Early Functional Deficit and Microglial Disturbances in a Mouse Model of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
(Public Library of Science, 2012-04-25)
Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by selective motoneurons degeneration. There is today no clear-cut pathogenesis sequence nor any treatment. However growing ...
Metabolic efficiency with fast spiking in the squid axon
(Frontiers, 2012-11-15)
Fundamentally, action potentials in the squid axon are consequence of the entrance of sodium ions during the depolarization of the rising phase of the spike mediated by the outflow of potassium ions during the hyperpolarization ...
The impacts of leadership in the quality of municipal public services: case study of a portuguese municipal council
(Instituto de Economía Aplicada a la Empresa de la Universidad del País Vasco, 2012)
[EN]The present research work, based on some of the components of the Common Assessment Framework, sets to analyse the influence held by leadership in specific factors that constitute the organisational climate, and also ...
Influence of Training Set Selection in Artificial Neural Network-Based Propagation Path Loss Predictions
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2012)
This paper analyzes the use of artificial neural networks (ANNs) for predicting the received power/path loss in both outdoor and indoor links. The approach followed has been a combined use of ANNs and ray-tracing, the ...
Virtual Reconstruction of the Ancient State of a Ruined Church
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2012-11)
[EN] Three dimensional virtual models can represent both the existing and the already destroyed architectural heritage. This project deals with the 3D reconstruction and representation of the church of San Prudencio's ...

(Instituto de Economía Aplicada a la Empresa de la Universidad del País Vasco, 2012)
[EN] The increasing interest in eco-innovation or environmental innovation as a strategy not only to address the serious global environmental problems but also as a source of competitive advantages for companies and for ...
Technology Outlook as a tool for the management of innovation
(Instituto de Economía Aplicada a la Empresa de la Universidad del País Vasco, 2012)
[EN] The purpose of this paper is to present a theoretical overview of innovation management and the tools that can aid in this endeavour. The paper adopts a user-oriented description, aiming at making SMEs familiar with ...
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 ...
Subdiffusion of nonlinear waves in quasiperiodic potentials
(IOP Publishing, 2012-10-23)
We study the time evolution of wave packets in one-dimensional quasiperiodic lattices which localize linear waves. Nonlinearity (related to two-body interactions) has a destructive effect on localization, as observed ...
Robust speed control for a variable speed wind turbine
(ICIC International, 2012-11)
Modern wind turbines are designed in order to work in variable speed opera-tions. To perform this task, these turbines are provided with adjustable speed generators, like the double feed induction generator (DFIG). One of ...
