Double layers in gravity theories
(IOP Publishing, 2015)
Gravitational double layers, unlike their classical electromagnetic counterparts, are thought to be forbidden in gravity theories. It has been recently shown, however, that they are feasible in, for instance, gravity ...
Reduced antioxidant defense in early onset first-episode psychosis: a case-control study
(BioMed Cental, 2011)
Background
Our objective is to determine the activity of the antioxidant defense system at admission in patients with early onset first psychotic episodes compared with a control group.
Methods
Total antioxidant status ...
Faculty Preferences for Training Modalities on ICTs
(Universidad del País Vasco / Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea, 2011)
[En] The goal of this research is twofold: firstly, to identify the possible differences in faculty's attitudes toward and use of new technological resources; and secondly, to identify the educational interaction established ...
Influence of the conductor temperature error on the overhead line ampacity monitoring systems
(The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2011-04)
Many real time overhead line ampacity monitoring systems are based on the calculation of the wind speed. The wind speed is obtained from the conductor temperature. The conductor temperature can be measured directly or it ...
Mechanisms of action of Methylthioadenosine: pathways implicated in neuroprotection in models of Multiple Sclerosis and other neurological diseases
(BioMed Central, 2010-11-25)
Background
Methylthioadenosine (MTA) has anti-oxidant and anti-proliferative properties and was shown to induce cell protection in hepatic cells. We previously demonstrated that exert immunomodulatory and neuroprotective ...
Spatial Distribution of Biomass and Woody Litter for Bio-Energy in Biscay (Spain)
(MDPI, 2018-05)
Forest management has been considered a subject of interest, because they act as carbon (C) sinks to mitigate CO2 emissions and also as producers of woody litter (WL) for bio-energy. Overall, a sustainably managed system ...
Visual Outcomes and Management After Corneal Refractive Surgery: a Review
(Elsevier, 2018-06)
Corneal refractive surgery procedures are widely performed to permanently correct refractive errors. Overall, refractive surgeries are safe, predictable and present high rates of satisfaction. Nevertheless, the induced ...
Familial Hypercholesterolemia: The Most Frequent Cholesterol Metabolism Disorder Caused Disease
(MDPI, 2018-11-01)
Cholesterol is an essential component of cell barrier formation and signaling transduction involved in many essential physiologic processes. For this reason, cholesterol metabolism must be tightly controlled. Cell cholesterol ...
Organic-Acid Mediated Bulk Polymerization of e-Caprolactam and Its Copolymerization with e-Caprolactone
(Wiley, 2016-03-09)
Polyamides (PA) constitute one of the most important
classes of polymeric materials and have gained strong
position in different areas, such as textiles, fibers, and construction
materials. Whereas most PA are synthesized ...
Room temperature synthesis of non-isocyanate polyurethanes (NIPUs) using highly reactive N-substituted 8-membered cyclic carbonates
(RSC, 2016-02-16)
There is a growing interest to develop green synthetic pathways towards industrially relevant polymers
such as polyurethanes without the use of toxic and dangerous isocyanate monomers. The most promising
route towards ...
