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 ...
Serological and Genetic Evidence for Altered Complement System Functionality in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Findings of the GAPAID Consortium
(Public Library Science, 2016-03-07)
Systemic lupus erythematosus is a chronic autoimmune disease with multifactorial ethiopathogenesis. The complement system is involved in both the early and late stages of disease development and organ damage. To better ...
Empirical Doppler Characterization of Signals Scattered by Wind Turbines in the UHF Band under Near Field Condition
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013)
Time variability of the scattering signals from wind turbines may lead to degradation problems on the communication systems provided in the UHF band, especially under near field condition. In order to analyze the variability ...
A Measurement-based Multipath Channel Model for Signal Propagation in Presence of Wind Farms in the UHF Band
(IEEE, 2013-10-15)
[EN] Scattering signals on wind turbines may lead to
degradation problems on the communication systems provided
in the UHF band, such as terrestrial television broadcasting,
broadband wireless systems or public safety ...
Impact analysis of wind farms on telecommunication services
(Elsevier, 2014-01-25)
[EN] Wind power is one of the fastest-growing technologies for renewable energy generation. Unfortunately, in the recent years some cases of degradation on certain telecommunication systems have arisen due to the presence ...
The price of energy efficiency in the Spanish housing market
(Energy Policy, 2016)
The housing sector is a substantial consumer of energy, and therefore a focus for energy savings efforts. The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), introduced in 2002 and revised in 2010, is a key instrument ...
Paving the way for a wider use of composites in railway industry
(Springer International Publishing, 2019-05-13)
Different types of phosphorus containing halogen-free flame retardants (FRs) were added to an epoxy-dicyandiamide resin formulation in order to study to which extent they affect its glass transition temperature (Tg), tensile ...
UV-cross-linked poly(ethylene oxide carbonate) as free standing solid polymer electrolyte for lithium batteries
(Elsevier, 2019-04-10)
Aliphatic polycarbonates have emerged as promising polymer electrolytes due to their combination of moderate ionic conductivity and high lithium transference numbers. However, the mechanical properties of the aliphatic ...
From classical to nonparametric growth models: Towards comprehensive modelling of mussel growth patterns
(Elsevier, 2017-03-18)
Understanding biological processes, such as growth, is crucial to development management and sustainability plans for bivalve populations. Von Bertalanffy and Gompertz models have been commonly used to fit bivalve growth. ...
Strategies for the intensification of CO2 valorization in the one-step dimethyl ether synthesis process
(ACS, 2019-12-16)
The intensification of CO2 valorization has been theoretically studied in the direct synthesis of dimethyl ether (DME) carried out in a packed-bed reactor by means of two strategies pursuing the attenuation of the thermodynamic ...
