are enjoying increasing popularity in different electrochemistry areas, from electroanalysis to energy storage and power generation. Highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG), an ... -
Lateral-Acceleration-Based Vehicle-Models-Blending for Automated Driving Controllers
(MDPI, 2020-10-13)settings Open AccessArticle Lateral-Acceleration-Based Vehicle-Models-Blending for Automated Driving Controllers by Jose A. Matute-Peaspan 1,2,* [OrcID] , Mauricio Marcano 1,2 [OrcID] , Sergio Diaz 1 [OrcID] , Asier ... -
Latest Developments in Industrial Hybrid Machine Tools that Combine Additive and Subtractive Operations
(MDPI, 2018-12-18)Hybrid machine tools combining additive and subtractive processes have arisen as a solution to increasing manufacture requirements, boosting the potentials of both technologies, while compensating and minimizing their ... -
Learning Multirobot Hose Transportation and Deployment by Distributed Round-Robin Q-Learning
(Public Library Science, 2015-07-09)Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) algorithms face two main difficulties: the curse of dimensionality, and environment non-stationarity due to the independent learning processes carried out by the agents concurrently. ... -
Learning word order: early beginnings
(Elsevier, 2021-09)We examine the beginning of the acquisition of the relative order of function and content words, a fundamental but cross-linguistically highly variable aspect of grammar. A review of the existing empirical literature shows ... -
Leaves play a central role in the adaptation of nitrogen and sulfur metabolism to ammonium nutrition in oilseed rape ( Brassica napus )
(Biomed Central, 2017-09-20)Background: The coordination between nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) assimilation is required to suitably provide plants with organic compounds essential for their development and growth. The N source induces the adaptation ... -
Legacies of past forest management determine current responses to severe drought events of conifer species in the Romanian Carpathians
(Science of the Total Environment, 2021-01-10)Worldwide increases in droughts- and heat-waves-associated tree mortality events are destabilizing the future of many forests and the ecosystem services they provide. Along with climate, understanding the impact of the ... -
Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment of European beef production systems based on a farm-level optimization model
(Journal of Cleaner Production, 2022)The European Union (EU) is among the largest beef producers in the world. Besides the economic turnover, beef production causes adverse environmental impacts such as climate change. The sector is known for high heterogeneity ... -
Light-Driven Extremely Nonlinear Bulk Photogalvanic Currents
(American Physical Society, 2021-09-13)We predict the generation of bulk photocurrents in materials driven by bichromatic fields that arc circularly polarized and corotating. The nonlinear photocurrents have a fully controllable directionality and amplitude ... -
