The use of steelmaking slags and fly ash in structural mortars
(Elsevier, 2016-03)
The main objective of this work is to produce structural slag mortars of good mechanical strength and workability, while reducing the consumption of Portland clinker, the production of which is a growing source of environmental ...
The three lives of viral fusion peptides
(Elsevier, 2014-04)
Fusion peptides comprise conserved hydrophobic domains absolutely required for the fusogenic activity of glycoproteins from divergent virus families. After 30 years of intensive research efforts, the structures and functions ...
The question of linguistic minorities and the debates on cultural sovereignt
(Intellect Ltd, 2019)
When observing certain global debates in recent decades on the defence of national cultural and linguistic spaces, one finds what seems to be a paradox: states that were historically constructed by homogenizing cultures ...
The synergistic effects of the RGD density and the microenvironment on the behavior of encapsulated cells: In vitro and in vivo direct comparative study
(John Wiley & Sons, 2014-11)
The inclusion of the tripeptide RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) in otherwise inert biomaterials employed for cell encapsulation has been observed to be an effective strategy to provide the immobilized cells with a more suitable ...
Primary and Secondary Students’ Understanding of the Rainfall Phenomenon and Related Water Systems: a Comparative Study of Two Methodological Approaches
(Springer, 2019-03-21)
[EN]Rainfall is a key process in the water cycle, the most structured scientific knowledge about water movement on Earth. Nevertheless, despite being a common topic covered in school science, it entails several cognitive ...
Two different incorporation routes of cellulose nanocrystals in waterborne polyurethane nanocomposites
(Elsevier, 2016-03)
The renewability, availability and low-cost of eco-friendly cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), have gaining attention for nanocomposites preparation due to their unique properties in the nanoscale and their water dispersibility, ...
Behavioral problems and depressive symptomatology as predictors of child-toparent violence
(Elsevier, 2014-07)
[EN]The number of complaints filed by parents against their children nationwide has increased dramatically, particularly since 2005. The aim of this study was to examine whether young offenders who had been charged for ...
Thermal Stability of Endohedral First-Row Transition-Metal TM@ZniSi Structures, i = 12, 16
(ACS, 2011-03-31)
The thermal stability of first-row transition-metal-doped TM@ZniSi nanoclusters, in which TM stands for the first-row transition metals from Sc to Zn and i = 12, 16, has been analyzed for the two lowest-lying spin states ...
From classical to nonparametric growth models: Towards comprehensive modelling of mussel growth patterns
(Elsevier, 2017-03-18)
Understanding biological processes, such as growth, is crucial to development management and sustainability plans for bivalve populations. Von Bertalanffy and Gompertz models have been commonly used to fit bivalve growth. ...
Integrating Formative Feedback in Introductory Programming Modules
(IEEE, 2018-02-12)
Introductory programming modules are challenging for both lecturers and students. In previous works, the authors have carried out educational innovations to mitigate these challenges and facilitate learning. This paper ...
