Power relations? What power relations? The de-politicising conceptualisation of development of the UNDP
(Routledge, 2017-03-14)
The UN′s Sustainable Development Goals agenda points far into 2030, which shows that its post-war development endeavour is not functioning effectively. This article implements a discourse analysis of the UN Development ...
Modulation of Pore Shape and Adsorption Selectivity by Ligand Functionalization in a Series of “rob”-like Flexible Metal-Organic Frameworks
(RSC, 2018-08-08)
We report the synthesis of a new family of four new isoreticular metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) based on
Cu–Cu paddle-wheel building units. The four MOFs contain 1D microchannels modulated by chemical
functionalisation ...
A real time sliding mode control for a wave energy converter based on a wells turbine
(Elsevier, 2018-06-18)
Due to the nonlinear dynamics and uncertainties usually present in wave energy conversion systems, the efficiency of these devices can be enhanced employing a robust control algorithms. Wave energy converters are constructed ...
Enriched Environment Reverts Somatostatin Interneuron Loss in MK-801 Model of Schizophrenia
(Springer, 2019-09-10)
Dysregulation of the inhibitory drive has been proposed to be a central mechanism to explain symptoms and pathophysiological hallmarks in schizophrenia. A number of recent neuroanatomical studies suggest that certain types ...
Transferring landscape values using discrete choice experiments: Is meta-analysis an option?
(Asociación Española de Economía Agraria, 2014-06-30)
[EN] Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) is an increasingly used valuation method to guide policy-makers in their landscape management decision-making. However, due to time and budget constraints, conducting an original DCE ...
Objectively measured absolute and relative physical activity intensity levels in postmenopausal women
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-11-08)
Objectives: To investigate how objectively measured physical activity (PA) levels differ according to absolute moderate intensity recommendation (3-6 METs) and relative to individual lactate thresholds (LT1 and LT2), and ...
Multi-Objective Optimisation-Based Tuning of Two Second-Order Sliding-Mode Controller Variants for DFIGs Connected to Non-Ideal Grid Voltage
(MPDI, 2019-10-05)
In this paper, a posteriori multi-objective optimisation (MOO) is applied to tune the parameters of a second-order sliding-mode control (2-SMC) scheme commanding the grid-side converter (GSC) of a doubly-fed induction ...
Perturbation Theory Model of Reactivity and Enantioselectivity of Palladium-catalyzed Heck-Heck cascade reactions
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-04-13)
Enantioselective intramolecular Heck-Heck cascade reactions have emerged as an excellent tool for the construction of polycyclic frameworks, such as Lycorane alkaloids, Xestoquinone and analogues. However, it is particularly ...
Electronic modeling of a PEMFC with logarithmic amplifiers
(Elsevier, 2015-02-04)
The main purpose of this project has been to simulate the behavior of a PEM-type fuel cell working in a stationary regimen using an equivalent circuit (EC). The EC designed with Multisim circuit design software reproduces ...
Short-Term Exposure to Enriched Environment in Adult Rats Restores MK-801-Induced Cognitive Deficits and GABAergic Interneuron Immunoreactivity Loss
(Springer Science, 2018-01-01)
Perinatal injections of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist in rodents emulate some cognitive impairments and neurochemical alterations, such as decreased GABAergic (gamma aminobutyric acid) interneuron ...
