Non-financial reports, anti-corruption performance and corporate reputation
(Fundação Escola de Comércio Álvares Penteado, 2015)
Objective – This paper analyzes whether the anti-corruption reporting practices of the companies are a reflection of adequate anti-corruption systems put in place by companies, or whether the disclosure is merely a tool ...
Moisture dependent thermal properties of hydrophilic mineral wool: application of the effective media theory
(2015-07-27)
Thermal properties of mineral wool based materials appear to be of particular importance for their practical applications because the majority of them is used in the form of thermal insulation boards. Every catalogue list ...
Multi-objective environmental model evaluation by means of multidimensional kernel density estimators: Efficient and multi-core implementations
(2015-01-01)
We propose an extension to multiple dimensions of the univariate index of agreement between Probability Density Functions (PDFs) used in climate studies. We also provide a set of high-performance programs targeted both to ...
Temperature dependence of spin diffusion length and spin Hall angle in Au and Pt
(Americal Physical Society, 2015-01-05)
We have studied the spin transport and the spin Hall effect as a function of temperature for platinum (Pt) and gold (Au) in lateral spin valve structures. First, by using the spin absorption technique, we extract the spin ...
Methodology for evaluating the energy renovation effects on the thermal performance of social housing buildings: Monitoring study and grey box model development
(Elsevier, 2015-06-06)
Grey box models are a solution for evaluating and quantifying the effect on building thermal performance of different energy saving measures. They are usually used to predict a building thermal performance, and applied to ...
Relative sea-level changes in the Basque coast (northern Spain, Bay of Biscay) during the Holocene and Anthropocene: The Urdaibai estuary case
(Elsevier, 2015)
In order to reconstruct the environmental evolution process of the Urdaibai estuary in response to sea-level changes in the Basque coast (northern Spain, Bay of Biscay) during the last 8500 years, 10 boreholes were drilled ...
Isolation of the effect of the hairy layer length on the mechanical properties of waterborne coatings
(Elsevier, 2015-07-19)
The effect of the acidic hairy layer length on the interdiffusion of polymer between particles and as a consequence on the mechanical properties of the films produced from waterborne coatings has been studied. In order to ...
Matrix Effect Compensation in Small-Molecule Profiling for an LC–TOF Platform Using Multicomponent Postcolumn Infusion
(ACS, 2015-05-12)
The possible presence of matrix effect is one of the main concerns in liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS)-driven bioanalysis due to its impact on the reliability of the obtained quantitative results. Here we ...
Quantitative determination of fentanyl in newborn pig plasma and cerebrospinal fluid samples by HPLC-MS/MS
(Wiley, 2015-03-09)
In this study, a selective and sensitive high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method requiring low sample volume (≤100 μL) was developed and validated for the quantitative determination ...
Males and females in EFL task-based interaction: does gender have an impact on LREs?
(Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Vigo, 2015)
This study analyzes the impact of gender on the language learning opportunities
available to Spanish EFL learners during task-based interaction. These learners worked
in mixed and matched gender dyads on four collaborative ...
