A Spanish multispeaker database of esophageal speech
(Elsevier, 2020-11-05)A laryngectomee is a person whose larynx has been removed by surgery, usually due to laryngeal cancer. After surgery, most laryngectomees are able to speak again, using techniques that are learned with the help of a speech ... -
A Sterically Congested Nitrogenated Benzodipentaphene with a Double π-Expanded Helicene Structure
(American Chemical Society, 2020-05-01)Herein, we describe a series of three sterically congested nitrogenated benzodipentaphenes, one of which shows a highly distorted aromatic backbone with an unprecedented double π-expanded helicene structure. -
A Survey on the Contributions of Software-Defined Networking to Traffic Engineering
(IEEE, 2017-05-31)Since the appearance of OpenFlow back in 2008, software-defined networking (SDN) has gained momentum. Although there are some discrepancies between the standards developing organizations working with SDN about what SDN is ... -
A Thiadiazole-capped Nanoribbon with 18 Linearly-Fused Rings
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018-06-28)Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that extend over 2 nm in one dimension are seen as monodisperse graphene nanoribbons, which have attracted significant attention for a broad range of applications in organic electronics and ... -
A trade-off between ligand and strain effects optimizes the oxygen reduction activity of Pt alloys
(RSC, 2022-10-20)To optimize the performance of catalytic materials, it is paramount to elucidate the dependence of the chemical reactivity on the atomic arrangement of the catalyst surface. Therefore, identifying the nature of the active ... -
A unifying framework for mean-field theories of asymmetric kinetic Ising systems
(Nature, 2021-02-19)Kinetic Ising models are powerful tools for studying the non-equilibrium dynamics of complex systems. As their behavior is not tractable for large networks, many mean-field methods have been proposed for their analysis, ... -
A Vehicle Simulation Model and Automated Driving Features Validation for Low-Speed High Automation Applications
(IEEE, 2021-12)[EN]The low-speed high automation (LSHA) is foreseen as a development path for new types of mobility, improving road safety and addressing transit problems in urban infrastructures. As these automation approaches are still ... -
A Wavy Two-Dimensional Covalent Organic Framework from Core- Twisted Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons
(ACS, 2019-09-11)A high degree of crystallinity is an essential aspect in two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks, as many properties depend strongly on the structural arrangement of the different layers and their constituents. We ... -
Ab initio molecular dynamics on the electronic Boltzmann equilibrium distribution
(IOP Publishing, 2010-08-31)We prove that for a combined system of classical and quantum particles, it is possible to describe a dynamics for the classical particles that incorporates in a natural way the Boltzmann equilibrium population for the ... -
Ab initio study of metastable occupation of tetrahedral sites in palladium hydrides and its impact on superconductivity
(APS, 2023-01-11)A recent experimental work on palladium hydrides suggested that metastable structures with hydrogen atoms occupying tetrahedral sites could lead to superconductivity above 50 K, a huge increase compared to the 9 K critical ... -
Ab initio study of the structural, vibrational, and optical properties of potential parent structures of nitrogen-doped lutetium hydride
(APS, 2023-08-28)The recent report of near-ambient conditions superconductivity in a nitrogen-doped lutetium hydride has inspired a large number of experimental studies with contradictory results. We model from first principles the physical ... -
Absence of sizable superconductivity in hydrogen boride: A first-principles study
(APS, 2022-12-12)The recently synthesized hydrogen boride monolayer in the Cmmm phase is a promising superconductor due to its similarity to MgB2 and the large hydrogen content in its structure. Making use of first-principles calculations ... -
Accelerating the crystallization kinetics of linear polylactides by adding cyclic poly (L-lactide): Nucleation, plasticization and topological effects
(Elsevier B.V., 2021-07-10)Polylactide is one of the most versatile biopolymers, but its slow crystallization limits its temperature usage range. Hence finding ways to enhance it is crucial to widen its applications. Linear and cyclic poly (L-lactide) ... -
Acceptance of Near-Natural Greenspace Management Relates to Ecological and Socio-Cultural Assigned Values Among European Urbanites
