Values related to professionalism in dental education at the University of Chile: Student and faculty perceptions
(Wiley, 2019-05)Objective It is recognised that professionalism should play a central role in dental education. However, its implementation into the curricula of dental schools is still limited. Our objective was to identify the main ... -
Valuing a Natura 2000 network site to inform land use options using a discrete choice experiment: An illustration from the Basque Country
(Elsevier, 2012)One of the main problems that public institutions face in the management of protected areas, such as the European Natura 2000 network, is determining how to design and implement sustainable management plans that account ... -
Valuing Expansions of the Electricity Transmission Network under Uncertainty: The Binodal Case
(MDPI, 2011-10)Transmission investments are currently needed to meet an increasing electricity demand, to address security of supply concerns, and to reach carbon-emissions targets. A key issue when assessing the benefits from an expanded ... -
Valuing individuals’ preferences for air quality improvement: evidence from a discrete choice experiment in South Delhi
(Elsevier, 2022-03-08)Air pollution is one of the most pressing problems in India, taking millions of lives annually. Despite unprecedented air quality deterioration, little is known about individuals’ preferences for air quality improvement ... -
Valuing nature’s contributions to people: the IPBES approach
(Elsevier, 2017-06)Nature is perceived and valued in starkly different and often conflicting ways. This paper presents the rationale for the inclusive valuation of nature's contributions to people (NCP) in decision making, as well as broad ... -
van der Waals driven anharmonic melting of the 3D charge density wave in VSe2
(Nature, 2021-01-27)Understanding of charge-density wave (CDW) phases is a main challenge in condensed matter due to their presence in high-Tc superconductors or transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). Among TMDs, the origin of the CDW in ... -
Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries: A Review Oriented to Fluid-Dynamic Optimization
(MDPI, 2020-12-31)Large-scale energy storage systems (ESS) are nowadays growing in popularity due to the increase in the energy production by renewable energy sources, which in general have a random intermittent nature. Currently, several ... -
Vanishing efficiency of speeded-up quantum Otto engines
(IOP, 2019-08-28)We assess the energy cost of shortcuts to adiabatic expansions or compressions of a harmonic oscillator, the power strokes of a quantum Otto engine. Difficulties to identify the cost stem from the interplay between different ... -
Vargar
(Mythopoeic Society, 2021)Squinting my eyes and resuming the frenzied spurring, I headed unflinchingly towards the setting sun. The gap between my steed and the couple of pursuers was widening, we were almost outside their shooting range. -
Variability and distribution of parasites, pathologies and their effect on wild mussels (Mytilus sp) in different environments along a wide latitudinal span in the Northern Atlantic and Arctic Oceans
(Elsevier, 2022-04)[EN] Histopathological examination in mussels can provide useful information for the diagnosis of ecosystem health status. The distribution of parasites in mussels can be conditioned by several environmental factors, ... -
Variability in cerebrospinal fluid microRNAs through life
(Springer, 2020-07-16)The development of human brain starts in the first weeks of embryo differentiation. However, there are many relevant neurodevelopmental processes that take place after birth and during lifespan. Such a fine and changing ... -
Variability in the air-sea interaction patterns and timescales within the south-eastern Bay of Biscay, as observed by HF radar data
(Copernicus Gesellschaft MBH, 2013)Two high-frequency (HF) radar stations were installed on the coast of the south-eastern Bay of Biscay in 2009, providing high spatial and temporal resolution and large spatial coverage of currents in the area for the first ... -
Variability in the Beneficial Effects of Phenolic Compounds: A Review
(MDPI, 2022-05-04)When analysing the beneficial effects of phenolic compounds, several factors that exert a clear influence should be taken into account. The content of phenolic compounds in foods is highly variable, directly affecting ... -
Variability of indication criteria in knee and hip replacement: an observational study
(BioMed Central, 2010)Background Total knee (TKR) and hip (THR) replacement (arthroplasty) are effective surgical procedures that relieve pain, improve patients' quality of life and increase functional capacity. Studies on variations in medical ... -
Variability of the Motor Behavior during Continued Practice of the Same Motor Game: A Preliminary Study
(MDPI, 2020-11-22)Motor behavior assessment during games could help physical education teachers and team coaches to design effective and efficient motor interventions. This study aimed to assess the variability of the physical and behavioral ... -
Variable Capacity for Acute and Chronic Thermal Compensation of Physiological Rates Contributes to Inter-Individual Differences in Growth Rate in Mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis)
(Frontiers Media, 2020-09)The aim of this study was to ascertain if the capacity for acute and chronic compensation of thermal effects on physiological rates represents a trait contributing to inter-individual growth rate differences in the mussel ... -
Variable phenotype in HNF1B mutations: extrarenal manifestations distinguish affected individuals from the population with congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract
(Oxford Academic, 2019)Background: Mutations in hepatocyte nuclear factor 1B (HNF1B) have been associated with congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) in humans. Diabetes and other less frequent anomalies have also been ... -
Variable selection with LASSO regression for complex survey data
