Short-Term Exposure to High Atmospheric Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) Severely Impacts Durum Wheat Carbon and Nitrogen Metabolism in the Absence of Edaphic Water Stress
(MDPI, 2021-01-08)
Low atmospheric relative humidity (RH) accompanied by elevated air temperature and decreased precipitation are environmental challenges that wheat production will face in future decades. These changes to the atmosphere are ...
Candida parapsilosis Colony Morphotype Forecasts Biofilm Formation of Clinical Isolates
(MDPI, 2021-01-07)
Candida parapsilosis is a frequent cause of fungal bloodstream infections, especially in critically ill neonates or immunocompromised patients. Due to the formation of biofilms, the use of indwelling catheters and other ...
Characterization of the Potential Effects of EMC Filters for Power Converters on Narrowband Power Line Communications
(MDPI, 2021-01-12)
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) filters are one of the main solutions for dealing with the disturbances generated by power inverters. However, they show series/parallel resonances that introduce variations in the ...
Family Context Assessment to Promote Language and Reading Abilities in 6-Year-Old Children
(MDPI, 2021-01-12)
Within a bioecological model, research works over the past decades have shown the significant influence of family micro systemic variables on child development. This study is aimed to test the factorial structure of the ...
Self-Evaporation Dynamics of Quantum Droplets in a 41K-87Rb Mixture
(MDPI, 2021-01-19)
We theoretically investigate the self-evaporation dynamics of quantum droplets in a 41K-87Rb mixture, in free-space. The dynamical formation of the droplet and the effects related to the presence of three-body losses are ...
Common Variants in Alzheimer’s Disease and Risk Stratification by Polygenic Risk Scores
(Springer, 2021-06-07)
Genetic discoveries of Alzheimer's disease are the drivers of our understanding, and together with polygenetic risk stratification can contribute towards planning of feasible and efficient preventive and curative clinical ...
Agricultural Soils Amended with Thermally-Dried Anaerobically-Digested Sewage Sludge Showed Increased Risk of Antibiotic Resistance Dissemination
(Frontiers Media, 2021-04-28)
The application of sewage sludge (SS) to agricultural soil can help meet crop nutrient requirements and enhance soil properties, while reusing an organic by-product. However, SS can be a source of antibiotic resistance ...
Cellulose as an Inert Scaffold in Plasmon-Assisted Photoregeneration of Cofactor Molecules
(American Chemical Society, 2020-04-29)
Plasmonic nanoparticles exhibit excellent light-harvesting properties in the visible spectral range, which makes them a convenient material for the conversion of light into useful chemical fuel. However, the need for using ...
Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics of Hydrogen on Tungsten Surfaces
(Royal Society Of Chemistry, 2021-04-07)
The dissociation process of hydrogen molecules on W(110) was studied using density functional theory and classical molecular dynamics. We have calculated the dissociation probability for molecules with energies below 300 ...
Students’ Perception about Sustainability in the Engineering School of Bilbao (University of the Basque Country): Insertion Level and Importance
(MDPI, 2021-08-03)
Almost three decades have passed since the Rio declaration, and after numerous initiatives developed to include sustainability in higher education, with the support of Education for Sustainable Development, it is worth ...
