A CRITICAL REVIEW of COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS for CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION in CITIES
(Climate Change Economics, 2019-11-01)
his study systematically reviews the scientific literature (n=56) on cost-benefit analysis (CBA) of adaptation measures in cities and similar urban environments. The review is conducted to assess existing or proposed actions ...
Comparative analysis of the socio-economic characteristics of Delta and Non-Delta spaces of Ghana: An input-output approach
(African Review of Economics and Finance, 2019-07-08)
This paper provides insights into the current socioeconomic and biophysical state of
the Volta Delta, Ghana. We employed non-survey methods, notably the Flegg Location
Quotient (FLQ) method of regionalization and ...
Are protected areas covering important biodiversity sites? An assessment of the nature protection network in Sicily (Italy)
(Land Use Policy, 2018-11-01)
GIS spatial analysis of three indicators (vegetation value, faunal richness and landscape heterogeneity) was used to detect and map High-Value Biodiversity Areas (HVBAs), estimate the coverage of biodiversity in the Sicilian ...
Serum Metabolites as Diagnostic Biomarkers for Cholangiocarcinoma, Hepatocellular Carcinoma, and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis
(Wiley, 2019-08)
Early and differential diagnosis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by noninvasive methods represents a current clinical challenge. The analysis of low-molecular-weight metabolites ...
Iruzurrezko portaeren detekzioa crowd motako etiketazioan
(Udako Euskal Unibertsitatea, 2019-05)
This work aims at detecting low quality labels in crowdsourcing annotation tasks. We validate our proposal carrying out experiments in a difficult and subjective task: emotion recognition. We have developed several measures ...

Effect of Chemical Structure and Salt Concentration on the Crystallization and Ionic Conductivity of Aliphatic Polyethers
(MDPI, 2019-03-09)
Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) is the most widely used polymer in the field of solid polymer electrolytes for batteries. It is well known that the crystallinity of polymer electrolytes strongly affects the ionic conductivity ...
CO2-sourced polycarbonates as solid electrolytes for room temperature operating lithium batteries
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-03-19)
In the last few years, polycarbonates have been identified as alternatives to poly(ethylene oxide) as polymer electrolytes for lithium battery applications. In this work, we show the design of CO2-sourced
polycarbonates ...
Opportunities for organocatalysis in polymer synthesis via step-growth methods
(Elservier, 2019-03-14)
Organocatalysis has emerged as an invaluable tool for polymer synthesis and has already demonstrated versatility for replacing organometallic catalysts in many polymerization reactions. The overall ease of removal and lower ...
