Venus cloud discontinuity in 2022: The first long-term study with uninterrupted observations
(EDP Sciences, 2023-04)
Context. First identified in 2016 by the Japan Aerospace eXploration Agency (JAXA) Akatsuki mission, the discontinuity or disruption is a recurrent wave observed to propagate over decades at the deeper clouds of Venus ...
Semiconducting polymer nanoporous thin films as a tool to regulate intracellular ROS balance in endothelial cells
(ACS, 2023-07)
The design of soft and nanometer-scale photoelectrodes able to stimulate and promote the intracellular concentration of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is searched for redox medicine applications. In this work, we show ...
The challenge of education for sustainability in higher education: key themes and competences within the University of the Basque Country
(Frontiers Media, 2023-07)
Introduction: One of the major challenges for higher education institutions in the last decade has been (and will continue to be) the integration of sustainability into their curricula and the development of sustainability ...
Social cynicism, greenwashing, and trust in green clothing brands
(Wiley, 2023-09)
This research develops a theoretical model of the effect of social cynicism as a personality trait on trust in green clothing brands. We conducted an online survey of a representative Australian sample to test the hypothesized ...
Multiscale simulation of volumetric wear of vitrified alumina grinding wheels
(Elsevier, 2023-10)
Wear of vitrified alumina wheels is a major research issue. Although extensive experimental work has been presented in the scientific literature, wheel manufacturers and grinding users are still unable to predict the ...
Solving the film formation dilemma: blends of soft core–hard “shell” particles
(ACS, 2023-11)
The use of soft core–hard “shell” polymer particles is an alternative to overcome the film formation dilemma (achieving, at the same time, good film formation at a low temperature and good mechanical properties at a usually ...
Molecular characterization of multidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates from Alexandria, Egypt
(Frontiers Media, 2023-07)
Carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is a major global concern, especially in countries of the Middle East and North Africa, where the antibiotic resistance rates are on the rise. The aim of this study was to study ...
Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization detects bidirectional causality between gut microbiota and celiac disease in individuals with high genetic risk
(Frontiers Media, 2023-06)
Background: Celiac Disease (CeD) is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten intake in genetically susceptible individuals. Highest risk individuals are homozygous for the Human Leucocyte Antigen (HLA) DQ2.5 haplotype ...
Using biological traits to assess diet selection: the case of the Pyrenean Desman
(Oxford University Press, 2023-12)
Traditionally, researchers have assessed diet selection by comparing consumed versus available taxa. However, taxonomic assignment is probably irrelevant for predators, who likely base their selection on characteristics ...
Synthesis, morphology, and crystallization kinetics of polyheptalactone (PHL)
(ACS, 2023-06)
Aliphatic polyesters are widely studied due to their excellent properties and low-cost production and also because, in many cases, they are biodegradable and/or recyclable. Therefore, expanding the range of available ...
