Foliar heavy metals and stable isotope (delta C-13, delta N-15) profiles as reliable urban pollution biomonitoring tools
(Elsevier, 2021-01)
Anthropogenic heavy metal pollution is an important health issue in urban areas, and therefore rapid and inexpensive monitoring in time and space is desirable. This study aimed (i) to assess the suitability of Tilia cordata ...
The solubility of helium in lead-lithium eutectic alloy
(Elsevier, 2022-06)
[EN] The helium production rates in liquid metals (Pb-Li eutectic alloy, LLE and others) Blanket Breeders (BB) are nearly mol-to-mol linked to tritium and intimately associated with the compulsory requirement of high tritium ...
Use of DMPSA nitrification inhibitor and no-tillage systems to enhance agricultural sustainability: effect on soil nitrogen gaseous emissions and bacterial populations
(2021-06-23)
El incremento de la presión alimentaria como consecuencia del aumento y desarrollo de la población haobligado a una intensificación de la agricultura. La necesidad de aplicar fertilizantes nitrogenados para obtener mayores ...
An Overview of Adipose Tissue ACE2 Modulation by Diet and Obesity. Potential Implications in COVID-19 Infection and Severity
(MDPI, 2021-07-26)
The present review is aimed at analysing the current evidence concerning the potential modulation of obesity and/or diet in adipose tissue ACE2. Additionally, the potential implications of these effects on COVID-19 are ...
Fabrication Quality Assessment Based on the Coupling of a Dual-Core Microstructured Polymer Optical Fiber
(MDPI, 2021-11-09)
In this paper we report on the theoretical analysis and fabrication of a dual-core microstructured polymer optical fiber (mPOF) and demonstrate how the coupling characteristics of a dual-core mPOF may be a key factor to ...
Molecular Recognition, Transient Chirality and Sulfur Hydrogen Bonding in the Benzyl Mercaptan Dimer
(MDPI, 2021-10-26)
The homodimers of transiently chiral molecules offer physical insight into the process of molecular recognition, the preference for homo or heterochiral aggregation and the nature of the non-covalent interactions stabilizing ...
In vivo multimodal imaging of adenosine A2A receptors after experimental stroke
(2021-12-03)
[EN] Ischemic stroke is an acute cerebrovascular disease characterised by a cascade of pathological events including excitotoxicity, inflammation and cellular death. Ischemia also leads to an increase of the concentrations ...
Coupled-core fiber Bragg gratings for low-cost sensing
(Nature Research, 2022)
[EN] Sensors based on Bragg gratings inscribed in conventional single mode fibers are expensive due to the need of a sophisticated, but low-speed, interrogation system. As an alternative to overcome this issue, in this ...
Anharmonic effects in thermoelectric and 2D materials
