Long-time behaviour of the correlated random walk system
In this work, we consider the so-called correlated random walk system (also known as correlated motion or persistent motion system), used in biological modelling, among other fields, such as chromatography. This is a linear ...
Characterisation of protective vaccine antigens from the thiol-containing components of excretory/secretory material of Ostertagia ostertagi
Previous vaccination trials have demonstrated that thiol proteins affinity purified from Ostertagia ostertagi excretory-secretory products (O. ostertagi ES-thiol) are protective against homologous challenge. Here we have ...
H2O-EduK, A Serious Game for Children to Educate on the Urban Water Cycle
Various educational resources have been incorporated into school curricula to support water education and related topics. In this paper, we present and test H2O-EduK, a serious game designed to introduce the urban water ...
A New System for the Remote Configuration and Monitoring of VR Rehabilitation Exercises
Virtual reality (VR) and head-mounted displays (HMDs) are gaining popularity in rehabilitation. However, to be effectively integrated into clinical settings, these systems must offer advanced features such as telerehabilitation ...
Assessing the use of blood microRNA expression patterns for predictive diagnosis of myxomatous mitral valve disease in dogs
Myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) is a common, acquired, and progressive canine heart disease. The presence of heart murmur and current cardiac biomarkers are useful in MMVD cases but are not sufficiently discriminatory ...
Association between musculoskeletal pain and exposures to awkward postures during work: a compositional analysis approach
This study aimed to explore the association between arm elevation and neck/shoulder pain, and trunk forwarding bending and low back pain among home care workers. Methods: Home care workers (N = 116) from 11 home care units ...
Modeling river flow for flood forecasting: A case study on the Ter river
Floods affect chronically many communities around the world. Their socioeconomic impact increases year-by-year, boosted by global warming and climate change. Combined with long-term preemptive measures, preparatory actions ...
Mapping geochemical domains using stream sediment geochemistry: An approach based on compositional indicators in the Volturno River basin
When dealing with environmental problems, it is of fundamental importance to establish reference values (geochemical baselines) against which to determine the presence or absence of active contamination processes. In the ...
Analysis of Aromatic Fraction of Sparkling Wine Manufactured by Second Fermentation and Aging in Bottles Using Different Types of Closures
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of different closures used in second fermentation on the aromatic fraction of sparkling wine. Six types of closures (cork stoppers and screw caps) and 94 months of aging in a bottle ...
Comparing gas composition from fast pyrolysis of live foliage measured in bench-scale and fire-scale experiments
Fire models have used pyrolysis data from oxidising and non-oxidising environments for flaming combustion. In wildland fires pyrolysis, flaming and smouldering combustion typically occur in an oxidising environment (the ...
Watching the guards: a data-driven method to trigger warnings in national wastewater surveillance networks
Surveillance networks have been established in many countries worldwide to monitor SARS-CoV-2 in sewage and to estimate the communal prevalence of COVID-19 cases. Despite their popularity, gaining a rapid understanding of ...
Efficacy of Phase I and Phase II Coxiella burnetii Bacterin Vaccines in a Pregnant Ewe Challenge Model
The bacterium Coxiella burnetii can cause the disease Q-fever in a wide range of animal hosts. Ruminants, including sheep, are thought to play a pivotal role in the transmission of C. burnetii to humans; however, the only ...
Validation of a multiplex-tandem RT-PCR for the detection of bovine respiratory disease complex using Scottish bovine lung samples
The welfare and economic impact of bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC), and its associated antibiotic usage, are major challenges to cattle rearing and beef cattle finishing industries. Accurate pathogen diagnosis ...
Microbiome Datasets Are Compositional: And This Is Not Optional
Datasets collected by high-throughput sequencing (HTS) of 16S rRNA gene amplimers, metagenomes or metatranscriptomes are commonplace and being used to study human disease states, ecological differences between sites, and ...
High-permeability region size on perfusion CT predicts hemorrhagic transformation after intravenous thrombolysis in stroke
Blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability has been proposed as a predictor of hemorrhagic transformation (HT) after tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) administration; however, the reliability of perfusion computed tomography ...
Impact of density-dependent migration flows on epidemic outbreaks in heterogeneous metapopulations
We investigate the role of migration patterns on the spread of epidemics in complex networks. We enhance the SIS-diffusion model on metapopulations to a nonlinear diffusion. Specifically, individuals move randomly over the ...
TAECon, a web-based platform to promote STEM
In this paper, we present TAECon, a web-based platform designed to support STEM promotion sessions carried out by the Polytechnic School of Girona's University at higher schools. The platform combines gamification, serious ...
Adaptive simplification of huge sets of terrain grid data for geosciences applications
We propose and discuss a new Lepp-surface method able to produce a small triangular approximation of huge sets of terrain grid data by using a two-goal strategy that assures both small approximation error and well-shaped ...

Técnicas composicionales para concentraciones geoquímicas por debajo del límite de detección
In most geochemical analyses log-ratio techniques are required to analyse compositional data sets. When a chemical element is present at a low concentration in is usally identified as a value below the detection límit and ...
