Changes in the Serotype Distribution of Streptococcus Pneumoniae Causing Otitis Media After PCV13 Introduction in Spain
(Public Library Science, 2018-12-18)
One of the beneficial effects of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) has been a decrease in the incidence of non-invasive infections, such as otitis media (OM) caused by vaccine serotypes. In this study, we analyzed the ...
Micro-Capillary Coatings Based on Spiropyran Polymeric Brushes for Metal Ion Binding, Detection, and Release in Continuous Flow
(MDPI, 2018-04)
Micro-capillaries, capable of light-regulated binding and qualitative detection of divalent metal ions in continuous flow, have been realised through functionalisation with spiropyran photochromic brush-type coatings. Upon ...
Holocene forest dynamics in central and western Mediterranean: periodicity, spatio-temporal patterns and climate influence
(Nature Publishing, 2018-06-12)
It is well-known that the Holocene exhibits a millennial-scale climate variability. However, its periodicity, spatio-temporal patterns and underlying processes are not fully deciphered yet. Here we focus on the central and ...
Liquid-State and Solid-State Properties of Nanotube/Polypropylene Nanocomposites Elaborated via a Simple Procedure
(MDPI, 2013-03-06)
Non-modified Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT) and polypropylene (PP) in absence of compatibilizer have been chosen to elaborate MWCNT/PP nanocomposites using a simple melt-mixing dispersing method. Calorimetry results ...
Spinor frame formalism for amplitudes and constrained superamplitudes of 10D SYM and 11D supergravity
(Springer, 2018-11-06)
We show that 10D spinor helicity formalism can be understood as spinor moving frame approach to supersymmetric particles extended to the description of amplitudes. This allows us to develop the spinor helicity formalism ...
Crystallization and Stereocomplexation of PLA-mb-PBS Multi-Block Copolymers
(MDPI, 2017-12-22)
The crystallization and morphology of PLA-mb-PBS copolymers and their corresponding stereocomplexes were studied. The effect of flexible blocks (i.e., polybutylene succinate, PBS) on the crystallization of the copolymers ...
Cell-Centric View of Apoptosis and Apoptotic Cell Death-Inducing Antitumoral Strategies
(MDPI, 2011-03-03)
Programmed cell death and especially apoptotic cell death, occurs under physiological conditions and is also desirable under pathological circumstances. However, the more we learn about cellular signaling cascades, the ...
Observation of Υ(2S)→γηb(1S) Decay
(American Physical Society, 2018-12-03)
We report the observation of gamma(2S) -> gamma eta(b)(1S) based on an analysis of the inclusive photon spectrum of 24.7 fb(-1) of e(+)e(-) collisions at the gamma(2s) center-of-mass energy collected with the Belle detector ...
FINGER (Forming and Identifying New Groups of Expected Risks): Developing and Validating a New Predictive Model to Identify Patients With High Healthcare Cost and at Risk of Admission
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2018-05)
Objective Predictive statistical models used in population stratification programmes are complex and usually difficult to interpret for primary care professionals. We designed FINGER (Forming and Identifying New Groups of ...
Higher-Order Topological Insulators
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2018-06)
Three-dimensional topological (crystalline) insulators are materials with an insulating bulk but conducting surface states that are topologically protected by time-reversal (or spatial) symmetries. We extend the notion of ...
