Marine infectious disease dynamics and outbreak thresholds: contact transmission, pandemic infection, and the potential role of filter feeders
(Wiley, 2016-04)
Disease-causing organisms can have significant impacts on marine species and communities. However, the dynamics that underlie the emergence of disease outbreaks in marine ecosystems still lack the equivalent level of ...
Experimental Study of the Response of Efficient Lighting Technologies to Complex Voltage Fluctuations
(Elsevier, 2014-07-09)
The replacement of incandescent lamps with more energy-efficient lighting technologies has a direct influence on the way flicker is measured. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) established in the 61000-4-15 ...
Cyclotryptophan Mycotoxins: Short Synthesis of the Desymmetrized meso-Chimonantine Core of Leptosin C
(Georg Thieme, 2016-12-01)
The desymmetrized meso-chimonantine core of leptosin C was prepared in a short stereoselective convergent sequence in 5 steps as the longest linear path from methyl l-tryptophan hydrochloride as starting material. The key ...
The role of the design and operation of individual heating systems for the energy retrofits of residential buildings
(Elsevier, 2016-10-15)
he feasibility of individual natural gas fired boiler-based heating systems in the retrofitting of buildings constructed in the 50–60 s in Bilbao (northern Spain) is evaluated in this paper. A holistic approach through ...

Purpose To identify myocardial sympathetic denervation patterns suggestive of Lewy body (LB) pathology in patients with genetic and idiopathic parkinsonisms by 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy. Methods We ...
Reputation features for trust prediction in social networks
(Elsevier, 2015-05-08)
Trust prediction in Social Networks is required to solve the cold start problem, which consists of guessing a Trust value when the truster has no direct previous experience on the trustee. Trust prediction can be achieved ...
Invariant-Free Clausal Temporal Resolution
(Springer, 2011-12-02)
Resolution is a well-known proof method for classical logics that is well suited for mechanization. The most fruitful approach in the literature on temporal logic, which was started with the seminal paper of M. Fisher, ...
Energy and economic assessment of the envelope retrofitting in residential buildings in Northern Spain
(Elsevier, 2014-10-18)
In this paper, potential energy savings by implementing different energy saving methods to enhance the building envelope are presented and calculated through transient simulations using TRNSYS software. To do that, a ...
