Biodiversity burdens in Spanish conventional and low-impact single-family homes
(Elsevier, 2024-01)
Biodiversity loss caused by housing is not a well-defined sector of environmental impact. This research quantifies effects on biodiversity of an average Spanish Single-Family House (SFH) with 180 m2 of built surface. The ...
A revisited branch-and-cut algorithm for large-scale orienteering problems
(Elsevier, 2024-02)
The orienteering problem is a route optimization problem which consists of finding a simple cycle that maximizes the total collected profit subject to a maximum distance limitation. In the last few decades, the occurrence ...
Assessment of the operational flexibility of virtual power plants to facilitate the integration of distributed energy resources and decision-making under uncertainty
(Elsevier, 2024-01)
Distributed energy resources (DERs) are elements that actively participate in the supply of renewable energy and contribute to the decarbonization of the power system. However, they lack two factors necessary to take ...
Assessment of determinants of high nature value (HNV) farmland at plot scale in Western Pyrenees
(Elsevier, 2024-01)
The concept of High Nature Value (HNV) farming hinges on the causality between agroecosystems with low intensity of management and the corresponding environmental outcomes, including high levels of biodiversity and the ...
Mental journey to the future and memory for future thoughts during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown
(Wiley, 2024-01)
This study analyzes the production and recall of future thoughts during the COVID-19 lockdown. Participants were free to produce future thoughts (Experiment 1) or received cues to promote production (Experiment 2), and ...
Atomistic molecular simulations of Aβ-Zn conformational ensembles
(Wiley, 2024-01)
The amyloid-forming Aβ peptide is able to interact with metal cations to form very stable complexes that influence fibril formation and contribute to the onset of Alzheimer's disease. Multiple structures of peptides derived ...
Use of rasburicase to improve kidney function in children with hyperuricemia and acute kidney injury
(Springer Nature, 2024-01)
Background
Hyperuricemia contributes to decrease in kidney function and induces additional renal damage in children with acute kidney injury (AKI). Rasburicase oxidizes uric acid (UA), decreasing its serum quantities ...
Integrating the Maker pedagogical approach in teacher training: the acceptance level and motivational attitudes
(Springer Nature, 2024-01)
In recent years, Maker Education has gained popularity in formal education, but the perceptions of pre-service teachers after participating in a maker training program at a university-based makerspace remain to be explored. ...
The emergence of nanocellulose aerogels in CO2 adsorption
(Elsevier, 2024-02)
Mitigating the effect of climate change toward a sustainable development is one of the main challenges of our century. The emission of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide (CO2), is a leading cause of the global ...
Forecasting marine spill risk along the U.S. Pacific coasts
(Elsevier, 2024-01)
This study analyzes historical trends and forecasts of spill risks in coastal counties along the U.S. Pacific, including Alaska and Hawaii. The method calculates spill impact, which rises with size but diminishes with age ...
