Habitat fragmentation is linked to cascading effects on soil functioning and CO2 emissions in Mediterranean holm-oak-forests
(PeerJ, 2018)
We studied key mechanisms and drivers of soil functioning by analyzing soil respiration and enzymatic activity in Mediterranean holm oak forest fragments with different influence of the agricultural matrix. For this, ...
Valuing deaths or years of life lost? Economic benefits of avoided mortality from early heat warning systems
(Springer, 2018)
The study aims to explore the main drivers influencing the economic appraisal of heat warning systems by integrating epidemiological modelling and benefit-cost analysis. To shed insights on heat wave mortality valuation, ...
An Architecture for On-Line Measurement of the Tip Clearance and Time of Arrival of a Bladed Disk of an Aircraft Engine
(MDPI, 2017-10)
Safety and performance of the turbo-engine in an aircraft is directly affected by the health of its blades. In recent years, several improvements to the sensors have taken place to monitor the blades in a non-intrusive ...
Self-reported sitting time and physical activity: interactive associations with mental well-being and productivity in office employees
(Biomed Central, 2015-01-31)
Background: Little is known about how sitting time, alone or in combination with markers of physical activity (PA), influences mental well-being and work productivity. Given the need to develop workplace PA interventions ...
Synthesis of macrocyclic poly(ethylene oxide)s containing a protected thiol group: a strategy for decorating gold surfaces with ring polymers
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-12-21)
We introduce an approach to synthesize macrocyclic poly(ethylene oxide)s containing a pendant protected thiol group (pSH-CPEO), which is demonstrated to be able to attach to gold surfaces without prior deprotection. Our ...
Evaluation of Cu/SAPO-34 Catalysts Prepared by Solid-State and Liquid Ion-Exchange Methods for NOx Removal by NH3-SCR
(American Chemical Society, 2019-09-17)
Cu/SAPO-34 catalysts are prepared using solid-state ion exchange (SSIE) and liquid ion exchange (LIE). SSIE is conducted by calcining a physical mixture of H-SAPO-34 zeolite and CuO nanoparticles at elevated temperatures ...
Reproducibility dataset for a large experimental survey on word embeddings and ontology-based methods for word similarity
(Elsevier, 2019-10-26)
This data article introduces a reproducibility dataset with the aim of allowing the exact replication of all experiments, results and data tables introduced in our companion paper (Lastra-Diaz et al., 2019), which introduces ...
Organocatalyzed Polymerization of PET-mb-poly(oxyhexane) Copolymers and Their Self-Assembly into Double Crystalline Superstructures
(ACS Publications, 2019-08-30)
Double crystalline multi-block copolymers exhibit two well-defined melting temperatures associated with the two phases formed by their constituent blocks. The crystalline superstructure formed in these copolymers is complex ...
Pest consumption in a vineyard system by the lesser horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus hipposideros)
(Public Library of Science, 2019-07-18)
Herbivorous arthropods cause immense damage in crop production annually. Consumption of these pests by insectivorous animals is of significant importance to counteract their adverse effects. Insectivorous bats are considered ...
Complex Networks and Machine Learning: From Molecular to Social Sciences
(MDPI, 2019-11)
Combining complex networks analysis methods with machine learning (ML) algorithms have become a very useful strategy for the study of complex systems in applied sciences. Noteworthy, the structure and function of such ...
