Poly(ionic liquid)-based engineered mixed matrix membranes for CO2/H2 separation
(Elsevier, 2019-04-06)
Poly(ionic liquid)s (PIL) have emerged as a class of versatile polyelectrolites, that can be used to prepare new materials able to achieve superior performances compared to conventional polymers. The combination of PILs ...
Homelessness and self-rated health: evidence from a national survey of homeless people in Spain
(BMC, 2019-08-10)
Background: Internationally, acute homelessness is commonly associated with complex health and social care needs. While homelessness can be understood as an outcome of structural housing exclusion requiring housing led ...
Progress toward Equitably Managed Protected Areas in Aichi Target 11: A Global Survey
(Oxford University Press, 2019-03)
The Convention on Biological Diversity Aichi Target 11 requires its 193 signatory parties to incorporate social equity into protected area (PA) management by 2020. However, there is limited evidence of progress toward this ...
Non-invasive diagnosis of viability in seeds and lichens by infrared thermography under controlled environmental conditions
(BMC, 2019-12)
Background: Non-invasive procedures for the diagnosis of viability of plant or fungal tissues would be valuable for scientific, industrial and biomonitoring purposes. Previous studies showed that infrared thermography (IRT) ...
Graphene as Vehicle for Ultrafast Lithium Ion Capacitor Development Based on Recycled Olive Pit Derived Carbons
(Electrochemical Society, 2019-08-21)
Herein we report a series of lithium ion capacitors (LICs) with extraordinary energy-to-power ratios based on olive pit recycled carbons and supported on graphene as a conducting matrix. LICs typically present limited ...
Unprecedented Multicomponent Organocatalytic Synthesis of Propargylic Esters via CO2 Activation
(Wiley‐VCH, 2019-02-19)
An efficient and straightforward organocatalytic method for the
direct, multicomponent carboxylation of terminal alkynes with
CO2 and organochlorides, towards propargylic esters, is reported
for the first time. ...
An umpolung strategy to react catalytic enols with nucleophiles
(Nature, 2019-11-20)
The selective synthesis of a-functionalized ketones with two similar enolizable positions can be accomplished using allylic alcohols and iridium(III) catalysts. A formal 1,3-hydrogen shift on allylic alcohols generates ...
Organocatalyzed Polymerization of PET-mb-poly(oxyhexane) Copolymers and Their Self-Assembly into Double Crystalline Superstructures
(ACS Publications, 2019-08-30)
Double crystalline multi-block copolymers exhibit two well-defined melting temperatures associated with the two phases formed by their constituent blocks. The crystalline superstructure formed in these copolymers is complex ...
Indoor Crowd 3D Localization in Big Buildings from Wi-Fi Access Anonymous Data
(MDPI, 2019-09-27)
Indoor crowd localization and counting in big public buildings pose problems of infrastructure deployment, signal processing, and privacy. Conventional approaches based on optical cameras, either in the visible or infrared ...
Experimental validation of a mathematical model for the evolution of the particle morphology of waterborne polymer-polymer hybrids: paving the way to the design and implementation of optimal polymerization strategies
(Elsevier, 2019-01-23)
Polymer-polymer composite nanoparticles allow both the improvement of the performance in stablished applications of waterborne polymer dispersions and targeting new applications that are out of reach of currently available ...
