Acute gastroenteritis (AGE), often related to noroviruses, is one of the most common diseases suffered by the population. Noroviruses affect the stomach and intestines and are easily transmissible through human contact or in enclosed spaces, which would explain why they appear relatively frequently during...
The field of metallic nanoparticles (MNP), one of the nanoscience fields with most projection, advances daily. The exceptional characteristic physical and chemical properties of these particles make it possible to use them in electrochemical applications. However, this can...
The treatment of organic solid waste to obtain compost – which can be used as soil conditioner or fertilizer - is a complex process. However, certain physico-chemical and biological characteristics are required in a waste to be successfully composted. When...
Headlamp systems through the lens
Continuous innovation in headlamp systems also implies an improvement in how they are assessed. These assessment systems are based on dynamic comparison, i.e., experts or users themselves assess the quality of headlamps by means of different driving tests. The disadvantages of this...
A new advance in genomics research will allow for a better understanding of cellular and molecular life in oceans. In this case, the analysis focuses on the marine bacterium Polaribacter sp. MED152, a microorganism widely found in oceans which has survived in carbon-deficient environments and cannot always find...
Researchers at the Ecophysiology Unit of CSIC-CREAF have studied the possible negative effects of an increase in dryness would have in ecosystems of the Mediterranean Basin. Based on an experiment with adult holm oaks found in the Prades mountains in which the earth...
Imitation as a method of human learning has never been a simple process. The cultural evolution of the human species based on this method continues to be established in a selective attitude - the selected models are...
