Decarbonizing household heating: reviewing demographics, geography and low-carbon practices and preferences in five European countries
(Elsevier, 2021)What commonalities are there in sustainable or unsustainable heating practices in five high-income, high-emitting western European countries? What preferences do a nationally representative sample of the public in these ... -
Decision support tools and strategies to simulate forest landscape evolutions integrating forest owner behaviour: a review from the case studies of the European Project, INTEGRAL
(MDPI, 2017-04-13)For forest sustainability and vulnerability assessment, the landscape scale is considered to be more and more relevant as the stand level approaches its known limitations. This review, which describes the main forest ... -
Decompositions of a rectangle into non-congruent rectangles of equal area
(Elsevier, 2021-06)In this paper, we deal with a simple geometric problem: Is it possible to partition a rectangle into k non-congruent rectangles of equal area? This problem is motivated by the so-called 'Mondrian art problem' that asks a ... -
Detection of silver nanoparticles in seawater at ppb levels using UV-visible spectrophotometry with long path cells
(Elsevier, 2017-03-01)Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are emerging contaminants that are difficult to detect in natural waters. UV-visible spectrophotometry is a simple technique that allows detection of AgNPs through analysis of their characteristic ... -
Determinants of grassland primary production in seasonally-dry silvopastoral systems in Central America
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2014-06-03)Grassland primary productivity is the function that underpins the majority of the fodder production in cattle-rearing silvopastoral farms. Hence, understanding the factors that determine grassland productivity is critical ... -
Determination of carotenoids by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry: effect of several dopants
(Springer Verlag, 2011)Various carotenoids were analyzed by ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry detection (UHPLC-MS/MS). Three different techniques to ionize the carotenoids were compared: electrospray ionization ... -
Development and experimental validation of a transient 2D numeric model for radiant walls
(Elsevier, 2018-01)An experimental set-up consisting of a house like cubicle exposed to outdoor weather was used to validate a numerical model of a radiant wall. The 2D transient finite volume model used as inputs the indoor temperature, ... -
Development of a SCAR marker and a strain-specific genomic marker for the detection of the biocontrol agent strain CPA-8 Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (formerly B. subtilis)
(WileyAssociation of Applied Biologists, 2016)In this work, reliable tools were developed to detect and identify the biocontrol strain CPA-8 using DNA amplification techniques. As a first approach, the RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) technique was applied ... -
Development of a sequential workflow based on LC-PRM for the verification of endometrial cancer protein biomarkers in uterine aspirate samples
(Impact Journals, 2016)About 30% of endometrial cancer (EC) patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage of the disease, which is associated with a drastic decrease in the 5-year survival rate. The identification of biomarkers in uterine aspirate ... -
Development of a Small Solar Thermal Power Plant for Heat and Power Supply to Domestic and Small Business Buildings
(ASME, 2018)The small solar thermal power plant is being developed with funding from EU Horizon 2020 Program. The plant is configured around a 2-kWel Organic Rankine Cycle turbine and solar field, made of Fresnel mirrors. The solar ... -
Developmental patterns and rates of organogenesis across modern and well-adapted wheat cultivars
(Elsevier, 2021-04-12)Genetic gains in wheat yield are required to meet future demand. In order to design strategic crosses, it is essential to quantify the genetic variation among elite cultivars on traits responsible for the adaptation and ... -
Differential expression of LIM-Homeodomain factors in Cajal-Retzius cells of primates, rodents, and birds
(Oxford Journals, 2010)Reelin-expressing Cajal-Retzius (CR) cells are among the earliest generated cells in the mammalian cerebral cortex and are believed to be crucial for both the development and the evolution of a laminated pattern in the ... -
Disaggregation of SMOS soil moisture to 100m resolution using MODIS optical/thermal and sentinel-1 radar data: evaluation over a bare soil site in morocco
(MDPI, 2017)The 40 km resolution SMOS (Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity) soil moisture, previously disaggregated at a 1 km resolution using the DISPATCH (DISaggregation based on Physical And Theoretical scale CHange) method based on ... -
Dissolution and phosphate-induced transformation of ZnO nanoparticles in synthetic saliva probed by AGNES without previous solid-liquid separation. Comparison with UF-ICP-MS
(American Chemical Society, 2019-02-26)The variation over time of free Zn2+ ion concentration in stirred dispersions of ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) prepared in synthetic saliva at pH 6.80 and 37 degrees C was followed in situ (without solid liquid separation ... -
Dissolution Kinetics and Solubility of ZnO Nanoparticles Followed by AGNES
(American Chemical Society, 2012)There is a current debate on whether the toxicity of engineered ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) can be traced back to their nanoscale properties or rather to the simple fact of their relatively high solubility and consequent ... -
Distributed and self-adaptive microfluidic cell cooling for CPV dense array receivers
(AIP Publishing, 2017-09-01)Temperature non uniformities of the CPV receivers lead to mismatch losses. In order to deal with this issue, a cooling device, formed by a matrix of microfluidic cells with individually variable coolant flow rate, has been ... -
Divergence and Poincare-Liapunov constants for analytic differential systems
(Elsevier, 2015)We consider a planar autonomous real analytic differential system with a monodromic singular point p. We deal with the center problem for the singular point p. Our aim is to highlight some relations between the divergence ... -
Diversifying sub-Mediterranean pinewoods with oak species in a context of assisted migration: responses to local climate and light environment
