Cosmological Perturbations in Phantom Dark Energy Models
(MDPI, 2017-03-06)
The CDM paradigm, characterised by a constant equation of state w = -1 for dark energy, is the model that better fits observations. However, the same observations strongly support the possibility of a dark energy content ...
Formation of Surface and Quantum-Well States in Ultra Thin Pt Films on the Au(111) Surface
(MDPI, 2017-12-09)
The electronic structure of the Pt/Au(111) heterostructures with a number of Pt monolayers n ranging from one to three is studied in the density-functional-theory framework. The calculations demonstrate that the deposition ...
The Mimetic Born-Infeld Gravity: The Primordial Cosmos and Spherically Symmetric Solutions
(MDPI, 2017-11-27)
The Eddington-inspired-Born-Infeld (EiBI) model is reformulated within the mimetic approach. In the presence of a mimetic field, the model contains non-trivial vacuum solutions. We study a realistic primordial vacuum ...
Ab-initio theoretical study of electronic excitations and optical properties in nanostructures
(2017-07-21)
La miniaturización de los dispositivos electrónicos para la transferencia de información y procesado de señales ha impulsado el estudio de las propiedades electrónicas y la dinámica de excitaciones electrónicas en ...
A redox-active radical as an effective nanoelectronic component: stability and electrochemical tunnelling spectroscopy in ionic liquids
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-10-28)
A redox-active persistent perchlorotriphenylmethyl (PTM) radical chemically linked to gold exhibits stable electrochemical activity in ionic liquids. Electrochemical tunnelling spectroscopy in this medium demonstrates that ...
1st International Conference on Engineering Education for the XXI Century – New competences on Engineering Education in the area of sustainability and university social responsibility
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2017)
The conference is co-organised by the Jaume I University in Castellón (UJI) and the University of the Basque Country (UPV-EHU) and is intended as a forum for the exchange of ideas, opinions and experiences and debate on ...
Heroes gone Psycho: interrogational torture in post-9/11 Television Fiction
(2017-09-07)
This dissertation analyzes the recurrent presence of ¿torturer-heroes¿ in post-9/11 television series and tries to ascertain whether these shows serve the agenda of legitimizing the use of interrogational torture that was ...
Osteopontin: a key regulator of liver lipid metabolism
(2016-04-25)
Osteopontin deficiency protects from obesity-related hepatosteatosis and liver fibrosis. Here we have investigated the role of osteopontin as a direct regulator of liver metabolism and whether osteopontin could be a ...
Relapse patterns and outcome after relapse in standard risk medulloblastoma: a report from the HIT-SIOP-PNET4 study
(Springer, 2016-09)
The HIT-SIOP-PNET4 randomised trial for standard risk medulloblastoma (MB) (2001-2006) included 338 patients and compared hyperfractionated and conventional radiotherapy. We here report the long-term outcome after a median ...
Designing multifunctional pigments for an improved energy efficiency in buildings
(Elsevier, 2017-07-15)
Materials science offers solutions that when are combined can offer important energy savings in the building sector. In this study, high reflectance coating and thermal storage capacity are combined with the aim of improving ...
