Thermal radiative properties of electron-beam-melted and mechanically alloyed V-4Cr-4Ti based alloys between 200 and 750 ºC
(Elsevier, 2018-11-02)
The directional spectral emissivities of two V-4Cr-4Ti family alloys, candidate structural materials for fusion first wall/blanket applications, were measured between 200 °C and their working temperatures (700–750 °C), ...
Politicizing Responsible Innovation: Responsibility as Inclusive Governance
(Elsevieron behalf of KeAi, 2018-02-26)
[EN]This paper aims to provide the historical and conceptual bases underlying the inclusionary transition of European innovation policy, and critical analysis of the difficulties relating to the political nature of this ...
Real Time Direct Kinematic Problem Computation of the 3PRS robot Using Neural Networks
(Elsevier, 2018-01-03)
The reliable calculation of the Direct Kinematic Problem (DKP) is one of the main challenges for the implementation of Real-Time (RT) controllers in Parallel Robots. The DKP estimates the pose of the end effector of the ...
Genetic Variants and Hamstring Injury in Soccer: An Association and Validation Study
(American College of Sports Medicine, 2018-02)
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the association of candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) with noncontact hamstring muscle injuries in elite soccer players and to create and validate a model to assess the ...
Association between birth weight and educational attainment: an individual-based pooled analysis of nine twin cohorts
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2018-05-30)
Background There is evidence that birth weight is
positively associated with education, but it remains
unclear whether this association is explained by familial
environmental factors, genetic factors or the intrauteri ...
Baseline tissue levels of trace metals and metalloids to approach ecological threshold concentrations in aquatic macroinvertebrates
(Elsevier, 2018-04-24)
Within the framework of the European Environmental Quality Standards Directive, the biota was recognized as a suitable matrix for monitoring water quality. In the Nalón River basin (North Spain), a catchment subject to ...
Derivation of sediment Hg quality standards based on ecological assessment in river basins
(Elsevier, 2018-11-28)
The Environmental Quality Standards (EQS) directive was an important improvement of long-term water quality monitoring at the European level, leading to the use of sediments and biota as relevant matrices for assessing ...
Sensitivity of macroinvertebrate indicator taxa to metal gradients in mining areas in Northern Spain
(Elsevier, 2018-04-24)
The study of macroinvertebrate communities using a Reference Condition Approach (RCA) is a powerful tool for detecting the impacts of mining activities due to heavy metal contamination in rivers. However, studies on this ...
α-Hydroxy Ketones as Masked Ester Donors in Brønsted Base-Catalyzed Conjugate Additions to Nitroalkenes
(ChemPubSoc Europe, 2018-02-15)
Tuning the Affinity of Catechols and Salicylic Acids towards Al(III): Characterization of Al-Chelator Interactions
(2018-06-11)
Due to aluminum's controversial role in neurotoxicity, the goal of chelation therapy, the removal of the toxic metal ion or attenuation of its toxicity by transforming it into less toxic compounds, has attracted considerable ...
