Methodology for the Study of the Envelope Airtightness of Residential Buildings in Spain: A Case Study
(MDPI, 2018-04)
Air leakage and its impact on the energy performance of dwellings has been broadly studied in countries with cold climates in Europe, US, and Canada. However, there is a lack of knowledge in this field in Mediterranean ...
A Method for Dynamically Selecting the Best Frequency Hopping Technique in Industrial Wireless Sensor Network Applications
(MDPI, 2018-02-23)
Industrial wireless applications often share the communication channel with other wireless technologies and communication protocols. This coexistence produces interferences and transmission errors which require appropriate ...
Music Education for All: The raison d’être of Music Schools
(MDPI, 2018-06)
Music schools, centres of non-formal music education, bring music to people of all ages as they work to achieve their main objective of offering practical musical training, for both instruments and voice. Their activities ...
Cross-Dehydrogenative Coupling Reactions for the Functionalization of α-Amino Acid Derivatives and Peptides
(Georg Thieme Verlag, 2018-06-25)
The functionalization of typically unreactive C(sp3)–H bondsholds great promise for reducing the reliance on existing functionalgroups while improving atom-economy and energy efficiency. As a re-sult, this topic ...
Iron-Catalyzed C(sp3)−H Functionalization of N,N-Dimethylanilines with Isocyanides
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018-01-22)
An efficient ligand-free Fe-catalyzed oxidative Ugi-type reaction toward the assembly of α-amino amides and short peptides is described. The reaction proceeds through the α-C(sp3)−H oxidation of N,N-dimethylanilines and ...
Site-Selective Cu-Catalyzed Alkylation of α-Amino Acids and Peptides toward the Assembly of Quaternary Centers
(Wiley, 2018-10-15)
The Cu(I)-catalyzed selective a-alkylation of a-amino acid and peptide derivatives with 2-alkyl-1,3-dioxolanes is reported. This oxidative coupling is distinguished by its site-specificity, high diastereoselectivity, and ...
Long Term Energy Transition Scenario Analysis for the City of Donostia
(MDPI, 2018-01-18)
The direction adopted for the energy transitions towards a low carbon future will have long lasting implications in other aspects beyond the Climate Change. However, cities are becoming increasingly complex and a detailed ...
Different Pathways Leading up to the Same Futsal Competition: Individual and Inter-Team Variability in Loading Patterns and Preseason Training Adaptations
(MDPI, 2018-12-28)
During the preseason, futsal players deal with large internal load, which may result in a reduction in physical performance. The aims of this study were to compare the session rating of perceived exertion training load ...
Resveratrol and Pterostilbene, Two Analogue Phenolic Compounds, Affect Aquaglyceroporin Expression in a Different Manner in Adipose Tissue
(MDPI, 2018-09)
Aquaglyceroporins (AQPs) are transmembrane channels that mediate glycerol release and glycerol uptake. They are involved in fat metabolism, with implications in obesity. The aim was to determine whether the administration ...
Effects of Different Plyometric Training Frequencies on Components of Physical Fitness in Amateur Female Soccer Players
(Frontiers Media SA, 2018-07-17)
Plyometric jump training (PJT) is a frequently used and effective means to improve amateur and elite soccer players' physical fitness. However, it is unresolved how different PJT frequencies per week with equal overall ...
