Modelling and Simulation of ERTMS for Current and Future Mobile Technologies
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2015-11-23)
Nowadays, train control in-lab simulation tools play a crucial role in reducing extensive and expensive on-site railway testing activities. In this paper, we present our contribution in this arena by detailing the internals ...
Ichnotaxonomic Review of Large Ornithopod Dinosaur Tracks: Temporal and Geographic Implications
(Public Library Science, 2015-02-12)
Background
Large ornithopod tracks are known from the Upper Jurassic to the uppermost Cretaceous rocks of all continents but Antarctica. They include the tracks historically called Iguanodon footprints, iguanodontid ...
Proteomic Analysis of the Ubiquitin Landscape in the Drosophila Embryonic Nervous System and the Adult Photoreceptor Cells
(Public Library Science, 2015-10-13)
Background
Ubiquitination is known to regulate physiological neuronal functions as well as to be involved in a number of neuronal diseases. Several ubiquitin proteomic approaches have been developed during the last ...
Pharmacological Blockade of Cannabinoid CB1 Receptors in Diet-Induced Obesity Regulates Mitochondrial Dihydrolipoamide Dehydrogenase in Muscle
(Public Library Science, 2015-12-15)
Cannabinoid CB1 receptors peripherally modulate energy metabolism. Here, we investigated the role of CB1 receptors in the expression of glucose/pyruvate/tricarboxylic acid (TCA) metabolism in rat abdominal muscle. ...
Dipeptidyl-Peptidase IV Activity Is Correlated with Colorectal Cancer Prognosis
(Public Library Science, 2015-03-19)
Background
Dipeptidyl-peptidase IV (EC 3.4.14.5) (DPPIV) is a serine peptidase involved in cell differentiation, adhesion, immune modulation and apoptosis, functions that control neoplastic transformation. Previous ...

(Pensoft Publishers, 2015)
Two new species of the genus Zospeum Bourguignat, 1856 are described from caves in the Sierra de Aitzgorri (Gipuzkoa) and the Sierra Salvada (Burgos) in Northern Spain. The taxa Z. vasconicum sp. n. and Z. zaldivarae sp. ...
Efficient Synthesis of Single-Chain Polymer Nanoparticles via Amide Formation
(Hindawi Publishing, 2015)
Single-chain technology (SCT) allows the transformation of individual polymer chains to folded/collapsed unimolecular soft nanoparticles. In this work we contribute to the enlargement of the SCT toolbox by demonstrating ...

Background:: The Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine - Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT) is officially released in English and Spanish. In the Basque Autonomous Community two languages, Spanish and Basque, are official. The ...
Lethal Interpersonal Violence in the Middle Pleistocene
(Public Library Science, 2015-05-27)
Evidence of interpersonal violence has been documented previously in Pleistocene members of the genus Homo, but only very rarely has this been posited as the possible manner of death. Here we report the earliest evidence ...
