Sex-Specific Genetic Effects Associated with Pigmentation, Sensitivity to Sunlight, And Melanoma in a Population of Spanish Origin
(Biomed Central, 2016-03-18)
Background: Human pigmentation is a polygenic quantitative trait with high heritability. In addition to genetic factors, it has been shown that pigmentation can be modulated by oestrogens and androgens via up-or down-regulation ...
GqqA, a Novel Protein in Komagataeibacter Europaeus Involved in Bacterial Quorum Quenching and Cellulose Formation
(Biomed Central, 2016-05-24)
Background: We report on the functional screening and identification of an active quorum quenching (QQ) gene in the Komagataeibacter europaeus strain CECT 8546, which is a member of the acetic acid bacteria (AAB).

The Ceramic Murals of the AP-2 Motorway
(2016-09-22)
In the year 1976, the company "Patronato de Autopistas del Ebro", organized a competition to produce twelve large format ceramic murals which can be seen at the Service Stations of the AP-2 motorway. The axis of the theme ...
Michael initiated organocatalytic cascade reactions
(2016-07-20)
The methodologies based on Michael initiated cascade reactions represent avery useful synthetic strategy for the formation of complex compounds, startingfrom simple substrates and using straightforward procedures. In this ...

(Emerald, 2016-01)
[EN] Purpose of the paper - This research analyzes the impact of three types of embedded ties, namely, specialized complementary resources, idiosyncratic investments, and knowledge sharing, on the innovation capacity of ...
Intercultural Management and Leadership in the Context of Language Academies
(2016-01-15)
Throughout this undergraduate thesis, a study of intercultural management and leadership will be carried out with a special focus on language academies. We begin by analyzing the importance of cultural values and their ...
Lithium and Palladium mediated cyclization reactions towards the stereocontrolled synthesis of (hetero)benzo-fused indolizidines
(2016-03-18)
The research work described in this thesis is focused on the use of lithium and palladium mediated cyclization reactions for the stereocontrolled synthesis of (hetero)benzo-fused indolizidines through carbon-carbon bond ...
Mechanistic Insights in the Mode of Action of Bifunctional Pyrrolidine-Squaramide-derived Organocatalysts
(Wiley-VCH, 2016)
The modes of catalytic action of three squaramide-derived
bifunctional organocatalysts have been investigated using DFT
methods. The [5+2] cycloaddition between oxidopyrilium ylides and
enals has been used as model ...
Organocatalytically Generated Donor − Acceptor Cyclopropanes in Domino Reactions. One-Step Enantioselective Synthesis of Pyrrolo[1,2 ‑ a ]quinolines
(American Chemical Society, 2016-03-18)
An easy and straightforward procedure has been developed for the synthesis of highly enantioenriched pyrrolo-[1,2-a]quinolines through a one-pot process that comprises a domino cyclopropane ring opening/aza-Michael/aldol ...
Observation of a charge delocalization from Se vacancies in Bi2Se3: A positron annihilation study of native defects
(APS, 2016-07-27)
[EN] By means of positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy, we have investigated the native defects present in Bi2Se3, which belongs to the family of topological insulators. We experimentally demonstrate that selenium ...
