Inflection, Canards and Folded Singularities in Excitable Systems: Application to a 3D FitzHugh–Nagumo Model
(Springer, 2020-09-07)
Specific kinds of physical and biological systems exhibit complex Mixed-Mode Oscillations mediated by folded-singularity canards in the context of slow-fast models. The present manuscript revisits these systems, specifically ...
The effects of an intervention to improve mental health during the COVID-19 quarantine: comparison with a COVID control group, and a pre-COVID intervention group
(Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, 2021-06-12)
Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic has constituted an unprecedented
challenge to society and science and it has provided an
unexpected opportunity to explore the effects of a positive intervention
in times of adversity ...
Environmental management certification and environmental performance: Greening or greenwashing?
(Wiley, 2020-09)
This article analyzes the contribution of certifiable environmental management
standards—such as ISO 14001 and the Eco-Management and Audit Scheme
(EMAS)—to corporate environmental performance. Based on a content analysis ...
Inhibition of Polo-like kinase 1 during the DNA damage response is mediated through loss of Aurora A recruitment by Bora
(Nature Publishing Group, 202016-10-)
When cells in G2 phase are challenged with DNA damage, several key mitotic regulators such as Cdk1/Cyclin B, Aurora A and Plk1 are inhibited to prevent entry into mitosis. Here we have studied how inhibition of Plk1 is ...
Expression of Resilience, Coping and Quality of Life in people with cancer
(PLoS ONE, 2020)
Considering the importance of coping strategies and resilience in adapting to the stress
caused by cancer, the objective of this research is to explore which coping strategies are the
most used, in order to know whether ...
Evaluation of ZrO2/Al2O3 system as catalysts in the catalytic transfer hydrogenation of furfural to obtain furfuryl alcohol
(Elsevier, 2021-10-26)
ZrO2, Al2O3 and ZrO2/Al2O3 with different Zr/Al molar ratio, have been synthesized by coprecipitation and subsequent calcination. The resulting catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron ...
Enzymatically produced cellulose nanocrystals as reinforcement for waterborne polyurethane and its applications
(Elsevier Ltd., 2021-02)
[EN] Waterborne polyurethanes (WBPUs) have been proposed as ecofriendly elastomers with several applications in coatings and adhesives. WBPU’s physicochemical properties can be enhanced by the addition of cellulose ...
Deciphering past and present atmospheric metal pollution of urban environments: The role of black crusts formed on historical constructions
(Elsevier, 2020-01)
Construction materials affected by black crusts (BCs) can be subjected to restoration, demolition, recycling or even to their management as waste products. Therefore, the determination of their chemical features should be ...
Influence of morphology of zirconium-doped mesoporous silicas on 5-hydroxymethylfurfural production from mono-, di- and polysaccharides
(Elsevier, 2020-02-21)
[EN] Different zirconium-doped mesoporous silicas (Zr-KIT-6, Zr-SBA-15, Zr-MCM-41 and Zr-HMS) were synthesized and evaluated in the glucose dehydration to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). A Si/Zr molar ratio of 5 was chosen ...
