A New and Efficient Enrichment Method for Metagenomic Sequencing of Monkeypox Virus
(Springer, 2022-01-17)
[Abstract] Background
The methodology described in previous literature for Monkeypox virus (MPXV) sequencing shows low efficiency when using metagenomic approaches. The aim of the present study was to evaluate a new ...
Influence of Metal Salts Addition on Physical and Electrochemical Properties of Ethyl and Propylammonium Nitrate
(MDPI, 2022-12-16)
[Abstract] In this work, we deepen in the characterization of two protic ionic liquids (PILs), ethylammonium nitrate (EAN) and propylammonium nitrate (PAN). With this aim, we determined the influence of inorganic nitrate ...
The daily price and income elasticity of natural gas demand in Europe
(Elsevier, 2022)
[Abstract] Data from 15 European countries is analysed to provide novel estimates of daily own-price, cross-price and income elasticities of natural-gas-demand from 2016 to 2020. The results show that: first, there is a ...
Estimating the Radioactive Heat Production of a Granitic Rock in the University of A Coruña (Galicia, Northwest Spain) by Gamma-ray Spectrometry
(MDPI, 2022-11-23)
[Abstract] Geothermal energy is a form of renewable energy with a long tradition in European countries, although it is scarcely used in Spain. One of the reasons for this is the poorly studied geothermal potential of the ...
Topology optimization of structures considering minimum weight and stress constraints by using the Overweight Approach
(Elsevier, 2022)
[Abstract:] In this paper, a new method for structural topology optimization considering minimum weight and local stress constraints is proposed. For this purpose, the Overweight Approach, an improvement of the so-called ...
Sleep Disturbance, Psychological Distress and Perceived Burden in Female Family Caregivers of Dependent Patients with Dementia: A Case-Control Study
(MDPI, 2022-12-02)
[Abstract] This case-control study analyzed the sleep disturbance, psychological distress and perceived burden in female family caregivers of dependent people with dementia (n = 74) compared with female family caregivers ...
The Global Spectrum of Plant Form and Function: Enhanced Species-Level Trait Dataset
(Springer Nature, 2022-12-07)
[Abstract] Here we provide the ‘Global Spectrum of Plant Form and Function Dataset’, containing species mean values for six vascular plant traits. Together, these traits –plant height, stem specific density, leaf area, ...
A Snapshot on the Occurrence and Risk Assessment of Organic Pollutants in an Urban River
(MDPI, 2022-12-22)
[Abstract] A snapshot screening was carried out in an urban river at the end of a dry period in the water and sediments to assess the presence and environmental risk for the following CECs: paracetamol, ibuprofen, diclofenac, ...
Characteristics and survival of patients with acute traumatic spinal cord injury above T6 with prolonged intensive care unit stays
(Elsevier, 2021-08)
[Abstract] Objective: To characterize patients with acute traumatic spinal cord injury (ATSCI) above T6 who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for ≥30 days and their 1-year mortality compared with patients ...
Leaf Wax Biomarkers of a High-Mountain Lake Area in Western Iberia—Implications for Environmental Reconstructions
(Frontiers, 2022-11-29)
[Abstract] Leaf wax n-alkane biomarkers are widely used to infer past vegetation dynamics and hydroclimate changes. The use of these compounds strongly relies on the characterization of modern plants. However, few studies ...
