A Novel Serum Metabolomic Profile for the Differential Diagnosis of Distal Cholangiocarcinoma and Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma
(MDPI, 2020-05-31)
The diagnosis of adenocarcinomas located in the pancreas head, i.e., distal cholangiocarcinoma (dCCA) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), constitutes a clinical challenge because they share many symptoms, are not ...
Lime mud waste from the paper industry as a partial replacement of cement in mortars used on radiant floor heating systems
(Elsevier Ltd., 2021-03-13)
[EN] In order to mitigate climate change, reductions of energy consumption are required on heating systems for residential and non-residential buildings. Despite radiant floor heating systems are being widely used due to ...
Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Mortars Reinforced with Recycled Brass Fibres
(Elsevier, 2021-05-17)
This paper aims to encourage the circular economy and merge the manufacturing and the construction industries, providing waste fibres from the electrical discharge machining of the former as raw material for the latter. ...
Experimental evaluation of cement mortars with recycled brass fibres from the electrical discharge machining process
(Elsevier, 2020-06-20)
This paper aims to evaluate the effect of recycled brass fibres on the physical, thermal and mechanical properties of cementitious mortars. For that purpose, seven different mortars, with the same water/cement ratio but ...
Stakeholder Value Creation: Comparing ESG and Value Added in European Companies
(MDPI, 2021-01-29)
In recent years, a renewed interest in value creation for stakeholders has been witnessed in different contexts. Different tools have been proposed to try to grasp and measure such value(s) but, in many cases, the main ...
European Cities in the Energy Transition: A Preliminary Analysis of 27 Cities
(MDPI, 2020-03-12)
Nowadays, there is a wide scientific consensus about the unsustainability of the current energy system and at the same time, social awareness about climate change and the IPCC’s goals is increasing in Europe. Amongst ...
Urban Energy Transitions in Europe, towards Low-Socio-Environmental Impact Cities
(MDPI, 2021-10-21)
Achieving the ambitious targets set by Europe in its 2050 roadmap, moving away from fossil fuels towards renewable energy sources, while reducing carbon emissions, will require a radical change in Europe’s energy system. ...
Novel Loci for Childhood Body Mass Index and Shared Heritability with Adult Cardiometabolic Traits
(Public Library Science, 2020-10-12)
The genetic background of childhood body mass index (BMI), and the extent to which the well-known associations of childhood BMI with adult diseases are explained by shared genetic factors, are largely unknown. We performed ...
In Vitro Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Modelling and Simulation of Amphotericin B against Candida auris
(MDPI, 2021-10-22)
The aims of this study were to characterize the antifungal activity of amphotericin B against Candida auris in a static in vitro system and to evaluate different dosing schedules and MIC scenarios by means of semi-mechanistic ...
In Vitro Interaction and Killing-Kinetics of Amphotericin B Combined with Anidulafungin or Caspofungin against Candida auris
(MDPI, 2021-08-25)
Treatment of invasive infections caused by Candida auris is challenging due to the limited therapeutic options. The combination of antifungal drugs may be an interesting and feasible approach to be investigated. The aim ...
