Eurobalise-Train communication modelling to assess interferences in railway control signalling systems
(Macrothink Institute, 2016-05-10)
The evolution of the railway sector depends, to a great extent, on the deployment of advanced railway signalling systems. These signalling systems are based on communication architectures that must cope with complex ...
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 ...
Characterisation of Exposure to Non-Ionising Electromagnetic Fields in the Spanish INMA Birth Cohort: Study Protocol
(Biomed Central, 2016-02-18)
Background: Analysis of the association between exposure to electromagnetic fields of non-ionising radiation (EMF-NIR) and health in children and adolescents is hindered by the limited availability of data, mainly due to ...
Artificial Life in Quantum Technologies
(Nature Publishing, 2016-02-08)
We develop a quantum information protocol that models the biological behaviours of individuals living in a natural selection scenario. The artificially engineered evolution of the quantum living units shows the fundamental ...
Organic-Acid Mediated Bulk Polymerization of e-Caprolactam and Its Copolymerization with e-Caprolactone
(Wiley, 2016-03-09)
Polyamides (PA) constitute one of the most important
classes of polymeric materials and have gained strong
position in different areas, such as textiles, fibers, and construction
materials. Whereas most PA are synthesized ...
Room temperature synthesis of non-isocyanate polyurethanes (NIPUs) using highly reactive N-substituted 8-membered cyclic carbonates
(RSC, 2016-02-16)
There is a growing interest to develop green synthetic pathways towards industrially relevant polymers
such as polyurethanes without the use of toxic and dangerous isocyanate monomers. The most promising
route towards ...
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 ...
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 ...
