Identifying a green infrastructure to prioritise areas for restoration to enhance the landscape connectivity and the provision of ecosystem services
(Springer Nature, 2023-11)
Introduction
Habitat fragmentation is one of the major causes of the loss of biodiversity that our planet is experiencing. This has affected the ecosystems functioning and, consequently, the provision of ecosystem ...
Health financing policies during the COVID-19 pandemic and implications for universal health care: a case study of 15 countries
(Elsevier, 2023-12)
Background The COVID-19 pandemic was a health emergency requiring rapid scal resource mobilisation to support national responses. The use of e ective health nancing mechanisms and policies, or lack thereof, a ected the ...
Pharmaceutical residues in stranded dolphins in the Bay of Biscay
(Elsevier, 2023-11-17)
There is a growing concern about the presence of pharmaceuticals on all trophic levels of the 3 aquatic environment. The presence of pharmaceuticals in the marine environment, which is the 4 final receiver of the continental ...
Fostering intercultural competence in a university classroom: working on historical empathy through the work the thing around your neck by Chimamanda Ngozi Aadichie
(Universidad de Jaen, 2022-07-15)
Historical empathy is defined as the process of cognitive and affective commitment that students acquire with historical figures to understand their experiences, decision-making and actions. Historical empathy involves ...
Loop decay in Abelian-Higgs string networks
(APS. American Physical Society, 2021-08-16)
We study the decay of cosmic string loops in the Abelian-Higgs model. We confirm earlier results that loops formed by intersections of infinite strings formed from random-field initial conditions disappear quickly, with ...
Electrochemical hydrogenation of NO and CO: Differences and similarities from a computational standpoint
(Elsevier, 2023-12)
Electrolyzers can help in restoring the balance to the biogeochemical cycles of carbon and nitrogen while producing valuable chemical compounds. Before that happens on a global scale, various hurdles need to be overcome, ...
Biodegradable polyesters with potential applications in 3D printing: structure, morphology and crystallization
(2023-10-09)
En este trabajo se han estudiado varios sistemas basados en poliésteres con el objetivo de ampliar su conocimiento y difundir su uso. La familia de poliésteres más investigada en esta tesis es la de los polihidroxialcanoatos ...
Dynamic wavelet correlation analysis for multivariate climate time series
(Scientific Reports, 2020)
The wavelet local multiple correlation (WLMC) is introduced for the first time in the study of climate dynamics inferred from multivariate climate time series. To exemplify the use of WLMC with real climate data, we analyse ...
Environmental risk assessment of PPP application in European soils and potential ecosystem service losses considering impacts on non-target organisms
(Elsevier, 2023-11)
The use of Plant Protection Products (PPPs) is leading to high exposure scenarios with potential risk to soil organisms, including non-target species. Assessment of the effects of PPPs on non-target organisms is one of the ...
High-temperature microstructure evolution of an advanced intermetallic nano-lamellar γ-TiAl-based alloy and associated diffusion processes
(Elsevier, 2023-12)
Nano-lamellar advanced γ-TiAl based alloys doped with small amounts of C and Si are being developed to improve the creep resistance in order to increase the performances of this kind of alloys applied in the low-pressure ...
