The dual integrated force method applied to unidirectional composites
(John Wiley & Sons, 2014-04-07)
This paper shows the use of the dual integrated force method (IFMD) in finite elements method and its application to composite materials. This method was developed by S.N. Patnaik in isotropic materials, considering not ...
Mortar-based systems for externally bonded strengthening of masonry
(Springer, 2014-06-12)
[EN]Mortar-based composite materials appear particularly promising for use as externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) systems for masonry structures. Nevertheless, their mechanical performance, which may significantly differ ...
Textile-reinforced mortar as strengthening material for masonry arches
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-09-03)
[EN] Masonry arches are an important part of built heritage that must be preserved. Research and advanced studies of historical masonry structures have progressed slowly in comparison to studies on structures made of other ...
Optically active multilayer films based on chitosan and an azopolymer
(2014-02-24)
The layer-by-layer technique has been widely adopted for the fabrication of nanostructures with tailored properties. In this work, photoactive multilayer films consisting of alternating layers of chitosan and an azopolymer ...
The Effects of Bioactive Nanoparticles on the Degradaion of DLGA
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-09-11)
The effect of bioactive nanoparticles on the in vitro degradation of DLGA composite scaffolds is
investigated. Fabricated by thermally induced phase separation, the scaffolds present a high porosity
(>90%). In vitro ...
The synergistic effects of the RGD density and the microenvironment on the behavior of encapsulated cells: In vitro and in vivo direct comparative study
(John Wiley & Sons, 2014-11)
The inclusion of the tripeptide RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) in otherwise inert biomaterials employed for cell encapsulation has been observed to be an effective strategy to provide the immobilized cells with a more suitable ...
Behavioral problems and depressive symptomatology as predictors of child-toparent violence
(Elsevier, 2014-07)
[EN]The number of complaints filed by parents against their children nationwide has increased dramatically, particularly since 2005. The aim of this study was to examine whether young offenders who had been charged for ...
Physicochemical properties of PLA lignin blends
(2014-01-12)
Commercial alkali lignin (CL) and lignin extracted from almond shells by organosolv process (OL) were
used for the preparation of blends with poly(lactic acid) (PLA) with different percentages (0.5, 1, 5, 10 and
20%) by ...
Los procesos de integración de personas inmigrantes: límites y nuevas aportaciones para un estudio más integral.
(Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, 2014-02-17)
Los procesos de integración de personas inmigrantes es una cuestión de compleja conceptualización y de amplia discusión tanto en el ámbito de la política pública como desde la academia. El pretendido consenso europeo sobre ...
Buspirone anti-dyskinetic effect is correlated with temporal normalization of dysregulated striatal DRD1 signalling in L-DOPA-treated rats
(Elsevier, 2014-04)
Dopamine replacement with l-DOPA is the most effective therapy in Parkinson's disease. However, with chronic treatment, half of the patients develop an abnormal motor response including dyskinesias. The specific molecular ...
