Marginal Damage of Methane Emissions: Ozone Impacts on Agriculture
(Environmental and Resource Economics, 2023)
Methane directly contributes to air pollution, as an ozone precursor, and to climate change, generating physical and economic damages to different systems, namely agriculture, vegetation, energy, human health, or biodiversity. ...
Social connectivity and adaptive capacity strategies in large-scale fisheries
(Ecology and Society, 2021-01-01)
Large-scale fisheries are important social-ecological systems that are increasingly being threatened by global climate change. Adaptive capacity is key for moving fisheries onto climate resilient pathways, however, ...
From Plastic Waste to New Materials for Energy Storage
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022-07-06)
The use of plastic waste to develop high added value materials, also known as upcycling, is a useful strategy towards the development of more sustainable materials. More specifically, the use of plastic waste as a feedstock ...
KLaF4:Nd3+ doped transparent glass-ceramics processed by spark plasma sintering
(Elsevier, 2022-02-15)
[EN] Transparent oxyfluoride glass-ceramics (GCs) containing KLaF4 nanocrystals (NCs) doped with Nd3+ were prepared by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS). Glass powder pellets were sintered under a vacuum atmosphere, optimizing ...
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. ...
A contact mechanics study of 3D frictional conformal contact
(Elsevier, 2018-03)
A contact mechanics study of three-dimensional conformal contact with friction is presented, based on numerical calculations with Finite Element models and an extension of Kalker's exact contact theory which takes into ...
Characterization and assessment of new fibrillar collagen inks and bioinks for 3D printing and bioprinting
(AccScience Publishing, 2023-03-16)
Collagen is a cornerstone protein for tissue engineering and 3D bioprinting due to its outstanding biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and natural abundance in human tissues. Nonetheless, it still poses some important ...
Interpretation of the Reflectance Spectra of Lithium (Li) Minerals and Pegmatites: A Case Study for Mineralogical and Lithological Identification in the Fregeneda-Almendra Area
(MDPI, 2021-09-15)
Reflectance spectroscopy has been used to identify several deposit types. However, applications concerning lithium (Li)-pegmatites are still scarce. Reflectance spectroscopic studies complemented by microscopic and geochemical ...
Listeners’ Spectral Reallocation Preferences for Speech in Noise
(MDPI, 2023-07-28)
Modifying the spectrum of recorded or synthetic speech is an effective strategy for boosting intelligibility in noise without increasing the speech level. However, the wider impact of changes to the spectral energy ...
Quartz chemistry of granitic pegmatites: Implications for classification, genesis and exploration
(Elsevier, 2021-12-05)
[EN]Quartz from 254 pegmatites representing eight pegmatite fields and provinces worldwide was investigated by laser-ablation inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) to determine concentrations of trace ...
