Application of a Combined Adsorption−Ozonation Process for Phenolic Wastewater Treatment in a Continuous Fixed-Bed Reactor
(MDPI, 2021-08-22)
This work studied the removal of phenol from industrial effluents through catalytic ozonation in the presence of granular activated carbon in a continuous fixed-bed reactor. Phenol was chosen as model pollutant because of ...
Five Years (2014–2018) of Beta Activity Concentration and the Impact of Synoptic and Local Meteorological Conditions in Bilbao (Northern Spain)
(MDPI, 2021-10-10)
The aim of this paper is to statistically characterize gross beta activity concentrations in ground-level air in Bilbao (northern Spain) by analysing five years (2014–2018) worth of weekly measurements in aerosols collected ...
Is Brief Exposure to Green Space in School the Best Option to Improve Attention in Children?
(MDPI, 2021-07-13)
The positive effects of Green Spaces on health are thought to be achieved through the mechanisms of mitigation, instoration and restoration. One of the benefits of Green Spaces may be the restoration of attention and so ...
Testing the Multiple Pathways of Residential Greenness to Pregnancy Outcomes Model in a Sample of Pregnant Women in the Metropolitan Area of Donostia-San Sebastián
(MDPI, 2020-06-23)
Residential greenness may positively impact diverse human health indicators through the reduction of air pollution, the improvement of psychological health, and the promotion of physical activity. Previous studies indicate ...
Integration of gene expression and DNA methylation identifies epigenetically controlled modules related to PM2.5 exposure
(Elsevier, 2021-01)
Air pollution has been associated with adverse health effects across the life-course. Although underlying mechanisms are unclear, several studies suggested pollutant-induced changes in transcriptomic profiles. In this ...
Risk and Protective Factors for Bullying at 11 Years of Age in a Spanish Birth Cohort Study
(MDPI, 2020-06-19)
(1) Background: Bullying affects a large number of children worldwide. This study has two objectives, to provide data on the prevalence of bullying in Spain, and to identify risk and protective factors associated with ...
Colour Changes during the Carbamazepine Oxidation by Photo-Fenton
(MDPI, 2021-03-18)
The oxidation of aqueous solutions of carbamazepine is conducted using the Fenton reagent, combined with the photolytic action of a 150 W medium pressure UV lamp, operating at T = 40 °C. The effect of acidity is analysed ...
Urinary Arsenic Species and Methylation Efficiency During Pregnancy: Concentrations and Associated Factors in Spanish Pregnant Women
(Elsevier, 2021-05)
Background: Arsenic (As) is considered to be toxic for humans, the main routes of exposure being through drinking water and the diet. Once ingested, inorganic arsenic can be methylated sequentially to monomethyl and dimethyl ...
Transient Rechargeable Battery with a High Lithium Transport Number Cellulosic Separator
(Wiley, 2021-08)
Transient batteries play a pivotal role in the development of fully autonomous transient devices, which are designed to degrade after a period of stable operation. Here, a new transient separator-electrolyte pair is ...
Calibration of the X-ray Diffraction Technique in Measuring In-service Stresses in Corrugated Steel Bars
(Springer, 2021-10-25)
[EN]The X-ray diffraction technique for determining residual stresses in construction steels has been commonly used in the international scientific community for decades. Taking advantage of the concepts on which the ...
