Microwave-assisted synthesis of nanocatalysts in batch conditions
(Universidad de Córdoba, UCOPress, 2020)
The development of intensified processes for the preparation of novel catalytically active nanodimensional materials is a captivating challenge getting more attention day-by-day.1, 2 In fact, nanoparticle systems offer the ...
Scrap waste automotive converters as efficient catalysts for the continuous-flow hydrogenations of biomass derived chemicals
(RSC, 2020)
The catalytic activity of the scrap ceramic-core of automotive catalytic converters (SCATs) was investigated in the continuous-flow hydrogenation of different biomass derived chemicals. The waste SCATs powders were deeply ...
Klotho/FGF23 and Wnt Signaling as Important Players in the Comorbidities Associated with Chronic Kidney Disease
(MDPI, 2020)
Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 (FGF23) and Klotho play an essential role in the regulation of mineral metabolism, and both are altered as a consequence of renal failure. FGF23 increases to augment phosphaturia, which prevents ...
Algae-Bacteria Consortia as a Strategy to Enhance H2 Production
(MDPI, 2020)
Biological hydrogen production by microalgae is a potential sustainable, renewable and clean source of energy. However, many barriers limiting photohydrogen production in these microorganisms remain unsolved. In order to ...
Modeling Major Rural Land-Use Changes Using the GIS-Based Cellular Automata Metronamica Model: The Case of Andalusia (Southern Spain)
(MDPI, 2020)
The effective and efficient planning of rural land-use changes and their impact on the environment is critical for land-use managers. Many land-use growth models have been proposed for forecasting growth patterns in the ...
Analysis of the Influence of Terrain Orientation on the Design of PV Facilities with Single-Axis Trackers
(MDPI, 2020)
This paper investigates how to optimally orient the photovoltaic solar trackers of an axis parallel to the terrain, applying the sky model of Hay–Davies. This problem has been widely studied. However, the number of studies ...
Pathogenic Pathways and Therapeutic Approaches Targeting Inflammation in Diabetic Nephropathy
(MDPI, 2020)
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is associated with an increased morbidity and mortality, resulting in elevated cost for public health systems. DN is the main cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its incidence increases the ...
Analysis of Barriers and Opportunities for Reclaimed Wastewater Use for Agriculture in Europe
(MDPI, 2020)
This paper presents an analysis of the perception regarding reclaimed wastewater reuse in agriculture conducted in the European Union regions. The analysis is based upon a SWOT framework and applies a cluster analysis to ...
Modelling of the Behaviour of Salmonella enterica serovar Reading on Commercial Fresh-Cut Iceberg Lettuce Stored at Different Temperatures
(MDPI, 2020)
The aim of this study was to model the growth and survival behaviour of Salmonella Reading and endogenous lactic acid bacteria on fresh pre-cut iceberg lettuce stored under modified atmosphere packaging for 10 days at ...
Seasonal Climate Forecast Skill Assessment for the Management of Water Resources in a Run of River Hydropower System in the Poqueira River (Southern Spain)
(MDPI, 2020)
Run of river (RoR) hydropower systems, despite being one of the most cost-effective and environmentally benign energy technologies, have the disadvantage that production is not constant because it is subject to a high ...
