Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and Fourier transform infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (FT-IRRAS) have been combined to analyse the oxidation of methylamine and ethylamine on platinum single crystal electrodes in an acidic medium. The oxidation of both amines on Pt(hkl) electrodes gives rise…

The electroreflectance (ER) technique has been applied to the study of a Pt(111) electrode in different acidic and alkaline electrolytes. The variation in the normalised potential derivative of the reflectance signal, 1/R(dR/dE) is observed in sulphuric and perchloric acid media…

An approximation scheme to obtain the period for large amplitude oscillations of a simple pendulum is analysed and discussed. The analytical approximate formula for the period is the same as that suggested by Hite (2005 Phys. Teach. 43 290), but…

Objetivo: Analizar la institucionalización de las ciencias de la nutrición en la España de la segunda mitad del siglo XX, y evaluar la actividad desarrollada por la revista Anales de Bromatología. Método: Estudio bibliométrico descriptivo de los artículos originales. Se…

Information Systems (IS) outsourcing is a growing phenomenon in present-day firms that has generally been characterised with an insufficient level of detail and analysis. This is mainly due to the fact that outsourcing has been studied as a set of…

In this communication, we report a new method to determine the wavefront
aberration function of personalized eyes. We obtain corneal surface data and
axial lengths for different eyes. With these data, we construct a diffractive model
of a human eye,…

PURPOSE: To compare the visual results of presbyLASIK patients to the best theoretical pseudoaccommodation that could be achieved using a multifocal refractive intraocular lens (IOL) model based on the optical
structure of a simulated AMO Array multifocal IOL.
METHODS: The…

Despite increased numbers of female researchers, women still face more difficulties than their male counterparts when it comes to publishing their work and having it read and cited. In this editorial, the main recommendations are detailed in order to promote…

Background: Education is a basic prerequisite for d/Deaf people’s health. Deaf education varies considerably from country to country and we still know very little about the reasons for such variation. Objective: To identify international megatrends that influence the current Deaf…

Objective: Although the relationship between area socioeconomic environment and obesity is known, previous research has measured area socioeconomic environment at only one point in time. This study evaluates the relationship of cumulative area-based adverse socioeconomic environment with body mass index…
