A microwave assisted sample introduction system based on the use of a TM010 cavity (MWDS2) has been employed for the introduction of 10% w/w organic solvent solutions in inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). Ethanol, propan-2-ol, formic and acetic…

The intra- and interspecific variability in the West Palaearctic tibialis-group species of the subgenus Pandasyopthalmus (Diptera: Syrphidae: Paragus) was analysed. Novel immature and molecular characters were studied and the traditionally used adult characters reviewed with the aim of establishing the…

We tracked the daily movements of three juvenile golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) using satellite telemetry. Straight distances covered in an hour and throughout a day were calculated. Daily movements of golden eagles are mostly characterized by short-distance excursions, with 64%…

This paper provides information about the magnitude and responses to intimate partner violence against women in Spain.

Aniline (ANI) and 2-aminoterephthalic acid (2ATA) copolymers, with different compositions, were prepared by
chemical oxidative polymerization varying the feed ratio. The new materials have been characterized by techniques such
as XPS, FTIR, Raman spectroscopies and thermal analysis. It has been…

The transitions and reactions involved in the thermal processing of binary mixtures of polyethylene and poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) copolymers with different concentrations of a foaming agent (azodicarbonamide) were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The effect of ZnO as a kicker…

The football taken by teachers, missionaries or the hercians waves to the original peoples of America and practiced at present, constitutes a cultural practice proposed or imposed from the exterior with notable acceptance in the above mentioned peoples, which, in…

The industrial revolution did not take the environment into
consideration when designing products. However, today
the eco-friendly design of products is a task that gets more
visibility due to the great quantity of industrial waste generated
to finalize the useful…

This paper presents recent advances in the areas of modeling, design, and fabrication of microwave filters for space applications. A fast and accurate hybrid analysis method, combining boundary integral resonant mode expansion (BI-RME) and integral equation (IE) techniques, is described.…

This paper investigates how a country’s specific-factor endowment affects its long-run economic performance. We build an open-economy version of the two-sector neoclassical growth model in which we introduce fixed industry-specific inputs in both activities. We show that differences in input…
