The aim of this research was to analyze the rich, complex, interrelated relationship that could possibly be established between the Teaching for Understanding framework, pedagogical proposal belonging to Project Zero ...
Unprepared to Deal with Invasion: Pre-Service Teachers’ Perception, Knowledge and Attitudes toward Invasive Species
(MDPI, 2020-12-16)
The serious and growing impacts of invasive alien species (IAS) on the planet make it necessary to include this issue with greater determination in educational programs, with the aim of generating citizens capable of dealing ...
Pharmacological Ablation of Astrocytes Reduces Aβ Degradation and Synaptic Connectivity in an Ex Vivo Model of Alzheimer’s Disease
(Springer, 2021-03-17)
BackgroundAstrocytes provide a vital support to neurons in normal and pathological conditions. In Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains, reactive astrocytes have been found surrounding amyloid plaques, forming an astrocytic scar. ...

Characterisation of the volatile profile of microalgae and cyanobacteria using solid-phase microextraction followed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry
(Nature Research, 2022-03)
[EN] Microalgae and microalgae-derived ingredients are one of the top trends in the food industry. However, consumers' acceptance and purchase intention of a product will be largely affected by odour and flavour. Surprisingly, ...
Potential Tear Biomarkers for the Diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease—A Pilot Study
(MDPI, 2022-01-13)
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer’s disease. In this study, the tear proteome profile of patients with idiopathic PD (iPD, n = 24), carriers of the E46K-SNCA ...
Physics-based dynamic model for reversible liquid-to-liquid heat pump systems. Development, validation and simulation with different systems, time-scales, operation conditions and working mode switch
(2020-01-28)
In order to develop new HPs, there are two important aspects. The improvement of the components and the improvement of the joint system. The components would improve by optimizing geometrical parameters and materials, among ...
Characterizing Subsurface Rectangular Tilted Heat Sources Using Inductive Thermography
(MDPI, 2020-08-06)
In this study, we characterize the lateral dimension, depth, and inclination of buried tilted rectangular heat sources from time domain temperature data measured at the surface. The heat sources are representative for ...
