Pronounced northward shift of the westerlies during MIS 17 leading to the strong 100-kyr ice age cycles
(Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2019-10-01)
The MIS 17 interglacial, ~715 675 ka, marks the end of the Mid-Pleistocene Transition as intensified, long and asymmetrical 100-kyr ice age cycles became eminently established. Increasing arrival of moisture to the Northern ...
Hair cortisol determinants in 11-year-old children: Environmental, social and individual factors
(Elsevier, 2024-08)
Introduction
Children's exposure to chronic stress is associated with several health problems. Measuring hair cortisol concentration is particularly useful for studying chronic stress but much is unknown about hair ...
Non-destructive optical indices to estimate isoprenoids with nutritional value in packed rocket and spinach
(Elsevier, 2024-06)
The quantification of phytochemicals with nutritional benefits relies on accuracy yet time-consuming, expensive and destructive methodologies. In contrast, optical indices widely employed in disciplines such as ecology can ...
Ni supported on bioapatite for WGS: Improving catalyst stability and H2 selectivity by Pt-doping and thermochemical activation of the support
(Elsevier, 2024-05)
Catalytic properties of Ni and NiPt catalysts supported onto naturally derived hydroxyapatite (HAp) were investigated for the Water-Gas Shift (WGS) reaction in the 200–450 °C range. HAp was obtained by thermochemical ...
Genes involved in the adhesion and invasion of Arcobacter butzleri
(Elsevier, 2024-08)
Arcobacter butzleri is a foodborne pathogen that mainly causes enteritis in humans, but the number of cases of bacteraemia has increased in recent years. However, there is still limited knowledge on the pathogenic mechanisms ...
Parametric simulation tool for the enviro-economic evaluation of energy renovation strategies in residential buildings with life cycle thinking: PARARENOVATE-LCT
(Elsevier, 2024-06)
The EU regulations require long-term renovation strategies (LTRS) for the energy transition of the existing building stock, emphasising the importance of the whole-life carbon evaluation and the cost-effectiveness of the ...
Training Design, Performance Analysis, and Talent Identification—A Systematic Review about the Most Relevant Variables through the Principal Component Analysis in Soccer, Basketball, and Rugby
(MDPI, 2021-03-05)
Since the accelerating development of technology applied to team sports and its subsequent high amount of information available, the need for data mining leads to the use of data reduction techniques such as Principal ...
Using Ultra-Wide Band to Analyze Soccer Performance through Load Indicators during a Full Season: A Comparison between Starters and Non-Starters
(MDPI, 2022-12-10)
The objectives of this study are: (1) to compare match load demands through load indicators between starters and substitutes, and (2) analyze the degree of correlation in the variables analyzed in this investigation. ...
Strain Virtual Sensing Applied to Industrial Presses for Fatigue Monitoring
(MDPI, 2024-05-23)
The techniques that allow one to estimate measurements at the unsensed points of a system are known as virtual sensing. These techniques are useful for the implementation of condition monitoring systems in industrial ...
Influence of the cutting-edge preparation in ceramic tools for grooving of Inconel® 718 and force prediction
(Elsevier, 2024-06)
The machining of slots in aeronautical turbine cases and discs is an extremely delicate operation. First, these parts require materials with excellent wear, high temperature and corrosion properties, such as the low ...
