Most of the Italian school buildings were built before the 1973 energy crisis, so they need a retrofit to reduce their primary energy demand and improve the indoor environment quality.Moreover, regardless of age, these buildings have large windows; therefore, it is generally necessary to improve the solar control strategy.The older buildings have h
Microbial mannanases are biotechnologically important enzymes since they target the hydrolysis of hemicellulosic polysaccharides of softwood biomass into simple molecules like manno-oligosaccharides and mannose.In this study, we have implemented a strategy of molecular engineering in the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica to improve the specific activity of
We present a new high-resolution marine pollen record from NW Iberian margin sediments (core MD03-2697) covering the interval between 340 000 and 270 000 years ago, a time period centred on Marine Isotope Stage Ball Prism Suncatcher (MIS) 9 and characterized by particular baseline climate states.This study enables the documentation of vegetation ch
Historically, bell towers have been religious and architectural symbols in the landscape that summoned the faithful to celebrations and fulfilled a crucial territorial significance task.This function was assumed by the towers of some universities.The real need of the University Francisco de Vitoria to build a bell tower for its new chapel and to be
Abstract We classify rank zero 5d SCFTs geometrically engineered from M-theory on quasi-homogeneous compound Loft Bed Du Val isolated threefold singularities.For all such theories, we characterize the Higgs Branch, by computing the dimension, the continuous and discrete symmetry groups, as well as more refined details such as the charges of the hyp
