Octopus, a computational framework for exploring light-driven phenomena and quantum dynamics in extended and finite system
(American Institute of Physics, 2020)Over the last few years, extraordinary advances in experimental and theoretical tools have allowed us to monitor and control matter at short time and atomic scales with a high degree of precision. An appealing and challenging ... -
Off-stage ecosystem service burdens: A blind spot for global sustainability
(IOP Publishing, 2017-07)The connected nature of social-ecological systems has never been more apparent than in today's globalized world. The ecosystem service framework and associated ecosystem assessments aim to better inform the science-policy ... -
Omega-3 Fatty Acid Intake during Pregnancy and Child Neuropsychological Development: A Multi-Centre Population-Based Birth Cohort Study in Spain
(MDPI, 2022-02-25)Background: There are few studies that look at the intake of all types of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) during the different stages of pregnancy along with a long-term neuropsychological follow-up of the ... -
On Nonlinear Model Predictive Control for Energy-Efficient Torque-Vectoring
(IEEE-Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2021-01)A recently growing literature discusses the topics of direct yaw moment control based on model predictive control (MPC), and energy-efficient torque-vectoring (TV) for electric vehicles with multiple powertrains. To reduce ... -
On the non-proportionality between wheel/rail contact forces and speed during wheelset passage over specific welds
(Elsevier, 2018-01)This study investigates the influence on the wheel-rail contact forces of the running speed and the shape and position of weld defects along the track. For this purpose, a vertical dynamic model in the space domain is used. ... -
On the pyrolysis of different microalgae species in a conical spouted bed reactor: Bio-fuel yields and characterization
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-05-20)The aim of this work was to study fast pyrolysis of three microalgae species in a continuous bench-scale conical spouted bed reactor at 500 °C. Bio-gas, bio-oil and bio-char yields have been determined and characterized ... -
On the use of multicriteria decision analysis to formally integrate community values into ecosystem‐based freshwater management
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2018-12-05)Freshwater ecosystems are essential to peoples' economic, cultural, and social well-being, yet are still among the most threatened ecosystems on the planet. Consequently, a plethora of recent regulations and policies seek ... -
On-demand generation and removal of alginate biocompatible microvalves for flow control in microfluidics
(Elsevier, 2016-10-29)[EN] This paper describes, for the first time, the use of alginate hydrogels as miniaturised microvalves within microfluidic devices. These biocompatible and biodegradable microvalves are generated in situ and on demand, ... -
On-Line Monitoring of Blind Fastener Installation Process
(MDPI, 2019-04-01)Blind fasteners are of special interest for aircraft construction since they allow working on joints where only one side is accessible, as is the case in many common aerospace box-type structures, such as stabilizers and ... -
One-dimensional flat bands in twisted bilayer germanium selenide
(Nature Publishing, 2020-02-28)Experimental advances in the fabrication and characterization of few-layer materials stacked at a relative twist of small angle have recently shown the emergence of flat energy bands. As a consequence electron interactions ... -
One-Pot Synthesis of Waterborne Polymeric Dispersions Stabilized with Alkali-Soluble Resins
(MDPI, 2018-01)Alkali-soluble resins (ASRs) are a type of electrosteric emulsifiers of high interest because they can profitably improve the features of waterborne dispersions. In this work, they have been synthesized in-situ through a ... -
Online psycho-education to the treatment of bipolar disorder: protocol of a randomized controlled trial
(Biomed Central, 2016-12-22)Background: Bipolar disorder patients frequently present recurrent episodes and often experience subsyndromal symptoms, cognitive impairment and difficulties in functioning, with a low quality of life, illness relapses and ... -
Operationalizing risk-based cumulative effect assessments in the marine environment
(SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT, 2020)Ecosystem-based management requires an assessment of the cumulative effects of human pressures and environmental change. The operationalization and integration of cumulative effects assessments (CEA) into decision-making ... -
Opportunities for organocatalysis in polymer synthesis via step-growth methods
(Elservier, 2019-03-14)Organocatalysis has emerged as an invaluable tool for polymer synthesis and has already demonstrated versatility for replacing organometallic catalysts in many polymerization reactions. The overall ease of removal and lower ... -
Opposite Alterations of 5¬HT2A Receptor Brain Density in Subjects with Schizophrenia: Relevance of Radiotracers Pharmacological Profile
