Transparent Glass-Ceramics Produced by Sol-Gel: A Suitable Alternative for Photonic Materials
(MDPI, 2018-01-30)
Transparent glass-ceramics have shown interesting optical properties for several photonic applications. In particular, compositions based on oxide glass matrices with fluoride crystals embedded inside, known as oxyfluoride ...
Human Early Life Exposome (HELIX) study: a European population-based exposome cohort
(BMJ, 2018-09)
Purpose Essential to exposome research is the collection of data on many environmental exposures from different domains in the same subjects. The aim of the Human Early Life Exposome (HELIX) study was to measure and describe ...
Modification of a Shockley-Type Surface State on Pt(111) upon Deposition of Gold Thin Layers
(MDPI, 2018-12-17)
We present a first-principles fully-relativistic study of surface and interface states in the n one monolayer (ML) Au/Pt(111) heterostructures. The modification of an unoccupied s - p -type surface state existing on a ...
High- fi delity non-adiabatic cutting and stitching of a spin chain via local control
(IOP Publishing, 2018-10-18)
We propose and analyze, focusing on non-adiabatic effects, a technique of manipulating quantum spin systems based on local 'cutting' and 'stitching' of the Heisenberg exchange coupling between the spins. This first operation ...
A new index of semantic short-term memory: Development and validation of the conceptual span task in Spanish
(Public Library Science, 2018-12-27)
Mounting evidence from both cognitive and neuropsychological research points to the importance of conceptual and lexical-semantic contributors to short-term memory performance. Nonetheless, a standardized and well-controlled ...
The metabolic regimes of 356 rivers in the United States
(Nature Publishing, 2018-12-11)
A national-scale quantification of metabolic energy flow in streams and rivers can improve understanding of the temporal dynamics of in-stream activity, links between energy cycling and ecosystem services, and the effects ...
Hesperidin and Capsaicin, But Not The Combination, Prevent Hepatic Steatosis and Other Metabolic Syndrome-Related Alterations in Western Diet-Fed Rats
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-10-10)
We aimed to assess the potential effects of hesperidin and capsaicin, independently and in combination, to prevent the development of obesity and its related metabolic alterations in rats fed an obesogenic diet. Three-month-old ...
Influence of PLA Filament Conditions on Characteristics of FDM Parts
(MDPI, 2018-08)
Additive manufacturing technologies play an important role in Industry 4.0. One of the most prevalent processes is fused deposition modelling (FDM) due to its versatility and low cost. However, there is still a lack of ...
Highlights of the 2nd International Symposium on Tribbles and Diseases: Tribbles Tremble in Therapeutics for Immunity, Metabolism, Fundamental Cell Biology and Cancer
(Institute of Materia Medica, 2019-03)
The Tribbles (TRIB) family of pseudokinase proteins has been shown to play key roles in cell cycle, metabolic diseases, chronic inflammatory disease, and cancer development. A better understanding of the mechanisms of TRIB ...
Airbnb Branding: Heritage as a Branding Element in the Sharing Economy
(MDPI, 2018-12-23)
The cultural heritage of cities has been proven to be a generator of economic activity and a singular place branding/marketing tool for territories. In addition, in recent times, there has been a boom in the collaborative ...
