The Role of Premorbid IQ and Age of Onset as Useful Predictors of Clinical, Functional Outcomes, and Recovery of Individuals with a First Episode of Psychosis
(MDPI, 2021-06-02)
Background: premorbid IQ (pIQ) and age of onset are predictors of clinical severity and long-term functioning after a first episode of psychosis. However, the additive influence of these variables on clinical, functional, ...
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 ...
Nucleation of poly(lactide) partially wet droplets in ternary blends with poly(butylene succinate) and poly(ε-caprolactone)
(ACS, 2020-02-25)
This work presents the first investigation on the crystallization behavior of partially wet droplets in immiscible ternary blends. Poly(lactide), poly(ε-caprolactone), and poly(butylene succinate) (PLA, PCL, and PBS, ...
Controlling the Isothermal Crystallization of Isodimorphic PBS-ran-PCL Random Copolymers by Varying Composition and Supercooling
(MDPI, 2019-12-20)
In this work, we study for the first time, the isothermal crystallization behavior of isodimorphic random poly(butylene succinate)-ran-poly(ε-caprolactone) copolyesters, PBS-ran-PCL, previously synthesized by us. We perform ...
Recent Applications of the Successive Self-nucleation and Annealing (SSA) Thermal Fractionation Technique
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2022-09-28)
Successive Self-nucleation and Annealing (SSA) is a thermal fractionation technique that is performed by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The combination of non-isothermal and isothermal steps applied during SSA ...
3D Printable and Biocompatible Iongels for Body Sensor Applications
(Wiley, 2021-08)
Soft-ionic materials with biocompatibility and 3D printability are needed to develop next-generation devices to interface between electronic and biological signals. Herein, thermoreversible and biocompatible ionic liquid ...
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 ...
Full-Speed Range Control of a Symmetrical Six-Phase Automotive IPMSM Drive with a Cascaded DC-link Configuration
(IEEE, 2023-03-13)
This work considers the utilization of a symmetrical six-phase interior permanent magnet synchronous machine drive, including a cascaded dc-link configuration, to make up an electric vehicle propulsion system. This way, ...
Ensuring a just energy transition: A distributional analysis of diesel tax reform in Spain with stakeholder engagement
(Energy Policy, 2023)
Despite the consensus that green taxation is an effective way to accelerate the decarbonization of economies, few countries are implementing ambitious tax reforms. This is the case of diesel for transport in Spain. The ...
How does management affect soil C sequestration and greenhouse gas fluxes in boreal and temperate forests? – A review
(Forest Ecology and Management, 2023)
The global forest carbon (C) stock is estimated at 662 Gt of which 45% is in soil organic matter. Thus, comprehensive understanding of the effects of forest management practices on forest soil C stock and greenhouse gas ...
