Ceramide 1-phosphate (C1P) induces macrophage chemoattractant protein-1 release: involvement in C1P-stimulated cell migration.
(American Physiological Society, 2013-06)
The bioactive sphingolipid ceramide 1-phosphate (C1P) is implicated in inflammatory responses, and was recently shown to promote cell migration. However, the mechanisms involved in these actions are poorly described. Using ...
Parametric study of the operational and economic feasibility of Stirling micro-cogeneration devices in Spain
(Elsevier, 2013-12-19)
This paper analyses the operational and economic viability of Stirling engine-run micro-cogeneration units in single-family houses in Spain. Thermal demands for the reference dwelling, sited in three different and ...
Development and comparative analysis of the modeling of an innovative finned-plate latent heat thermal energy storage system
(Elsevier, 2013-09-01)
This paper presents an innovative finned-plate latent heat thermal energy storage system for its integration in cogeneration systems. For optimization purposes it is very important to maximize the efficiency of the ...
Anxiety and depression among caregivers of patients with eating disorders and their change over 1 year
(Springer, 2013-02-15)
Purpose. Limited data are available on the difficulties experienced over time by caregivers of patients eating disorders (CPED). The aim of this study was to describe changes in anxiety and depression among such caregivers ...
An Evaluation of Methods for Estimating the Number of Local Optima in Combinatorial Optimization Problems
(MIT Press, 2013-11-01)
[EN] The solution of many combinatorial optimization problems is carried out by metaheuristics, which generally make use of local search algorithms. These algorithms use some kind of neighborhood structure over the search ...
Angle of loll calculation by cubic spline
(Spanish Society of Maritime Research (SEECMAR), 2013)
Several years ago the Basque Government supported the programming of the software ARKITSAS in order to provideall existing vessels with a specific software to calculate stability, cargo and longitudinal strength data. The ...
Effect of the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 on lignin depolymerization
(Elsevier, 2013-05)
Lignin is a good candidate for photocatalytic cracking due to the presence of hydroxyl groups. The photocatalytic cracking reaction involves TiO2 as heterogeneous catalyst.
In the present work lignin obtained by two ...
Diagnosing the traffic impact on roadside soils through a multianalytical data analysis of the concentration profiles of traffic-related elements
(2013-05-16)
The road traffic has become one of the most serious environmental problems in many cities and the main source of pollution of urban soils. To diagnose properly the magnitude of such impacts on roadside soils, eight urban ...
Design and implementation of a droop control in d-q frame for islanded microgrids
(The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2013-09-01)
The droop control method is usually selected when several distributed generators (DGs) are connected in parallel forming an islanded microgrid. This is because of the advantages it offers such as flexibility, absence of ...
Effect of CdSe nanoparticle addition on nanostructuring of PS-b-P4VP copolymer via solvent vapour exposure
(Elsevier, 2013-10-28)
The surface morphology of poly(styrene-b-4 vinyl pyridine) (PS-b-P4VP) diblock copolymer thin films
after solvent vapor annealing has been studied. Morphological features can be switched upon exposure
to vapors of a ...
