Urban regeneration as population health intervention: a health impact assessment in the Bay of Pasaia (Spain)
(Biomed Central, 2016-09-15)
Background: An important health issue in urban areas is how changes arising from the regeneration of city-areas affect social determinants of health and equity. This paper examines the impacts attributable to a new fish ...
Maternal circulating Vitamin D-3 levels during pregnancy and behaviour across childhood
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-10-15)
Vitamin D deficiency during critical periods of development could lead to persistent brain alterations. We aimed to assess the association between maternal vitamin D-3, the major circulatory form of vitamin D, at pregnancy ...
ROP and crystallization behaviour of partially renewable triblock aromaticaliphatic copolymers derived from L-lactide
(Elsevier, 2019-10-26)
Two series of partially biobased ABA triblock copolyesters were successfully prepared by ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of L-lactide initiated by two telechelic polyester polyols using an organic catalyst. B blocks were ...
Nut Consumptions as a Marker of Higher Diet Quality in a Mediterranean Population at High Cardiovascular Risk
(MDPI, 2019-03-30)
BACKGROUND: Nut consumption has been associated with improved nutrient adequacy and diet quality in healthy adult populations but this association has never been explored in individuals at high cardiovascular risk.
OBJECTIVE: ...
A Novel Micro- and Nano-Scale Positioning Sensor Based on Radio Frequency Resonant Cavities
(MDPI, 2014-06)
In many micro- and nano-scale technological applications high sensitivity displacement sensors are needed, especially in ultraprecision metrology and manufacturing. In this work a new way of sensing displacement based on ...
Elucidating the Structure of Ethanol-Producing Active Sites at Oxide-Derived Cu Electrocatalysts
(ACS, 2020-08-21)
The discovery of oxide-derived copper catalysts for CO2 electroreduction is an outstanding advance in the field of electrocatalysis. Their low overpotentials and improved selectivity towards C2 products make them unique. ...
Structure dependency of the atomic-scale mechanisms of platinum electro-oxidation and dissolution
(Springer Nature, 2020-08-24)
Platinum dissolution and restructuring due to surface oxidation are primary degradation mechanisms that limit the lifetime of Pt-based electrocatalysts for electrochemical energy conversion. Here, we studied well-defined ...
Designing water splitting catalysts using rules of thumb: advantages, dangers and alternatives
(RSC, 2020-03-09)
Thermodynamic analysis of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) hints toward an intrinsic overpotential caused by the nonoptimal adsorption-energy scaling relation between OH and OOH. Consequently, nowadays it is a widely ...
How symmetry factors cause potential- and facet-dependent pathway shifts during CO2 reduction to CH4 on Cu electrodes
(Elsevier, 2020-12-28)
The deactivation of copper electrodes is a serious problem that can affect the scalability and deployment of CO2 electrolyzers. The effect is generally attributed to the cathodic deposition of Fe and Zn impurities from the ...
ELISA Test for the Serological Detection of Scedosporium/Lomentospora in Cystic Fibrosis Patients
(Frontiers Media, 2020-11-26)
The detection and diagnosis of the opportunistic fungi Scedosporium spp. and Lomentospora prolificans still relies mainly on low-sensitive culture-based methods. This fact is especially worrying in Cystic Fibrosis (CF) ...
