Experimental and numerical modeling of basalt textile reinforced mortar behavior under uniaxial tensile stress
(Elsevier, 2014-03-01)
During the last years several projects and studies have improved the knowledge about textile reinforced mortar (TRM) technology. TRM has already been used in strengthening masonry and reinforced concrete structural elements ...
Cryo-TEM assessment of droplet nucleation efficiency in hybrid acrylic/CeO2 semibatch miniemulsion polymerization
(ACS, 2014-11-26)
Monomer droplet nucleation has been successfully tracked in a seeded semibatch miniemulsion polymerization with miniemulsion feeding. Taking advantage of the marker capacity of CeO2 nanoparticles two polymerizations were ...
Applying GPR and Laser Scanner Techniques to Monitor the Ossoue Glacier (Pyrenees)
(Environmental and Engineering Geophysical Society, 2014-12-01)
The Ossoue glacier in the Vignemale massif (3,298 m) is currently the longest and second
largest of the Pyrenees (1,400-m length, 50-ha area), and the only one presenting glacier tongue
morphology. We describe 50 MHz ...
Glacial chronology, environmental changes and implications for human occupation during the upper Pleistocene in the eastern Cantabrian Mountains
(2014-10-14)
Interest in the evolution of Pleistocene glaciers, environmental change and human occupation in southern
Europe is now growing thanks to the availability of fresh dating in different mountains. The demise of Neanderthals
in ...
Hybrid acrylic/CeO2 nanocomposites using hydrophilic spherical and high aspect ratio CeO2 nanoparticles
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014-10-15)
A dispersion of CeO2 nanoparticles and nanorods stabilized with nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) and a 4,4′-azobis(4-cyanovaleric acid) (V-501) initiator has been used to initiate the emulsion polymerization of acrylic monomers, ...
Geomatics techniques applied to glaciers, rock glaciers, and icepatches in Spain (1991-2012)
(Published by Taylor & Francis on behalf of the Swedish Society for Anthropology and Geography, 2014)
At present there is a wide variety of geomatic
techniques available to determine the dynamics of glaciers,
rock glaciers and ice patches. Between 1991 and 2012, different
geomatic techniques – total station, global ...
Highly Luminescent and Optically Switchable Hybrid Material by One Pot Encapsulation of Dyes into MgAPO-11 Unidirectional Nanopores
(ACS, 2014-02-06)
In this work a highly fluorescent hybrid material with strong anisotropic response is obtained by “one-pot” synthesis. The system is based on the “in situ” encapsulation of two chromophores, Acridine (AC) and Pyronine Y ...
Hydrogen production by steam reforming of bio-oil/bio-ethanol mixtures in a continuous thermal-catalytic process
(Elsevier, 2014-04-24)
The feasibility of the steam reforming of bio-oil aqueous fraction and bio-ethanol mixtures has been studied in a continuous process with two in-line steps: thermal step at 300 ºC (for the controlled deposition of pyrolytic ...
Particle nucleation and growth in seeded semibatch miniemulsion polymerization of hybrid CeO2/acrylic latexes
(2014-02-12)
CeO2/acrylic hybrid coatings with high solids content and with nanoparticle percentages up to 5 wt% have been successfully synthesized by seeded semibatch miniemulsion polymerization process. The droplet nucleation efficiency ...
Transcriptomic profile reveals gender-specific molecular mechanisms driving multiple sclerosis progression
(Public Library Science, 2014-02-28)
Background: Although the most common clinical presentation of multiple sclerosis (MS) is the so called Relapsing-Remitting MS (RRMS), the molecular mechanisms responsible for its progression are currently unknown. To tackle ...
