Prenatal exposure to mixtures of phthalates and phenols and body mass index and blood pressure in Spanish preadolescents
(Elsevier, 2022-11)
Background: Pregnant women are simultaneously exposed to several non-persistent endocrine-disrupting chem-icals, which may influence the risk of childhood obesity and cardiovascular diseases later in life. Previous prospective ...
The association between maternal ultra-processed food consumption during pregnancy and child neuropsychological development: A population-based birth cohort study
(Elsevier, 2022-10)
Background & aims: Maternal ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption during pregnancy may adversely affect child development. Pregnancy sugar-sweetened beverage consumption (as a part of UPF) has been associated with child ...
How different are objective operationalizations of walkability for older adults compared to the general population? A systematic review
(BMC, 2022)
Background: Walking is an essential activity for everyone and for older adults in particular, given that it is the most accessible form of physical activity and one of the healthiest transportation modes. Understanding how ...
Influence of Ni and Process Parameters in Medium Mn Steels Heat Treated by High Partitioning Temperature Q&P Cycles
(Springer, 2022-09)
In this work, two medium Mn steels (5.8 and 5.7 wt pct Mn) were subjected to a quenching and partitioning (Q&P) treatment employing a partitioning temperature which corresponded to the start of austenite reverse transformation ...
Serum vascular endothelial growth factor b and metabolic syndrome incidence in the population based cohort Di@bet.es study
(SpringerNature, 2022)
Background/Objectives Although vascular endothelial growth factor b (VEGFb) might have an impact on the development of obesity, diabetes and related disorders, the possible relationship between VEGFb serum levels and the ...
Unraveling the role of the thermal and laser impacts on the blackening of cinnabar in the mural paintings of Pompeii
(Springer, 2022-10-27)
The blackening of red cinnabar (α-HgS) pigment has traditionally been explained by its conversion into black metacinnabar (β-HgS). Scarce is however the scientific evidence that supports this hypothesis in polychrome ...
Compositionally and density stratified igneous terrain in Jezero crater, Mars
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2022)
Before Perseverance, Jezero crater's floor was variably hypothesized to have a lacustrine, lava, volcanic airfall, or aeolian origin. SuperCam observations in the first 286 Mars days on Mars revealed a volcanic and intrusive ...
Ambient air pollution and thyroid function in Spanish adults. A nationwide population-based study (Di@bet.es study)
(BMC, 2022)
Background Recent reports have suggested that air pollution may impact thyroid function, although the evidence is still scarce and inconclusive. In this study we evaluated the association of exposure to air pollutants to ...
Surface Nucleation of Dispersed Droplets in Double Semicrystalline Immiscible Blends with Different Matrices
(Wiley, 2022-11)
When a minor semicrystalline phase is dispersed in an immiscible blend with another polymer in the form of isolated droplets, its crystallization behavior is dominated by nucleation. In particular, nucleation can occur in ...
Using Successive Self-nucleation and Annealing (SSA) to detect the solid-solid transitions in poly (hexamethylene carbonate) and poly (octamethylene carbonate)
(ACS, 2021-10-26)
Solid-solid transitions in poly (hexamethylene carbonate) (PC6) and poly (octamethylene carbonate) (PC8), denoted δ to α transition, have been investigated, using self-nucleation and Successive Self-nucleation and Annealing ...
