Valuing nature’s contributions to people: the IPBES approach
(Elsevier, 2017-06)
Nature is perceived and valued in starkly different and often conflicting ways. This paper presents the rationale for the inclusive valuation of nature's contributions to people (NCP) in decision making, as well as broad ...
Smart Grid Applications for a Practical Implementation of IP over Narrowband Power Line Communications
(MDPI, 2017-11-06)
Abstract
Currently, Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) systems have equipped the low voltage section with a communication system that is being used mainly for metering purposes, but it can be further employed for ...
Geoarchaeological Core Prospection as a Tool to Validate Archaeological Interpretation Based on Geophysical Data at the Roman Settlement of Auritz/Burguete and Aurizberri/Espinal (Navarre)
(MDPI, 2017-10-13)
Geophysical survey methods are broadly used to delimit and characterize archaeological sites, but the archaeological interpretation of geophysical data remains one of the challenges. Indeed, many scenarios can generate a ...
Phantom Membrane Microfluidic Cross-Flow Filtration Device for the Direct Optical Detection of Water Pollutants
(Elservier, 2017-11-06)
The diffusion of autonomous sensing platforms capable of a remote large-scale surveillance of environmental water basins is currently limited by the cost and complexity of standard analytical methods. In order to create a ...
Poly(ionic Liquid) Thermo-responsive Hydrogel Microfluidic Actuators
(2017-03-14)
tributylhexyl phosphonium sulfopropylacrylate (PSPA) poly(ionic liquid) (PILc) hydrogels as temperature controlled actuators in microfluidic devices. The hydrogel size is modulated by localised changes in its temperature ...
A Proposal for a Formula of Absolute Pole velocities between Relative Poles
(Elsevier, 2017-04-10)
In this paper is proposed a vectorial equation that relates the absolute pole velocities of three moving rigid
bodies with a planar motion of general type. From this equation, it is possible to obtain a relation between ...
Gene Expression Study and Pathway Analysis of Histological Subtypes of Intestinal Metaplasia that Progress to Gastric Cancer
(Public Library Science, 2017-04-25)
Background
Intestinal metaplasia (IM) is a precursor lesion that precedes gastric cancer (GC). There are two IM histological subtypes, complete (CIM) and incomplete (IIM), the latter having higher progression rates to ...
Control Distribution of Partially Decoupled Multi-level Manipulators with 5 DOFs
(Cambridge University Press, 2017-02-01)
Multi-level manipulators are those mechanisms in which two or more levels,
that de ne the main chain of the manipulator, are joined in parallel to
each other. Besides, each level is linked to the base in parallel by ...
Evaluación de características psicológicas implicadas en el desempeño de jóvenes gestores deportivos
(Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Comunidad Virtual Ciencias del Deporte; Red Iris, 2017-06)
[EN] The purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychological characteristics
involved in the performance of a group of young sport managers. To identify the
psychological variables, an analytical procedure of an ...
The role of acetaldehyde in the increased acceptance of ethanol after prenatal ethanol exposure
(Merce Correa, Jaume I University, Spain, 2017-01-31)
Recent studies show that acetaldehyde, the first metabolite in the oxidation of ethanol, can be responsible for both, the appetitive and the aversive effects produced by ethanol intoxication. More specifically, it has been ...
