The effect of adding Sn to Pt/CeO2–Al2O3 and Pt/Al2O3 catalysts was studied with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), 119Sn Mössbauer
spectroscopy, and adsorption microcalorimetry of CO at room temperature. Catalysts were reduced in situ at 473 (non-SMSI state) and 773 K

The electronic energy loss of swift H and He ions in gold is studied, paying special attention to the contribution to the projectile energy loss due to the ionization of the target inner-shells. We calculate the stopping power and the…

The purpose of this paper was to quantify and analyze the participation/pause game times and stoppages of 11-a-side soccer. A total of 617 players of 44 Spanish men's teams and 33 matches of the 2007/08 and 2008/09 men's soccer players…

Antimony-doped tin dioxide electrodes supported on titanium have been used in the electrochemical treatment of aqueous solution
containing phenol. Ti/SnO2–Sb anode has high efficiency in the elimination of phenol, but its use is hindered by its short service
life. The…

Information systems outsourcing is a constantly growing practice in all sorts of organisations. This paper analyses the level of information systems outsourcing at Spanish public universities. It also means to determine if factors such as the size, both of universities…

A new analytical approximate expression for the period of the simple pendulum is obtained by using a heuristic but pedagogical derivation. This formula depends on two parameters obtained by comparing term-by-term the power-series expansions of the approximate and exact expressions…

The author in his article solves the problems of drug dependence among young people and the problems of sport as a good means against drug dependence. The research sample consisted of 749 pupils of basic and secondary schools in the…

This paper proposes a new manufacturing paradigm, we call Cloud Agile Manufacturing, and whose principal objective is to offer industrial production systems as a service. Thus users can access any functionality available in the cloud of manufacturing (process design, production,…

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that elite football players with the same anaerobic threshold calculated from the lactate performance curve during a field level test may have substantially different values describing endurance performance capacity determined from spiroergometric…

The aim of this study is to describe the muscular volume and strength of different body segments from a sample of 19 English male participants, with a mean age of 43.84 (±11.62). An isometric dynamometer (Standard type S) has been…
