Quantum ricochets: surface capture, release and energy loss of fast ions hitting a polar surface at grazing incidence
(IOP Publishing, 2014-06-09)
A diffraction mechanism is proposed for the capture, multiple bouncing and final escape of a fast ion (keV) impinging on the surface of a polarizable material at grazing incidence. Capture and escape are effected by elastic ...
Characteristics of the sportsmanship and unsportsmanlike conduct evaluation tools in youth sport
(Elsevier, 2013)
[EN] In youth sport contexts, aggressiveness and violence constitute a deplorable social phenomenon. There are sportsmanlike
conducts as forms of alternatives to these types of behaviors. Specifically, the present paper ...
Enhanced Operation of Electricity Distribution Grids Through Smart Metering PLC Network Monitoring, Analysis and Grid Conditioning
(MDPI, 2013-01)
Low Voltage (LV) electricity distribution grid operations can be improved through a combination of new smart metering systems' capabilities based on real time Power Line Communications (PLC) and LV grid topology mapping. ...
First occurrence of Mosasauridae (Squamata) in the Maastrichtian (latest Cretaceous) of Alicante (Valencia Community, Eastern Spain)
(CSIC, 2013-01)
[EN] Although the mosasaurid genus
Prognathodon is known worldwide during the latest Cretaceous (Cam-panian-Maastrichtian), we report here its first occurrence in the Eastern area of the Iberian Peninsula. It was previously ...
Process management in healthcare.Sant Camil Hospital case study
(Escuela Universitaria de Estudios Empresariales, 2013)
Nowadays due to the crisis, some government measures are aimed at reducing healthcare spending, affecting in some level or another the quality offered. Process management is said to be a useful tool for reducing healthcare ...
Control of gene expression by modulated self-assembly
(Oxford University Press, 2011-09)
Numerous transcription factors self-assemble into different order oligomeric species in a way that is actively regulated by the cell. Until now, no general functional role has been identified for this widespread process. ...
Early astrocytic atrophy in the entorhinal cortex of a triple transgenic animal model of Alzheimer's disease
(Portland Press, 2011)
The EC (entorhinal cortex) is fundamental for cognitive and mnesic functions. Thus damage to this area appears as a key element in the progression of AD (Alzheimer's disease), resulting in memory deficits arising from ...
Cost effectiveness of a combination of instruments for global warming: a quantitative approach for Spain
(Springer, 2012-03)
Climate change is an important environmental problem and one whose economic implications are many and varied. This paper starts with the presumption that mitigation of greenhouse gases is a necessary policy that has to be ...
Multi-agent modelling for the simulation of a simple smart microgrid
(Elsevier, 2013-11)
The smart grid is a highly complex system that is being formed from the traditional power grid, adding new and sophisticated communication and control devices. This will enable integrating new elements for distributed power ...
Efficient Gate-tunable light-emitting device made of defective boron nitride nanotubes: from ultraviolet to the visible
(Nature Publishing Group, 2013-09)
Boron nitride is a promising material for nanotechnology applications due to its two-dimensional graphene-like, insulating, and highly-resistant structure. Recently it has received a lot of attention as a substrate to grow ...
