Adaptation to criticality through organizational invariance in embodied agents
(Nature Publishing, 2018-05-16)
Many biological and cognitive systems do not operate deep within one or other regime of activity. Instead, they are poised at critical points located at phase transitions in their parameter space. The pervasiveness of ...
Development of a Test-Bench for the Accurate Positioning of Scintillation Detector Modules for Medical Imaging Applications
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2018)
When assessing the impact of novel concepts of scintillation block detectors for PET tomography by measuring the performance of single modules, or one module in coincidence with another, it is not trivial to translate the ...
A new approach based on targeted pooled DNA sequencing identifies novel mutations in patients with Inherited Retinal Dystrophies
(Nature Publishing, 2018-09-18)
Inherited retinal diseases (IRD) are a heterogeneous group of diseases that mainly affect the retina; more than 250 genes have been linked to the disease and more than 20 different clinical phenotypes have been described. ...
Added Sugars and Low- and No-Calorie Sweeteners in a Representative Sample of Food Products Consumed by the Spanish ANIBES Study Population
(MDPI, 2018-09-07)
Low- and no-calorie sweeteners (LNCS), intensely sweet compounds that virtually contain no calories, are used to replace added sugars in food and drinks. Knowledge about different LNCS data in Spanish foods and added sugar ...
The Doctoral theses supported by the Sgiker plataforms of the University of the Basque Country are aligned with the Horizon 2020 Programme
(2018-05-12)
The Platforms of the Advanced Research Facilities of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), SGIker, have been developing an essential support for research since 2004 in the areas of Advanced Manufacturing, Energy ...
Driving Flows in Microfluidic Paper-Based Analytical Devices with a Cholinium Based Poly Ionic Liquid Hydrogel
(Elsevier, 2018-01-31)
Paper microfluidics technology requires effective handling and control of fluids, and this remains as asignificant obstacle for their accessibility by end-users, inhibiting their transition from the laboratory intothe ...
Identification of differentially expressed genes by means of outlier detection
(Biomed Central, 2018-09-10)
Background: An important issue in microarray data is to select, from thousands of genes, a small number of informative differentially expressed (DE) genes which may be key elements for a disease. If each gene is analyzed ...
Acetylome in Human Fibroblasts From Parkinson's Disease Patients
(Frontiers Media SA, 2018-04-17)
Parkinson's disease (PD) is amultifactorial neurodegenerative disorder. The pathogenesis of this disease is associated with gene and environmental factors. Mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) are the most ...
What to consider when pseudohypoparathyroidism is ruled out: iPPSD and differential diagnosis
(Biomed Central, 2018-03-02)
Background: Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is a rare disease whose phenotypic features are rather difficult to identify in some cases. Thus, although these patients may present with the Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy ...
Water Adsorption on the β-Dicalcium Silicate Surface from DFT Simulations
(MDPI, 2018-09-04)
beta-dicalcium silicate (beta-Ca2SiO4 or beta-C2S in cement chemistry notation) is one of the most important minerals in cement. An improvement of its hydration rate would be the key point for developing environmentally-friendly ...
