Study of the influence of reutilization ionic liquid on lignin extraction
(Elsevier, 2015-04-09)
The development of green techniques for biomass processing and fractionation is crucial from the point of view of sustainability and environmental protection. Lignin is the second most abundant bio-renewable material on ...
Spin transport enhancement by controlling the Ag growth in lateral spin valves
(IOP publishing, 2015-04-21)
The role of the growth conditions onto the spin transport properties of silver (Ag) have been studied by using lateral spin valve structures. By changing the deposition conditions of Ag from polycrystalline to epitaxial ...
Polymorphisms in miRNA processing genes and their role in osteosarcoma risk
(Wiley, 2015-02-07)
Background
The possible associations between genetic variants and osteosarcoma risk have been analyzed without conclusive results. Those studies were focused mainly on genes of biologically plausible pathways. However, ...
Design and implementation of a cloud computing adoption decision tool: Generating a cloud road
(Public Library of Science, 2015-07-31)
Migrating to cloud computing is one of the current enterprise challenges. This technology provides a new paradigm based on "on-demand payment" for information and communication technologies. In this sense, the small and ...
Potential relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms used in forensic genetics and diseases or other traits in European population
(Springer, 2015-03-13)
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are an interesting option to facilitate the analysis of highly degraded DNA by allowing the reduction of the size of the DNA amplicons. The SNPforID 52-plex panel is a clear example ...
Promoting psychosocial adaptation of youths in residential care through animal-assisted psychotherapy
(Elsevier, 2015-10-09)
The goal of this study was to examine the influence of animal-assisted psychotherapy (AAP) on the psychosocial adaptation of a group of adolescents in residential care who had suffered traumatic childhood experiences and ...
Genetic Variants in MiRNA Processing Genes and Pre-MiRNAs Are Associated with the Risk of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
(Public Library Science, 2015-03-20)
Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several low-penetrance susceptibility alleles in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Nevertheless, these studies scarcely study regions that are implicated in non-coding ...
The CODATwins Project: The Cohort Description of Collaborative Project of Development of Anthropometrical Measures in Twins to Study Macro-Environmental Variation in Genetic and Environmental Effects on Anthropometric Traits
(2015-05-27)
For over 100 years, the genetics of human anthropometric traits has attracted scientific interest. In particular,
height and body mass index (BMI, calculated as kg/m2) have been under intensive genetic research.
However, ...
