On flexible hydropower and security of supply: Spain beyond 2020
(Elsevier, 2020)
Generation adequacy is a key ingredient to security of electricity supply (SoS). Some national plans envisage a future decrease in the number of coal-fired stations and an increase in renewable installed capacity. This ...
A game theory model to explore the role of cooperation and diversity in community food security: the case of Southern Malawi
(Springer-Verlag GmbH, 2020)
The Sustainable Development Goals aim at ending food insecurity by 2030. Therefore, civil society needs to understand the inherent complexities of both socio-economic and ecological dynamics and their interdependencies. ...
Theoretical approach to atomic-scale nanoplasmonics as probed by light and swift electrons
(2021-05-06)
This thesis tackles the theoretical description of atomic-scale features in plasmonic nanostructures asprobed by light and swift electrons. Plasmonic nanostuctures are known to localize and enhanceelectromagnetic fields ...
Relationship of Weather Types on the Seasonal and Spatial Variability of Rainfall, Runoff, and Sediment Yield in the Western Mediterranean Basin
(MDPI, 2020-06-09)
Rainfall is the key factor to understand soil erosion processes, mechanisms, and rates. Most research was conducted to determine rainfall characteristics and their relationship with soil erosion (erosivity) but there is ...
A Novel Vibrational Spectroscopy Using Spintronic-Plasmonic Antennas: Magneto-Refractive Surface-Enhanced Infrared Absorption
(American Institute of Physics, 2021-02-21)
We present experimental and theoretical results of the molecular sensing performance of a novel platform based on magnetic modulation of surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy. For this, we study the effect that ...
Additive and Emergent Catalytic Properties of Dimeric Unnatural Amino Acid Derivatives: Aldol and Conjugate Additions.
(Wiley, 2021-11-11)
[EN]Different densely substituted L- and D-proline esters were prepared by asymmetric (3+2) cycloaddition reactions catalyzed by conveniently selected EhuPhos chiral ligands. The gamma-nitro-2-alkoxycarbonyl pyrrolidines ...
Guidelines for small ruminant production systems under climate emergency in Europe
(SMALL RUMINANT RESEARCH, 2020)
Projected climate change will involve an additional threat for the sustainability of small ruminant production systems in Europe. Aiming to understand its implications, we conducted a literature review on climate change ...
Plant functional and taxonomic diversity in European grasslands along climatic gradients
(Wiley, 2021-05)
Aim European grassland communities are highly diverse, but patterns and drivers of their continental-scale diversity remain elusive. This study analyses taxonomic and functional richness in European grasslands along ...
Effect of the crystallization conditions on the exclusion/inclusion balance in biodegradable poly(butylene succinate-ran-butylene adipate) copolymers
(ACS, 2020-07-14)
Biomedical applications of polymers require precise control of the solid-state structure, which is of particular interest for biodegradable copolymers. In this work, we evaluated the influence of crystallization conditions ...
The potential land requirements and related land use change emissions of solar energy
(Nature, 2021-02-03)
Although the transition to renewable energies will intensify the global competition for land, the potential impacts driven by solar energy remain unexplored. In this work, the potential solar land requirements and related ...
