CoproID predicts the source of coprolites and paleofeces using microbiome composition and host DNA content
(2020-04-17)
Shotgun metagenomics applied to archaeological feces (paleofeces) can bring new insights into the composition and functions of human and animal gut microbiota from the past. However, paleofeces often undergo physical ...
Fe/Olivine As Primary Catalyst in the Biomass Steam Gasification in a Fountain Confined Spouted Bed Reactor
(Elsevier, 2021-07-25)
The performance of Fe/olivine catalysts was tested in the continuous steam gasification of sawdust in a bench scale plant provided with a fountain confined conical spouted bed reactor at 850 degrees C. Olivine was used as ...

(MDPI, 2020-07-31)
The university is a key agent in the process of transformation towards sustainability within the framework of the 2030 Agenda. This study aims to analyze the usefulness of the collaborative learning methodology through a ...
Wind Energy Harnessing in a Railway Infrastructure: Converter Topology and Control Proposal
(MDPI, 2020-11-18)
Long distances in the vicinities of railways are not exploited in terms of wind energy. This paper presents a scalable power electronics approach, aimed to harness the wind potential in a railway infrastructure. The key ...
Influence of advanced shoe technology on the top 100 annual performances in men's marathon from 2015 to 2019.
(Nature Research, 2021-11-17)
[EN]The NIKE Vaporfly shoe was introduced in May 2017 as part of the original #Breaking2 Project (an event aimed to run the first marathon under 2h). This new advanced shoe technology (NAST) changed the footwear design ...
Relevance of the Quadratic Diamagnetic and Self-Polarization Terms in Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics
(American Chemical Society, 2020-04-15)
Experiments at the interface of quantum optics and chemistry have revealed that strong coupling between light and matter can substantially modify the chemical and physical properties of molecules and solids. While the ...
Quantum Memristors in Frequency-Entangled Optical Fields
(MDPI, 2020-02-14)
A quantum memristor is a passive resistive circuit element with memory, engineered in a given quantum platform. It can be represented by a quantum system coupled to a dissipative environment, in which a system–bath ...
Universal Scaling Law for the Size Effect on Superelasticity at the Nanoscale Promotes the Use of Shape‐Memory Alloys in Stretchable Devices
(Wiley, 2020-02)
Shape-memory alloys (SMAs) are the most stretchable metallic materials thanks to their superelastic behavior associated with the stress-induced martensitic transformation. This property makes SMAs of potential interest for ...
Current Insights into 3D Bioprinting: An Advanced Approach for Eye Tissue Regeneration
(MDPI, 2021-02-26)
Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a game changer technology that holds great promise for a wide variety of biomedical applications, including ophthalmology. Through this emerging technique, specific eye tissues can be ...
Analysis of the Sensitivity of the End-Of-Turn Detection Task to Errors Generated by the Automatic Speech Recognition Process
(Elsevier, 2021-04)
An End-Of-Turn Detection Module (EOTD-M) is an essential component of automatic Spoken Dialogue Systems. The capability of correctly detecting whether a user?s utterance has ended or not improves the accuracy in interpreting ...
