Explaining Public-Private Partnership Projects through Political Factors: An Assessment of Developing Countries
(Sage, 2021-09-13)
This paper analyses the effect of political factors on the use of PPPs in developing countries. According to a sample of 80 low- and middle-income countries over the period 1995-2017, our findings suggest that PPP projects ...
Analysing the link between corruption and PPPs in infrastructure projects: an empirical assessment in developing countries
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-10-21)
This study analyses the relationship between Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) and corruption. To do this, several econometric analyses were developed using a sample of 92 low- and middle-income countries over the period ...
Effect of public–private partnership projects on inequality in developing countries
(Taylor & Francis, 2023-11-01)
This study examines the effect of public-private partnerships (PPPs) on income inequality, focusing on economic infrastructures. For that, we use a sample composed of data from 38 low- and middle-income countries over the ...
Effect of privatisation on income inequality: A European analysis
(Springer Nature, 2020-06-15)
This study analyses the link between privatisation reforms and income inequality on a sample of 25 European countries between 2003 and 2013. Previous literature has related privatisations with the level of poverty, welfare, ...
Efficacy of the combination of amphotericin B and echinocandins against Candida auris in vitro and in the Caenorhabditis elegans host model
(American Society of Microbiology, 2024-01)
The multidrug-resistant Candida auris is a global health emergency, being responsible for outbreaks of invasive candidiasis worldwide. Limited effective therapeutic options make it difficult to treat this emerging pathogen. ...
Conditions for the joint conversion of CO2 and syngas in the direct synthesis of light olefins using In2O3−ZrO2/SAPO-34 catalyst
(ACS, 2021-11-09)
The conditions for promoting the joint conversion of CO2 and syngas in the direct synthesis of light olefins have been studied. In addition, given the relevance for the viability of the process, the stability of the ...

Testing a vaccine candidate against Hepatitis C virus designed by combinatorial optimization
(Nature, 2023)
This paper presents a new procedure for vaccine design against highly variable viruses such as Hepatitis C. The procedure uses an optimization algorithm to design vaccines that maximize the coverage of epitopes across ...
Diagnosis of the health status of mooring systems for floating offshore wind turbines using autoencoders
(Elsevier, 2023-11)
Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) show promise in terms of energy production, availability, and sustainability, but remain unprofitable due to high maintenance costs. This work proposes a deep learning algorithm to ...
Kinetic modeling and reactor design of the direct synthesis of dimethyl ether for CO2 valorization. A review
(Elsevier, 2022-08-04)
The direct synthesis of dimethyl ether (DME) is considered one of the most attractive routes for valorizing CO2 and syngas on a large scale. DME has a high cetane number and its properties are similar to those of liquefied ...
