The impact of volunteer tourism on local communities: A managerial perspective
Volunteer tourism, as a potential tool for community development and sustainability, has been gaining the attention of researchers for the past decade. However, little empirical research exists about the impact of this ...
In silico discovery of substituted pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines and pentamidine-like compounds with biological activity in myotonic dystrophy models
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a rare multisystemic disorder associated with an expansion of CUG repeats in mutant DMPK (dystrophia myotonica protein kinase) transcripts; the main effect of these expansions is the ...
Oligopeptide-modified poly(beta-amino ester)s-coated AdNuPARmE1A: boosting the efficacy of intravenously administered therapeutic adenoviruses
Oncolytic adenoviruses are used as agents for the treatment of cancer. However, their potential is limited due to the high seroprevalence of anti-adenovirus neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) within the population and the rapid ...
Computational analysis of polymer molecular structure effect on nanocavities replication via injection moulding
The purpose of this work is to study how the molecular structure of a polymer affects the replication of nanocavities when injection moulding manufacturing process is used. Even though the process and geometrical factors ...
Una visión moderna sobre la desactivación de cetonas aromáticas por beta-fenilos
La desactivación por beta fenilos (en inglés, Beta Phenyl Quenching o BPQ) es una reacción que se produce a partir del estado triplete de cetonas aromáticas con un grupo fenilo en posición beta. Esta revisión presenta las ...
Complex pBAE Nanoparticle Cell Trafficking: Tracking Both Position and Composition Using Super Resolution Microscopy
Nanomedicine emerged some decades ago with the hope to be the solution for most unmet medical needs. However, tracking materials at nanoscale is challenging to their reduced size, below the resolution limit of most ...
Sustainability Assessment of the Utilization of CO2 in a Dielectric Barrier Discharge Reactor Powered by Photovoltaic Energy
The direct activation of diluted CO2 in argon was studied in a co-axial dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor powered by photovoltaic energy. The influence of the initial CO2 and argon concentration on the CO2 ...
A critical approach to the evaluation of the quality of accounting researchin the Spanish university system and its implications
This research analyses the convenience and consequences of the ANECA criteria for the assessment ofthe research performed by accounting academics in Spain. We focus on the level for the accreditationofcatedrático de ...
Propuesta didáctica para fomentar la capacidad de interpretación de datos en el contexto de la estadística aplicada
La importancia de la interpretación de datos en el contexto de la estadística aplicada a la empresa ha servido de motivación para proponer una actividad docente que permita fomentarla. Esta actividad intenta aproximar la ...
A study of deformation and strain induced in bulk by the oxide layers formation on a Fe-Cr-Al alloy in high-temperature liquid Pb-Bi eutectic
At elevated temperatures, heavy liquid metals and their alloys are known to create a highly corrosive environment that causes irreversible degradation of most iron-based materials. It has been found that an appropriate ...
Biomonitoring emerging hazards of pharmaceuticals in river water using gut microbiome and behavioural Daphnia magna responses
A cost-effective Daphnia magna testing framework was applied to identify emerging hazards such as neurological and cardiovascular defects as well as antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs), related to pharmaceuticals present in ...
Human capital dynamics in China: Evidence from a club convergence approach
This paper investigates the evolution of human capital in China for 31 provinces over the period of 1985–2016 from a club convergence perspective. Per capita human capital stocks, estimated using the Jorgenson–Fraumeni ...
Algebraic surrogate-based flexibility analysis of process units with complicating process constraints
Flexibility analyses are widespread in chemical engineering to quantify allowed deviations from nominal conditions. Standard approaches to perform flexibility analysis can be hard to apply if process constraints are difficult ...
Empirical analysis of factors influencing delay in article acceptance in accounting journals
Using a sample of articles published in top accounting journals, we estimate a multivariate model and find empirical evidence of factors influencing delay in article acceptance. Acceptance delay is measured as the time ...
Calidad de servicio en la industria hotelera: revisión de la literatura
Objetivo: el propósito de esta investigación es, por un la do determinar el avance en la investigación sobre la calidad de servicio en la hotelería y por otro, explorar la existencia o no de investigación sobre las ...
Application of an assay Cascade methodology for a deep preclinical characterization of polymeric nanoparticles as a treatment for gliomas
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most devastating primary brain tumor due to its infiltrating and diffuse growth characteristics, a situation compounded by the lack of effective treatments. Currently, many efforts are ...
Do we agree with liquid chromatograph operational qualification provided from manufacturers?
Good manufacturing practices include the concept of equipment qualification which aims to demonstrate in a documented way that equipment operates correctly for its intended use and that it is properly maintained and ...
Comparing different metabolic indexes to predict type 2 diabetes mellitus in a five years follow-up cohort: The Baependi Heart Study
This study evaluates the association of anthropometric indexes and the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) after a 5-year follow-up. This analysis included 1091 middle-aged participants (57% women, mean age 47 ± ...
