PLLA/nHA Composite Films and Scaffolds for Medical Implants: In Vitro Degradation, Thermal and Mechanical Properties
(Springer, 2018-09-17)
Two poly(l-lactide) (PLLA) materials and changes in their mechanical, thermal, physical, and chemical properties while
undergoing in vitro degradation are studied. The potential applications of PLLA implants extend to ...
Prevalence and antifungal susceptibility profiles of Candida glabrata, Candida parapsilosis and their close-related species in oral candidiasis
(Elsevier, 2018-11)
Objective: To evaluate the importance of Candida glabrata, Candida parapsilosis and their close-related species, Candida bracarensis, Candida nivariensis, Candida metapsilosis and Candida orthopsilosis in patients with ...
Optimal renovation of buildings towards the nearly Zero Energy Building standard
(Elsevier, 2018-07-11)
In this paper, a Mixed-Integer Linear Programming model is proposed for the design of the energy renovation of existing buildings, considering both Energy Supply Systems and the adoption of Energy Saving Measures to reduce ...
Kinetic modeling of the direct synthesis of dimethyl ether over a CuO-ZnO-MnO/SAPO-18 catalyst and assessment of the CO2 conversion
(Elsevier, 2018-12-01)
A kinetic model has been established for the direct synthesis of dimethyl ether (DME) from syngas and CO2 feeds. The kinetic parameters have been determined fitting the experimental results obtained using a CuO-ZnO-MnO/SAPO-18 ...
LRRK2 Expression is Deregulated in Fibroblasts and Neurons from Parkinson Patients with Mutations in PINK1
(Springer, 2018)
Mutations in PINK1 (PARK6), a serine/threonine kinase involved in mitochondrial homeostasis, are associated with early onset Parkinson's disease. Fibroblasts from Parkinson's disease patients with compound heterozygous ...

(Wiley, 2018)
El trabajo estudia la influencia de las distintas instituciones nacionales en los resultados empresariales en materia medioambiental, social y de gobernanza (ESG) a través del enfoque de las variedades de los sistemas ...
Measurement Methodology for Determining the Optimal Frequency Domain Configuration to Accurately Record WiFi Exposure Levels
(IEEE, 2018-07-04)
[EN] Radiofrequency fields are usually measured in order to be compared with electromagnetic exposure limits defined by international standardization organizations with the aim of preserving the human health. However, in ...
Estimating Attraction Basin Sizes of Combinatorial Optimization Problems
(Springer, 2018-07-20)
[EN]Given a particular instance of a combinatorial optimization problem, the knowledge about the attraction basin sizes can help to analyze the difficulty encountered by local search algorithms while solving it. As calculating ...
Energetic viability of a polyolefin pyrolysis plant
(American Chemical Society, 2018-03)
The energetic viability of a polyolefin pyrolysis unit that could be installed in a refinery plant was examined. Thermal pyrolysis at 500 and 700 degrees C, and the catalytic cracking by means of HZSM-5 and HY catalysts ...
Hardness, grainsize and porosity formation prediction on the Laser Metal Deposition of AISI 304 stainless steel
(Elsevier, 2018-08-14)
[EN] The presented numerical model solves the heat and mass transfer equations in the Laser Metal Deposition process and based on the evolution of the thermal field predicts the grainsize, the resulting hardness and evaluates ...
