The Role of Microplastics in Marine Pathogen Transmission: Retrospective Regression Analysis, Experimental Design, and Disease Modelling
(MDPI, 2022-11-30)
Marine wildlife and aquaculture species can accumulate large amounts of marine microplastic debris (MMD) (<1 mm) carrying pathogens, thus threatening the health of marine ecosystems and posing a risk to food safety and ...
Modelling the Effect of the Interaction between Vaccination and Nonpharmaceutical Measures on COVID-19 Incidence
(Cambridge University Press, 2022-03-31)
Since December 2019, the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread rapidly from Wuhan (China) across the globe, affecting more than 200 countries by mid-2021, with over 190M reported ...
Gamifying Physics Laboratory Work Increases Motivation and Enhances Acquisition of the Skills Required for Application of the Scientific Method
(MDPI, 2023-03-14)
Although increasing student motivation is widely accepted to enhance learning outcomes, this relationship has scarcely been studied quantitatively. Therefore, this study aimed to address this knowledge gap by exploring the ...
Optimisation of lignin liquefaction with polyethylene glycol/ glycerol through response surface methodology modelling
(Elsevier, 2023-08)
In order to diminish the dependence on oil lignin, which is the most abundant biopolymer of phenolic origin on Earth and can be utilised in different industrial endeavours, such as, the production of polyurethanes. In this ...
Analytics of type IIB flux vacua and their mass spectra
(Springer, 2023-01)
We analyze the tree-level potential of type IIB flux compactifications in warped Calabi-Yau orientifolds, in regions of weak coupling and moderately large complex structure. In this regime, one may approximate the flux-induced ...
Dinosaur swim tracks from the Lower Cretaceous of La Rioja, Spain: An ichnological approach to non-common behaviours
(Elsevier, 2023-07)
The reconstruction of behavioural patterns performed by non-avian dinosaurs is an important task of palaeontology in order to globally understand how these animals interacted with their environment. Their relation with ...
Traditional Medicinal Uses of the Eurasian Wild Grapevine in the Iberian Peninsula
(Consejo Superior Investigaciones Cientificas-Csic, 2020)
The Iberian Peninsula constitutes the Western limit of the dioecious Eurasian wild grapevine (Vitis vinifera L. subsp. sylvestris). At present, it is a threatened plant, due to human impacts. This liana has had different ...
Invariant-Based Inverse Engineering for Fast and Robust Load Transport in a Double Pendulum Bridge Crane
(MDPI, 2020-03-18)
We set a shortcut-to-adiabaticity strategy to design the trolley motion in a double-pendulum bridge crane. The trajectories found guarantee payload transport without residual excitation regardless of the initial conditions ...
Facilitators and barriers to participation in population-based colorectal cancer screening programme from the perspective of healthcare professionals: Qualitative research study
(Wiley, 2021-11)
Objective High participation determines the success of colorectal cancer screening programmes in reducing incidence and mortality. The factors that determine participation must be studied from the perspective of professionals ...
Galernas: A history of coastally trapped disturbances (2003−2020) with hidden frontogenesis in the Bay of Biscay
(Elsevier, 2023-01)
Galerna is the term accepted for an abrupt westerly change that affects the north coast of Spain. The wind surge travels from the mid-north coast of Spain to France, generally reaching their maximum intensity at the Basque ...
