Virtual Communities of Practice for Family Caregivers of People with Alzheimer's: Knowledge sharing and quality of life
(2021-03-15)L’atenció a una persona amb Alzheimer suposa una càrrega per les persones cuidadores havent-t’hi una forta correlació negativa entre aquesta càrrega i la seva qualitat de vida. L’objectiu d’aquesta ... -
New tools to analyse the ecological status of mediterranean wetlands and shallow lakes
(2016)The efforts done in Catalonia (Spain) to assess the ecological status of Mediterranean wetlands and shallow lakes are described. The term wetland includes all shallow lentic waterbodies, temporary or ... -
The influence of depth and macrophyte habitat on paleoecological studies using chironomids: Enol Lake (Spain) as a case study
(2018)Paleolimnological studies often rely on a single sediment core for reconstructing past environmental changes of an entire lake system. This involves a number of assumptions about the correct representativeness ... -
Saving freshwater from salts. Ion-specific standards are needed to protect biodiversity
(2016)Many human activities—like agriculture and resource extraction—are increasing the total concentration of dissolved inorganic salts (i.e., salinity) in freshwaters. Increasing salinity can have adverse ... -
Role of predation in biological communities in naturally eutrophic sub-Arctic Lake My´vatn, Iceland
(2017)Effects of fish predation on consumers tend to be particularly strong in oligotrophic Arctic and sub-Arctic lakes. However, it remains unclear whether the fish influence the trophic structure and dynamics ... -
Effects of potash mining on river ecosystems: An experimental study
(2017)In spite of being a widespread activity causing the salinization of rivers worldwide, the impact of potash mining on river ecosystems is poorly understood. Here we used a mesocosm approach to test the ... -
Environmental filtering determines metacommunity structure in wetland microcrustaceans.
(2016)Metacommunity approaches are becoming popular when analyzing factors driving species distribution at the regional scale. However, until the popularization of the variation partitioning technique it was ... -
Effects of an hypersaline effluent from an abandoned potash mine on freshwater biofilm and diatom communities
(2020)Potash abandoned mines cause severe environmental damage to their bordering environment, with significant impacts on freshwater ecosystems mostly through uncontrolled discharge of hypersaline effluents. ... -
Effects of the interaction between nutrient concentration and DIN:SRP ratio on geosmin production by freshwater biofilms
(2021)The global increase of cyanobacterial blooms occurrence has been associated with the presence of compounds that generate earthy and musty odour in freshwater systems, among which geosmin stands out. ... -
Biomass fuel production from cellulosic sludge through biodrying: Aeration strategies, quality of end-products, gaseous emissions and techno-economic assessment
(2021)This study assesses the technological, environmental and economic feasibility of biodrying to valorise cellulosic sludge as a renewable energy source. Specifically, three different aeration strategies ... -
Integrated solid-state enzymatic hydrolysis and solid-state fermentation for producing sustainable polyhydroxyalkanoates from low-cost agro-industrial residues
(2021)Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are biodegradable bioplastics of interest as potential substitutes of petroleum-derived plastics that can be produced starting from lignocellulosic-derived residues. This ... -
Brewer’s spent grain as a no-cost substrate for polyhydroxyalkanoates production: assessment of pretreatment strategies and different bacterial strains
(2021)Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are polyesters of significant interest due to their biodegradability and properties similar to petroleum-derived plastics, as well as the fact that they can be produced ... -
