Studying in a 'multilingual university' at home or abroad: Perspectives of home and international students in the Basque Country, Catalonia and Wales
(John Benjamins, 2016)The relatively recent phenomenon of the internationalisation of higher education (HE) in European non-English speaking universities has resulted in more linguistically diverse student bodies and has forced universities in ... -
Are users' ratings on TripAdvisor similar to hotel categories in Europe?
(Universidad de Murcia, 2018-11-15)European countries do not have the same hotel classification system. Therefore, the criteria and requirements used to assign star ratings to hotels do not concur among the different countries. There have been some criticisms ... -
Violent aggression predicted by multiple pre-adult environmental hits
(Springer Nature, 2018-05-24)Early exposure to negative environmental impact shapes individual behavior and potentially contributes to any mental disease. We reported previously that accumulated environmental risk markedly decreases age at schizophrenia ... -
Contribution of the Five Factors of Personality and Peers on Adolescent Alcohol Use: A Cross-National Study
(Universidad Complutense de MadridColegio Oficial de Psicólogos de MadridCambridge University Press, 2018)Personality characteristics such as extraversion, low agreeableness and low conscientiousness are relevant for alcohol use during adolescence. In addition, having friends who use alcohol is one of the strongest predictors ... -
Integrable zero-Hopf singularities and 3-dimensional centers
(2018-01-25)In this paper we show that the well-known Poincaré-Lyapunov nondegenerate analytic center problem in the plane and its higher dimensional version expressed as the 3-dimensional center problem at the zero-Hopf singularity ... -
On bipartite-mixed graphs
(Wiley, 2018-04-04)Mixed graphs can be seen as digraphs that have both arcs and edges (or digons, that is, two opposite arcs). In this arti- cle, we consider the case where such graphs are bipartite. As main results, we show that in this ... -
Economic and environmental potential for solar assisted central heating plants in the EU residential sector: Contribution to the 2030 climate and energy EU agenda
(Elsevier, 2019)Aligning with the ambitious EU 2030 climate and energy package for cutting the greenhouse emissions and replacing conventional heat sources through the presence of renewable energy share inside efficient district heating ... -
Differential contribution of the two major polygalacturonases from Penicillium digitatum to virulence towards citrus fruit
(Elsevier, 2018-10)The fungus Penicillium digitatum is the causal agent of the citrus green mould, the major postharvest diseases of citrus fruit. Lesions on the surface of infected fruits first appear as soft areas around the inoculation ... -
On the multiple zeros of a real analytic function with applications to the averaging theory of differential equations
(IOP Publishing, 2018-11-21)In this work we consider real analytic functions $d(z,\la,\e)$, where $d : \Omega \times \mathbb{R}^p \times I \to \Omega$, $\Omega$ is a bounded open subset of $\R$, $I \subset \mathbb{R}$ is an interval containing the ... -
Cyclicity of polynomial nondegenerate centers on center manifolds
(Elsevier, 2018-11-09)We consider polynomial families of ordinary differential equations on $\R^3$, parametrized by the admissible coefficients, for which the origin is an isolated singularity at which the linear part of the system has one ... -
Biopreservation of fresh-cut pear using Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and effect on quality and volatile compounds
(Elsevier, 2018-01)In recent years, the consumption of minimally processed fruit has increased. However, unfortunately, these products could be an appropriate vehicle for the transmission of foodborne pathogens. In this study, the antagonistic ... -
Evaluation of biocontrol capacity of Pseudomonas graminis CPA-7 against foodborne pathogens on fresh-cut pear and its effect on fruit volatile compounds
(Elsevier, 2018)The application of microorganisms to control the growth of foodborne pathogens is an alternative to the use of chemical additives. In this work, Pseudomonas graminis CPA-7 was tested as a biocontrol agent against Salmonella ... -
Adipose TSHB in Humans and Serum TSH in Hypothyroid Rats Inform About Cellular Senescence
(Karger Publishers Open Access, 2018-11-18)Background/Aims: Thyroid hormones have been recently linked to senescence and longevity. Given the recent description of TSHB mRNA in human adipose tissue (AT), we aimed to investigate the relationship ... -
Comparison of different speciation techniques to measure Zn availability in hydroponic media
(Elsevier, 2018-12)Four analytical techniques are compared: AGNES (Absence of Gradients and Nernstian Equilibrium Stripping), LASV (Anodic Stripping Voltammetry with Linear stripping), DGT (Diffusive Gradients in Thin films) and PIM (Polymer ... -
Postharvest heat and CO2 shocks induce changes in cuticle composition and cuticle-related gene expression in 'October Sun' peach fruit
(Elsevier, 2019)Fruit cuticles influence greatly postharvest quality of produce. Yet, few published studies have addressed changes in cuticle composition and related gene expression from a postharvest perspective, particularly for fruit ... -
Genetic characterization of influenza A viruses circulating in pigs and isolated in north-east Spain during the period 2006-2007
(Elsevier, 2014)Swine influenza virus is one of the most important pathogens involved in the swine respiratory disease complex. Recent serological surveys showed a high prevalence of swine influenza strains belonging to the H1N1, H1N2 and ... -
Cross-species infectivity of H3N8 influenza virus in an experimental infection in swine
(American Society for Microbiology, 2015)Avian influenza A viruses have gained increasing attention due to their ability to cross the species barrier and cause severe disease in humans and other mammal species as pigs. H3 and particularly H3N8 viruses, are highly ... -
Fruiting efficiency differences between cereal species
(Elsevier, 2018)Grain number (GN) is critical for yield determination, and understanding its physiology may be instrumental to further improving yield. Studying similarities and differences in yield physiology among cereals may highlight ... -
Influence of the storage period between charge and discharge in a latent heat thermal energy storage system working under partial load operating conditions
(Elsevier, 2019)The supply intermittency of energy sources like solar energy or industrial waste heat should be properly addressed when studying latent heat thermal energy storage (TES) systems, since it might cause an incomplete ... -
A polymorphism in the fatty acid desaturase-2 gene is associated with the arachidonic acid metabolism in pigs
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-09-25)Arachidonic acid (C20:4) is related to a wide range of biological effects including lipid homeostasis. The fatty acid desaturase-2 (FADS2) gene encodes for the delta-6-desaturase, which is involved in the biosynthesis of ...
