Imidazolium-based co-poly(ionic liquid) membranes for CO2/N2 separation
(ACS, 2019-01-04)
The development of efficient carbon dioxide capture and separation technologies is at the fore front of the priorities in the climate change policies. Poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) have been emerging as extremely promising ...
Dopaminergic control of ADAMTS2 expression through cAMP/CREB and ERK: molecular effects of antipsychotics
(Nature, 2019-11-18)
A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms that participate in the development and clinical manifestations of schizophrenia can lead to improve our ability to diagnose and treat this disease. Previous data strongly ...
A manual-based family intervention for families living with the consequences of traumatic injury to the brain or spinal cord: a study protocol of a randomized controlled trial
(BMC, 2019-11-27)
Background Acquiring a traumatic injury constitutes a severe life change for the survivor, but also for the surrounding family. The paradigm of helping the family has primarily been on psychosocial interventions targeting ...
Implementing User Behaviour on Dynamic Building Simulations for Energy Consumption
(Sciendo-De Gruyter, 2019-12)
User behaviour influences the energy consumption of domestic properties with different range of variations and this has an effect on the results of building simulations based on default or general values, as opposed to ...
Poly(ionic liquid)-based engineered mixed matrix membranes for CO2/H2 separation
(Elsevier, 2019-04-06)
Poly(ionic liquid)s (PIL) have emerged as a class of versatile polyelectrolites, that can be used to prepare new materials able to achieve superior performances compared to conventional polymers. The combination of PILs ...
Homelessness and self-rated health: evidence from a national survey of homeless people in Spain
(BMC, 2019-08-10)
Background: Internationally, acute homelessness is commonly associated with complex health and social care needs. While homelessness can be understood as an outcome of structural housing exclusion requiring housing led ...
Consensus on priorities in maternal education: results of Delphi and nominal group technique approaches
(BMC, 2019-07-24)
BackgroundMaternal education is wide-ranging and covers many areas from pregnancy to the immediate postpartum period and childrearing. However, for it to be effective, more resources need to be assigned to key topics. The ...
Harnessing Deep-Hole Drilling to Fabricate Air-Structured Polymer Optical Fibres
(MDPI, 2019-10-24)
The performance of a precisely controlled drilling technique is critical in the fabrication process of microstructured polymer optical fibres. For the creation of a holey preform, adequate drilling bits with large ...
Miniature interferometric humidity sensor based on an off-center polymer cap onto optical fiber facet
(Elsevier, 2019-06-17)
In this work, we propose an interferometric humidity sensor based on a polymer micro-cap bonded off-center on the polished end of a standard single mode fiber (SMF). In our sensor, the sensitive part is the micro-cap. In ...
