Macromolecular diffusion in crowded media beyond the hard-sphere model
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018-03-20)The effect of macromolecular crowding on diffusion beyond the hard-core sphere model is studied. A new coarse-grained model is presented, the Chain Entanglement Softened Potential (CESP) model, which takes into account the ... -
Map-based zonal dosage strategy to control yellow spider mite (Eotetranychus carpini) and leafhoppers (Empoasca vitis & Jacobiasca lybica) in vineyards
(Elsevier, 2021)The particularly high incidence of yellow spider mite and leafhoppers in southern European viticulture means that between 1 and 4 interventions are required each year for their effective control. In vineyards with spatial ... -
Materials and system requirements of high temperature thermal energy storage systems: A review. Part 2: thermal conductivity enhancement techniques
(Elsevier, 2016)This review is focused on the study of the requirement of high thermal conductivity of thermal energy storage (TES) materials and the techniques used to enhance it as this is one of the main obstacles to achieve full ... -
Maximizing the information obtained from chamber-based greenhouse gas exchange measurements in remote areas
(Elsevier, 2018)Measurements of greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes, particularly methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) in mountain ecosystems are scarce due to the complexity and unpredictable behavior of these gases, in addition to the remoteness ... -
Measurement of enthalpy curves of phase change materials via DSC and T-History: When are both methods needed to estimate the behaviour of the bulk material in applications?
(Elsevier, 2014)Thermal energy storages (TES) based on solid–liquid phase change materials (PCM) use the latent heat of the phase transition from solid to liquid and vice versa. The enthalpy change within application relevant temperature ... -
Measuring user relevance in online debates through an argumentative model
(Elsevier, 2020)Online debating forums are important social media for people to voice their opinions and engage in debates with each other. Measuring user relevance on these forums can be useful to identify different user profiles or ... -
Mechanical response evaluation of microcapsules from different slurries
(Elsevier, 2016)Thermal energy storage (TES) is one method to accumulate thermal energy. In TES, latent heat storage using phase change materials (PCM) has attracted a lot of interest, recently. Phase change slurries (PCS) consist on a ... -
Mechanisms of silver nanoparticle toxicity to the coastal marine diatom Chaetoceros curvisetus
(Springer Nature, 2017-09-07)Inputs of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to marine waters continue to increase yet mechanisms of AgNPs toxicity to marine phytoplankton are still not well resolved. This study reports a series of toxicity experiments on a ... -
Mercury species export from the Arctic to the Atlantic Ocean
(Elsevier, 2020-09-10)The Fram Strait is the only deep connection between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans. The main water and mercury (Hg) fluxes between these oceans occur via the Fram Strait and Barents Sea Opening. Several Hg mass balance ... -
Mesophyll diffusion conductance to CO 2: An unappreciated central player in photosynthesis
(Elsevier, 2012-11)Mesophyll diffusion conductance to CO 2 is a key photosynthetic trait that has been studied intensively in the past years. The intention of the present review is to update knowledge of g m, and highlight the important ... -
Metabolic adaptations in spontaneously immortalized PGC-1α knock-out mouse embryonic fibroblasts increase their oncogenic potential
(Elsevier, 2020-01-01)PGC-1α controls, to a large extent, the capacity of cells to respond to changing nutritional requirements and energetic demands. The key role of metabolic reprogramming in tumor development has highlighted the potential ... -
Metabolic engineering of plant secondary products: which way forward?
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2013)Secondary products are small molecular weight compounds produced by secondary metabolic pathways in plants. They are re- garded as non-essential for normal growth and development but often confer benefits such as defense ... -
Metabolomic and lipidomic profiling identifies the role of the RNA editing pathway in endometrial carcinogenesis
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017)Endometrial cancer (EC) remains the most common malignancy of the genital tract among women in developed countries. Although much research has been performed at genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic level, there is still ... -
Meteorological conditions and site characteristics driving edible mushroom production in Pinus pinaster forests of Central Spain
(Elsevier, 2016)Integrating fungal-based ecosystem services into forest management planning and policy-making requires quantitative knowledge of the yields of fungal sporocarps and their environmental drivers. The aim of this study was ... -
Methanogenesis in animals with foregut and hindgut fermentation: a review
(CSIRO Publishing, 2019-02-10)Methane is the main greenhouse gas contributor to global warming in the livestock sector; it is generated by anaerobic fermentation in the different sections of the gut, and differs significantly among species. Methane is ... -
Methodologies to estimate industrial waste heat potential by transferring key figures: a case study for Spain
(Elsevier, 2016)In the current European energy context, the use of recovered industrial waste heat provides an attractive opportunity to substitute primary energy consumption by a low-emission and low-cost energy carrier. In the case of ... -
Mice fed on a diet enriched with genetically engineered multivitamin corn show no sub-acute toxic effects and no sub-chronic toxicity
(Wiley-BlackwellJohn Wiley & Sons, 2012-12)Multivitamin corn is a novel genetically engineered variety that simultaneously produces high levels of beta-carotene, ascorbate and folate, and therefore has the potential to address simultaneously multiple micronutrient ... -
Model predictive control strategy applied to different types of building for space heating
