We have developed novel hybrid microrobots for wastewater treatment. These microrobots consist of a ferromagnetic piece stacked onto a porous semiconducting segment containing photocatalytic properties. These microstructures were found to be...
Through the study of the vegetation succession and sedimentological, geochemical and geomorphological data from the Lake of Banyoles (Girona, Spain), one study has shown that the Middle Holocene was marked by drying and cooling oscillations and by...
Specialists in oceanography and the study of climate change have studied fossil remains of planktonic foraminifera from the Gulf of Mexico with the aim of investigating temperature, salinity and oceanic productivity during...
The energy demand of modern societies is increasingly high, while the reserves of non-renewable fuel sources, the most common, are diminishing. In this situation, the search for renewable energy sources acquires considerable importance. The SelOxCat research group...
A study onstorage systems of drinking water in 147 municipal deposits confirms that the material characteristics of these are the main contributors to their environmental impact, rather than transportation or the installation system. The storage capacity,...
Researchers from UAB describe for the first time, in a work published in PLOS ONE, a model of behaviour of a bacterial colony that shows how the colony protects itself against toxic substances, like antibiotics, during the colonisation process. The...
Migration is not a recent phenomenon but has existed since ancient times. This thesis studies the population of Olesa de Montserrat between 1581 and 1930. The data on the hundred thousand people who lived there in that period has made it possible to reconstruct the...
Researchers from the Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology (ICTA) of UAB, in collaboration with the Department of Agricultural Sciences of the University of Bologna,...
The tradition of burning the dead and placing their remains and those of the funeral pyre in ceramic urns spread in the second millennium BC throughout Europe, from the Carpathians and the Danube valley to the northeast of the...
Felines use pheromones to communicate. A study tested the effectiveness of two pheromones secreted by the domestic cat in improving the welfare of lions living in a zoo. In gel diffusor form and placed around the...
