Stability of a Rh/CeO2–ZrO2 Catalyst in the Oxidative Steam Reforming of Raw Bio-oil
(ACS, 2018-02-21)
The oxidative steam reforming (OSR) of raw bio-oil (obtained by fast pyrolysis of pine sawdust) has been studied on a Rh/CeO2-ZrO2 catalyst under a wide range of operating conditions (600-750 ºC; steam to carbon molar ratio ...
Impact of polymorphisms in apoptosis-related genes on the outcome of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia
(Wiley, 2018-05-29)
Despite intensification of therapy, 20% of children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) relapse (Ceppi et al, 2015). The different response to chemotherapy may be partially explained by inherited genetic variants, ...
A “Blood Relationship” Between the Overlooked Minimum Lactate Equivalent and Maximal Lactate Steady State in Trained Runners. Back to the Old Days?
(Frontiers Media, 2018-07)
Maximal Lactate Steady State (MLSS) and Lactate Threshold (LT) are physiologically-related and fundamental concepts within the sports and exercise sciences. Literature supporting their relationship, however, is scarce. ...
Power Control Optimization of an Underwater Piezoelectric Energy Harvester
(MDPI, 2018-03)
Over the past few years, it has been established that vibration energy harvesters with intentionally designed components can be used for frequency bandwidth enhancement under excitation for sufficiently high vibration ...
Analysis of New Strategies to Reach Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (nZEBs)
(MDPI, 2018-11-07)
The need to reduce CO2 emissions makes it necessary to review most areas of human activity because we are the main source of these emissions. In particular, the building sector is one of its main responsible. Through a ...
5 MW Wind Turbine Annual Energy Production Improvement by Flow Control Devices
(MDPI, 2018-11-06)
Several flow control devices have been studied in recent years. Majority of them were designed firstly for aeronautical purposes. At present many research is aimed to introduce these devices in wind turbines (WTs) in order ...
Gurney Flap Implementation on a DU91W250 Airfoil
(MDPI, 2018-11-06)
Abstract
The increasing capability of Wind Turbine (WT) based power generation systems has derived in an increment of the WT rotor diameter, i.e., longer rotor blades. This results in an increase of the electrical power ...
Genetic and environmental factors affecting birth size variation: a pooled individual-based analysis of secular trends and global geographical differences using 26 twin cohorts
(Oxford University Press, 2018-05-19)
Background: The genetic architecture of birth size may differ geographically and over
time. We examined differences in the genetic and environmental contributions to birthweight,
length and ponderal index (PI) across ...
