Mindfulness and Next-Generation Members of Family Firms: A Source for Sustainability
(MDPI, 2021-05-11)
Family businesses are considered complex organizations where emotional and management challenges need to be faced. This is even more difficult when time of succession arrives and the new members are expected to engage with ...
Predicting Dimensions in Microfluidic Paper Based Analytical Devices
(MDPI, 2020-12-26)
The main problem for the expansion of the use of microfluidic paper-based analytical devices and, thus, their mass production is their inherent lack of fluid flow control due to its uncontrolled fabrication protocols. To ...
Suppression of the Self-Nucleation Effect of Semicrystalline Polymers by Confinement
(ACS, 2021-04-15)
The melt memory effect is well-known in polymer crystallization. It is caused by self-nuclei that
persist above the melting temperature. The origin and physical nature of self-nuclei are still under
debate. In this work, ...
An Integrated Approach to Transportation and Land-Use Planning for the Analysis of Former Railway Nodes in Sustainable Transport Development: The Case of the Vasco-Navarro Railway
(MDPI, 2020-12-31)
The disappearance of kilometers of railways that once structured their surrounding territory has become an alarming issue in the last decades. These days, several disused railway infrastructures have been converted into ...
“No More Insecurities”: New Alternative Masculinities' Communicative Acts Generate Desire and Equality to Obliterate Offensive Sexual Statements
(Frontiers Media, 2021-05-25)
To justify attraction to Dominant Traditional Masculinities (DTM) and lack of attraction to non-aggressive men, some women defend opinions such as "there are no frigid women, only inexperienced men". Such statements generate ...
Electronic Structure and Coexistence of Superconductivity with Magnetism in RbEuFe4As4
(American Physical Society, 2021-05-25)
In the novel stoichiometric iron-based material RbEuFe4As4, superconductivity coexists with a peculiar long-range magnetic order of Eu 4f states. Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we reveal a complex ...
Inhibitory and Facilitatory Effects of Phonological and Orthographic Similarity on L2 Word Recognition Across Modalities in Bilinguals
(Nature, 2021-06-17)
Language perception studies on bilinguals often show that words that share form and meaning across languages (cognates) are easier to process than words that share only meaning. This facilitatory phenomenon is known as the ...
Differences in thyroid function between small for gestational age and those with appropriate weight for gestational age. Is thyroid function normal in small for gestational age newborns?
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
[EN]INTRODUCTION: Several studies conclude that small for gestational age (SGA) children have a higher number of comorbidities, as well as a different hormonal profile compared to those with appropriate weight for gestational ...
Manipulating chemistry through nanoparticle morphology
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-01-01)
We demonstrate that the protonation chemistry of molecules adsorbed at nanometer distances from the surface of anisotropic gold nanoparticles can be manipulated through the effect of surface morphology on the local proton ...
Dynamic Integrated Model for Assessing Fisheries: Discard Bans as an Implicit Value-Added Tax
(Springer, 2021-09-21)
Integrated economic models have become popular for assessing climate change. In this paper we show how these methods can be used to assess the impact of a discard ban in a fishery. We state that a discard ban can be ...
