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 ...
Strategies for the intensification of CO2 valorization in the one-step dimethyl ether synthesis process
(ACS, 2019-12-16)
The intensification of CO2 valorization has been theoretically studied in the direct synthesis of dimethyl ether (DME) carried out in a packed-bed reactor by means of two strategies pursuing the attenuation of the thermodynamic ...
Association between serum fatty acids and lipoprotein subclass profile in healthy young adults: exploring common genetic and environmental factors
(Elsevier, 2014-01-21)
Objective
Little is known about the associations of serum fatty acids with lipoprotein profile and the underlying genetic and environmental etiology of these relationships. We aimed to analyze the phenotypic association ...
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 ...
Genetic and environmental influences on adult human height across birth cohorts from 1886 to 1994
(eLife Sciences Publications, 2016-12-14)
Human height variation is determined by genetic and environmental factors, but it
remains unclear whether their influences differ across birth-year cohorts. We conducted an
individual-based pooled analysis of 40 twin ...
A novel RT-QPCR-based assay for the relative quantification of residue specific m6A RNA methylation
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-12)
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most common and abundant RNA modification. Recent studies have shown its importance in the regulation of several biological processes, including the immune response, and different approaches ...
The methylome of the celiac intestinal epithelium harbours genotype-independent alterations in the HLA region
(Nature Publishing, 2019-02-04)
The Human Leucocyte Antigen (HLA) locus and other DNA sequence variants identified in Genome-Wide Association (GWA) studies explain around 50% of the heritability of celiac disease (CD). However, the pathogenesis of CD ...
Genetic and environmental influences on height from infancy to early adulthood: An individualbased pooled analysis of 45 twin cohorts
(Nature Research, 2016-06-23)
Height variation is known to be determined by both genetic and environmental factors, but a
systematic description of how their influences differ by sex, age and global regions is lacking. We
conducted an individual-based ...
