Comparative Analysis of Web of Science and Scopus on the Energy Efficiency and Climate Impact of Buildings
(MDPI, 2020)Although the body of scientific publications on energy efficiency and climate mitigation from buildings has been growing quickly in recent years, very few previous bibliometric analysis studies exist that analyze the ... -
Spatio‐temporal patterns of tree growth as related to carbon isotope fractionation in European forests under changing climate
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2019-06-07)Aim The aim was to decipher Europe‐wide spatio‐temporal patterns of forest growth dynamics and their associations with carbon isotope fractionation processes inferred from tree rings as modulated by climate warming. Location ... -
Growth, wood anatomy and stable isotopes show species-specific couplings in three Mexican conifers inhabiting drought-prone areas
(Elsevier, 2019-08-22)An improved understanding of how tree species will respond to warmer conditions and longer droughts requires comparing their responses across different environmental settings and considering a multi-proxy approach. We used ... -
Effect of fertilising with pig slurry and chicken manure on GHG emissions from Mediterranean paddies
(Elsevier, 2016-06-24)Soil fertilisation affects greenhouse gas emissions. The objective of this study was to compare the effect of different fertilisation strategies on N2O, CH4 emissions and on ecosystem respiration (CO2 emissions), during ... -
Cellular bases of the RNA metabolism dysfunction in motor neurons of a murine model of spinal muscular atrophy: Role of Cajal bodies and the nucleolus
(Elsevier, 2017)Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is caused by a homozygous deletion or mutation in the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene that leads to reduced levels of SMN protein resulting in degeneration of motor neurons (MNs). The best ... -
Morphological and Structural Evaluation of Hydration/Dehydration Stages of MgSO4 Filled Composite Silicone Foam for Thermal Energy Storage Applications
(MDPI, 2020)Salt hydrates, such as MgSO4·7H2O, are considered attractive materials for thermal energy storage, thanks to their high theoretical storage density. However, pure salt hydrates present some challenges in real application ... -
Recent loss of sensitivity to summer temperature constrains tree growth synchrony among boreal Eurasian forests
(Elsevier, 2019-02-01)High-latitude terrestrial ecosystems are crucial to the global climate system and its regulation by vegetation. Since productivity of boreal forests is much limited by low summer temperatures, it is expected that trees ... -
Using unmanned aerial vehicle‐based multispectral, RGB and thermal imagery for phenotyping of forest genetic trials: A case study in Pinus halepensis
(Association of Applied Biologists, 2019-02-19)The assessment of genetic differentiation in functional traits is fundamental towards understanding the adaptive characteristics of forest species. While traditional phenotyping techniques are costly and time‐consuming, ... -
Fruit detection and 3D location using instance segmentation neural networks and structure-from-motion photogrammetry
(Elsevier, 2020-01-02)The development of remote fruit detection systems able to identify and 3D locate fruits provides opportunities to improve the efficiency of agriculture management. Most of the current fruit detection systems are based on ... -
Phenotypic integration and life history strategies among populations of Pinus halepensis: an insight through structural equation modelling
(Oxford University Press, 2019-05-22)Background and Aims: Understanding inter-population variation in the allocation of resources to specific anatomical compartments and physiological processes is crucial to disentangle adaptive patterns in forest species. ... -
Tourist hot spots in cities with the highest murder rates
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-01-10)Social networks have facilitated access to the spatial location of user-generated images and this has permitted studies of the spatial distribution of tourist images. To date, however, most studies have tended to focus on ... -
The fate of Fusarium mycotoxins (deoxynivalenol and zearalenone) through wort fermenting by Saccharomyces yeasts (S. cerevisiae and S. pastorianus)
(Elsevier, 2019-07-29)The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of 15 commercial yeasts in the mitigation of the Fusarium mycotoxins deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEN) during the brewing process. Saccharomyces strains (10 strains ... -
Differences in the perception of urban space via mental maps and Heart Rate Variation (HRV)
(Elsevier, 2019-11-01)The main objective of this research was to compare the perceptions that people have of urban space via two different types of approach. We contrasted results obtained using a subjective approach: mental maps, with a more ... -
Approach for the analysis of TES technologies aiming towards a circular economy: case study of building-like cubicles
(Elsevier, 2020)The objective of this study is to establish an initial framework to evaluate and improve the sustainability of technologies integrating thermal energy storage to come closer to a circular economy. This is applied to a case ... -
Building thermal storage technology: Compensating renewable energy fluctuations
(Elsevier, 2020)Emerging technologies and new intelligent management systems will be needed to rise to the energy challenges posed by buildings today. Thermally activated building systems (TABS) are attracting growing interest on the back ... -
Sustainable adobe bricks with seagrass fibres. Mechanical and thermal properties characterization
(Elsevier, 2020)There is an incipient necessity and interest of generating sustainable materials for application in green buildings. In this study, the capability of Posidonia Oceanica seagrass, a biomass by-product from the Mediterranean ... -
Glial activation and central synapse loss, but not motoneuron degeneration, are prevented by the sigma-1 receptor agonist PRE-084 in the Smn2B/- mouse model of spinal muscular atrophy
(American Association of Neuropathologists, 2018)Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is characterized by the loss of α-motoneurons (MNs) with concomitant muscle denervation. MN excitability and vulnerability to disease are particularly regulated by cholinergic synaptic afferents ... -
Localization and dynamic changes of neuregulin-1 at C-type synaptic boutons in association with motor neuron injury and repair
(Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, 2019)C-type synaptic boutons (C-boutons) provide cholinergic afferent input to spinal cord motor neurons (MNs), which display an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)–related subsurface cistern (SSC) adjacent to their postsynaptic membrane. ... -
