(UNED, 2020)[Abstract] This study examines those factors which affect the possibility of using blogs as a tool for continued learning by future infant-school teachers. 222 students participated (3 cohorts spread over 13 class groups) ... -
Use of lanreotide in combination with cabergoline or pegvisomant in patients with acromegaly in the clinical practice: the ACROCOMB study
(Elsevier, 2016-11-04)[Abstract] PURPOSE: To describe real-world use of lanreotide combination therapy for acromegaly. PATIENTS AND METHODS: ACROCOMB is a retrospective observational Spanish study of patients with active acromegaly treated ... -
Use of lignin biopolymer from industrial waste as bitumen extender for asphalt mixtures
(Elsevier, 2019)[Abstract:] Liquid waste containing lignin, a biopolymer of vegetable origin, is generated from the production of wood hardboards. Because polymers improve the performance of asphalt mixtures, this work studies the possibility ... -
Use of lignocellulosic liquid waste from wood hardboard manufacture as bitumen emulsion extender for cold asphalt mixtures for low traffic roads
(2022)[Abstract:] During the wet process of manufacturing wood hardboards, a large amount of water contaminated with lignocellulosic waste is generated. With the aim of promoting the circular economy, it is interesting to find ... -
Use of Microalgae as Biological Indicators of Pollution: Looking for New Relevant Cytotoxicity Endpoints
(Nova Science Publishers, 2012)An important amount of the applied load of pesticides enter into aquatic ecosystems from agricultural runoff or leaching and, as a consequence, have become some of the organic pollutants that appear most frequently on ... -
Use of Multiple Astrocytic Configurations within an Artificial Neuro-Astrocytic Network
(MDPI AG, 2019-08-07)[Abstract] The artificial neural networks used in a multitude of fields are achieving good results. However, these systems are inspired in the vision of classical neuroscience where neurons are the only elements that process ... -
Use of Penalty Formulations in Dynamic Simulation and Analysis of Redundantly Constrained Multibody Systems
(Springer, 2013)[Abstract] The determination of particular reaction forces in the analysis of redundantly constrained multibody systems requires the consideration of the stiffness distribution in the system. This can be achieved by ... -
Use of performance indicators in the analysis of running gait impacts
(2018)[Summary] Foot-ground impact is a critical event during the running cycle. In this work, three performance indicators were used to characterize foot-ground impact intensity: the effective preimpact kinetic energy, ... -
Use of Plackett–Burman and Box–Behnken designs to optimize bioelectricity production from winery residues
(MDPI, 2023-08-25)[Abstract]: This study aimed to estimate the bioelectricity production process using a vinasse solution through the application of Plackett–Burman and Box–Behnken designs. An electrochemical cell was constructed using ... -
Use of Styrene as Sole Carbon Source by the Fungus Exophiala oligosperma: Optimization and Modeling of Biodegradation, Pathway Elucidation, and Cell Membrane Composition
(Springer, 2012-11)Biodegradation of styrene by Exophiala sp. was tested at different initial concentrations (19.3–170.6 mg l−1), pH (2.8–8.7), and temperatures (19.8–45.1 °C), for 120 h according to a 23 full-factorial central composite ... -
Use of the Barthel Index to Assess Activities of Daily Living before and after SARS-COVID 19 Infection of Institutionalized Nursing Home Patients
(MDPI, 2021-07)[Abstract] The objective of the present study was to evaluate the activities of daily living (ADLs) using the Barthel Index before and after infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) ... -
Use of the Comet Assay to Evaluate Pesticide Toxicity on Non-Target Microalgae
(Nova Science Publishers, 2009)Aquatic environments are often contaminated with numerous organic and inorganic compounds. More than 90% of the applied load of pesticides is dispersed in the environment, reaching non-target species of these aquatic ... -
Use of the Xiaomi Mi Band for sleep monitoring and its influence on the daily life of older people living in a nursing home
