Unraveling the role of the thermal and laser impacts on the blackening of cinnabar in the mural paintings of Pompeii
(Springer, 2022-10-27)
The blackening of red cinnabar (α-HgS) pigment has traditionally been explained by its conversion into black metacinnabar (β-HgS). Scarce is however the scientific evidence that supports this hypothesis in polychrome ...
Compositionally and density stratified igneous terrain in Jezero crater, Mars
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2022)
Before Perseverance, Jezero crater's floor was variably hypothesized to have a lacustrine, lava, volcanic airfall, or aeolian origin. SuperCam observations in the first 286 Mars days on Mars revealed a volcanic and intrusive ...
Ambient air pollution and thyroid function in Spanish adults. A nationwide population-based study (Di@bet.es study)
(BMC, 2022)
Background Recent reports have suggested that air pollution may impact thyroid function, although the evidence is still scarce and inconclusive. In this study we evaluated the association of exposure to air pollutants to ...
Surface Nucleation of Dispersed Droplets in Double Semicrystalline Immiscible Blends with Different Matrices
(Wiley, 2022-11)
When a minor semicrystalline phase is dispersed in an immiscible blend with another polymer in the form of isolated droplets, its crystallization behavior is dominated by nucleation. In particular, nucleation can occur in ...
Mind the map? Mapping the academic, citizen and professional stakeholder views on buildings and heating behaviour in Spain
(Elsevier, 2020)
The residential building sector is a major driver of current and future energy consumption and associated CO2 emissions. The main use of energy by households is for heating. Consumers heating behaviour results from the ...
Deciphering the impact of the mitochondrial negative regulator MCJ on host-microbiota interactions in experimental ulcerative colitis
(2021-10-29)
La colitis ulcerosa (CU) es un trastorno inflamatorio crónico que afecta al intestino. Aunque la causa es desconocida, es una enfermedad multifactorial que está desencadenada por el sistema inmune, factores medioambientales, ...
Impulse-control disorders in Parkinson's Disease: development of an animal model
(2020-11-12)
El objetivo de la presente tesis es el desarrollo de un modelo animal de parkinsonismo e impulsividad inducido por la administración del agonista dopaminérgico pramipexol (PPX).La enfermedad de Párkinson (EP) es una ...
Accounting for erroneous model structures in biokinetic process models
(Elsevier, 2020)
In engineering practice, model-based design requires not only a good process-based model, but also a good description of stochastic disturbances and measurement errors to learn credible parameter values from observations. ...
Using Successive Self-nucleation and Annealing (SSA) to detect the solid-solid transitions in poly (hexamethylene carbonate) and poly (octamethylene carbonate)
(ACS, 2021-10-26)
Solid-solid transitions in poly (hexamethylene carbonate) (PC6) and poly (octamethylene carbonate) (PC8), denoted δ to α transition, have been investigated, using self-nucleation and Successive Self-nucleation and Annealing ...
Neural correlates of impulse control disorder in Parkinson,s Disease: FMRI evidence from motor, inhibition and semantic domains.
(2022-05-16)
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder associated with aging. Approximately 40% of the PD patients treated with dopaminergic medication will develop Impulse Control Disorder (ICD). ...
