Global Assessment of the Cloud-Aerosol Transition Zone Using CALIPSO
The interactions between clouds and aerosols represent one of the largest uncertainties in assessing the Earth’s radiation budget, highlighting the importance of research on the transition zone (TZ) within the cloud-aerosol ...
Green public procurement on EU directive 2014/24: adoption effects of mandatory and voluntary transposition
Regulation is one of the most crucial factors for implementing Green Public Procurement (GPP). This study provides the first multi-country causal analysis of GPP adoption using contract-level data, leveraging the transposition ...
Intracranial self-stimulation mitigates spatial task deficits, modifies miR-146a and miR-495 serum levels and restores hippocampal NRF2 levels in a rat model of sporadic Alzheimer's disease
INTRODUCTION: A definitive diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) requires the identification of pathological changes. Plasma miRNAs have emerged as potential AD diagnostic biomarkers. METHODS: Amatched case-control study ...
Metallacarborane-functionalized graphene oxide as a recyclable UVC/UVA photocatalyst for micropollutant removal
This study reports the application of a metallacarborane-based photocatalyst for the removal of organic micropollutants in water. The anionic θ-cobaltacarborane salt H[3,3’-Co(1,2-C2B9H11)2] (abbreviated as H[1]) was ...
Active food packaging based on Pickering emulsions of essential oils stabilized by cationic cellulose nanofibers
Due to environmental concerns about non-biodegradability of conventional plastic packaging, there is a growing shift towards sustainable alternatives such as paper-based food packaging. In this context, Pickering emulsions ...
Efficient Adsorption of Lead on Hydro-Pyrochar Synthesized by Two-Step Conversion of Corn Cob in Magnesium Chloride Medium
This study used widely available waste biomass, corn cob (CC), to remove Pb ions from aqueous solutions. A two-step conversion of this material was carried out to improve its adsorption characteristics. Firstly, CC was ...
Characterisation of Cork Volatile Organic Compounds Using TD-GC-MS: Effects of Origin, Washing Process, and Thermal Processing of Cork Stoppers
This study presents a green and solvent-free methodology based on thermal desorption coupled to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (TD-GC-MS) to characterise cork's volatile aromatic (VOC) profile. Samples from three ...
Semi-algebraic geometry and generic Hamiltonian stability
The steepness property is a local geometric transversality condition on the gradient of a -function which proves fundamental in order to ensure the stability of sufficiently-regular nearly-integrable Hamiltonian systems ...
Photoinduced electron transfer enhances the tumor-targeted photodynamic activity of bombesin metallopeptides incorporating an Ir(III) complex and carboxyfluorescein
A primary objective of photodynamic therapy (PDT) is to develop tumor-targeted photosensitizers (PS) that enable selective cytotoxicity through preferential accumulation in cancer tissues and local activation by light. ...
Testing a bifactor model of the comprehensive assessment of acceptance and Commitment Therapy Processes (CompACT) in Finnish and British populations
Introduction: Psychological flexibility is a core concept in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, with several self-report instruments developed to measure it. One multidimensional measure is the Comprehensive Assessment of ...
Global and Regional Deep Learning Models for Multiple Sclerosis Stratification From MRI
Background: The combination of anatomical MRI and deep learning-based methods such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) is a promising strategy to build predictive models of multiple sclerosis (MS) prognosis. However, ...
Modelling cultural ecosystem services of river landscapes in the Iberian Peninsula with deep learning and social media images
Cultural Ecosystem Services (CES) are essential for human well-being, particularly those provided by river landscapes. Yet, CES remains overlooked in river conservation strategies due to its intangible nature and the ...
The multiomics blueprint of the individual with the most extreme lifespan
Extreme human lifespan, exemplified by supercentenarians, presents a paradox in understanding aging: despite advanced age, they maintain relatively good health. To investigate this duality, we have performed a high-throughput ...
Intracranial self-stimulation reverses impaired spatial learning and regulates serum microRNA levels in a streptozotocin-induced rat model of Alzheimer disease
Background: The assessment of deep brain stimulation (DBS) as a therapeutic alternative for treating Alzheimer disease (AD) is on-going. We aimed to determine the effects of intracranial self-stimulation at the medial ...
The Importance of Spaces at the University to Promote Learning Through the Body in Movement
This article aims to analyse the design of university educational spaces in relation to learning through the body in movement. It presents a qualitative study in which a total of 54 students from the teaching degree program ...
Innovation and creativity in the restaurant sector: a systematic review of artifacts
Purpose The restaurant sector faces increasing pressure to innovate in response to competitive, technological, and cultural shifts. Despite a growing body of research, theoretical fragmentation persists. This study aims ...
Blastocoel fluid aspiration improves vitrification outcomes and produces similar sexing results of in vitro-produced cattle embryos compared to microblade biopsy
The potential applications of in vitro-produced (IVP) cattle embryos are significantly enhanced when combined with genotype selection and cryopreservation techniques. While trophectoderm (TE) biopsies are frequently used ...
Polymer inclusion membrane (PIM) extraction technique for assessing metal interactions with organic pollutants and microplastics in aquatic systems
This study presents a novel approach for studying metal-contaminant interactions in aquatic environments, based on a polymer inclusion membrane (PIM) as extraction technique, for the divalent metal ions (Ni(II), Cu(II), ...
Investigating the impact of new technologies and organizational practices on operational performance: evidence from Spanish manufacturing companies
The purpose of this paper is to analyse if and to what extent the relation between implementing new technologies and organizational practices has a direct moderating effect on operational performance. Regression analysis ...
Downregulation of hepatic lipopolysaccharide binding protein improves lipogenesis-induced liver lipid accumulation
Circulating lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) is increased in individuals with liver steatosis. We aimed to evaluate the possible impact of liver LBP downregulation using lipid nanoparticle-containing chemically ...
