(Un)Plugging smart cities with urban transformations: Towards multistakeholder city-regional complex urbanity?
(Universidad de Almería, 2016)The author argues that the development of the so-called buzzword smart city and its use in planning inner cities are intimately bound up with required current urban transformations. In this attempt to deconstruct or unplug ... -
Uncertainties in the Testing of the Coefficient of Thermal Expansion of Overhead Conductors
(MDPI, 2020-01-14)Overhead lines can be replaced by high temperature low sag (HTLS) conductors in order to increase their capacity. The coe cients of thermal expansion (CTE) of the HTLS conductors are lower than the CTE of conventional ... -
Uncertainty and detection limits of Pu-241 determination by liquid scintillation counting (LSC)
(Elsevier, 2021-10)[EN]Determination of Pu-241 is an essential issue for radiation protection, as it is the precursor of some nuclides with high radiotoxicity. Pu-241 is a low energy beta emitter, which makes its measurement more challenging ... -
Uncharted Stable Peninsula for Multivariable Milling Tools by High-Order Homotopy Perturbation Method
(MDPI, 2020-11-06)In this work, a new method for solving a delay differential equation (DDE) with multiple delays is presented by using second- and third-order polynomials to approximate the delayed terms using the enhanced homotopy ... -
Unconventional Approaches in Coordination Chemistry and Organometallic Reactivity
(American Chemical Society, 2021-03-23)This contribution highlights a number of approaches developed by coordination and organometallic chemists that go beyond mainstream inorganic reactivity. A few of these strategies have been known for decades and are ... -
Unconventional spin texture of a topologically nontrivial semimetal Sb(110)
(IOP Publishing LTD, 2012-10-17)The surfaces of antimony are characterized by the presence of spin-split states within the projected bulk band gap and the Fermi contour is thus expected to exhibit a spin texture. Using spin-resolved density functional ... -
Uncovering Ecosystem Service Bundles through Social Preferences
(Public Library of Science, 2012-06-18)Ecosystem service assessments have increasingly been used to support environmental management policies, mainly based on biophysical and economic indicators. However, few studies have coped with the social-cultural dimension ... -
Uncovering Success Patterns in Track Cycling: Integrating Performance Data with Coaches and Athletes’ Perspectives
(MDPI, 2024-04-08)Track cycling entails a challenging progression from the youth categories to elite competition. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the importance of early performance and various publicly available performance indicators ... -
Uncovering the Concerns and Needs of Individuals with Celiac Disease: A Cross-Sectional Study
(MDPI, 2023-08-22)The treatment for celiac disease (CD) involves a strict gluten-free diet, which can be challenging and lead to questions for patients. Pinpointing these uncertainties can enable the creation of efficient educational ... -

(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2021-07-22)Purpose – This study aims to explore undergraduate students’ stereotypes of auditing and the influence of knowledge of the profession and its sources on the stereotype. Design/methodology/approach – This study is based ... -
Understanding Cash Sharing: A Sustainability Model
(MDPI, 2019-03-20)Traditionally, corporate treasury management has been strategically based on the idea of advancing collections and delaying payments, which has been regulated through the intermediation of financial entities using, for ... -
Understanding Density in an Uneven City, Santiago de Chile: Implications for Social and Environmental Sustainability
(MDPI, 2014-09-02)Efforts to promote infill development and to raise densities are growing in many cities around the world as a way to encourage urban sustainability. However, in cities polarized along socio-economic lines, the benefits of ... -
Understanding enhanced charge storage of phosphorus-functionalized graphene in aqueous acidic electrolytes
(Elsevier, 2020-11-20)The mechanisms behind enhanced charge storage of P-functionalized carbons are unraveled for the first time using non-porous graphene oxide treated with phosphoric acid and annealed at either 400 or 800 degrees C. The ... -
Understanding fatness in the public sphere of young students: social representations and emotional response
(Cadernos de Saude Publica, 2018)This study examines how youth collectively represent fatness and determines the emotions it arouses. Understanding how fatness is socially constructed by young people is crucial to create programs that better deal with it. ... -
