Improving Content Delivery Efficiency through Multi-Layer Mobile Edge Adaptation
Fajardo Portillo, José Oscar; Taboada Puente, Ianire
; (IEEE, 2015-11)
This paper presents a novel architecture for optimizing the HTTP-based multimedia delivery in multi-user mobile networks. This proposal combines the usual client-driven dynamic adaptation scheme DASH-3GPP with network-assisted ... -
Introducing mobile edge computing capabilities through distributed 5G Cloud Enabled Small Cells
(2016)Current trends in broadband mobile networks are addressed towards the placement of different capabilities at the edge of the mobile network in a centralised way. On one hand, the split of the eNB between baseband processing ... -
Ionogel-based Nitrite and Nitrate Sensor for Water Control at the Point-of-Need
Sáez Castaño, Janire; ; Fernández Cuadrado, Luis Ángel; Benito López, Fernando (Elsevier, 2016)
The increment of uncontrolled nutrients concentration in water is the subject of increasing environmental concern. In particular, the increment of nitrate causes the eutrophication of algae, leading to fauna and flora ... -
Thermodynamics of Resonant Scalars in AdS/CFT and implications for QCD
Megías Fernández, Eugenio; Valle Basagoiti, Manuel Ángel (E. D. P Sciences, 2016)
We explore the thermodynamics of a simple 5D Einstein-dilaton gravity model with a massive scalar field, with asymptotically AdS behavior in the UV. The holographic renormalization is addressed in details, and analytical ... -
The price of energy efficiency in the Spanish housing market
(Energy Policy, 2016)The housing sector is a substantial consumer of energy, and therefore a focus for energy savings efforts. The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), introduced in 2002 and revised in 2010, is a key instrument ... -

Nitrogen Source and External Medium pH Interaction Differentially Affects Root and Shoot Metabolism in Arabidopsis
(Frontiers Media, 2016-02-01)Ammonium nutrition often represents an important growth-limiting stress in plants. Some of the symptoms that plants present under ammonium nutrition have been associated with pH deregulation, in fact external medium pH ... -
Artificial Life in Quantum Technologies
Álvarez Rodríguez, Unai; Sanz Ruiz, Mikel; Lamata Manuel, Lucas ; Solano Villanueva, Enrique Leónidas (Nature Publishing, 2016-02-08)
We develop a quantum information protocol that models the biological behaviours of individuals living in a natural selection scenario. The artificially engineered evolution of the quantum living units shows the fundamental ... -
Room temperature synthesis of non-isocyanate polyurethanes (NIPUs) using highly reactive N-substituted 8-membered cyclic carbonates
Yuen, Alexander; Bossion, Amaury; ; Ruiperez Cillán, Fernando; Isik, Mehmet; Hedrick, James; ; Yi, Yan Yang; (RSC, 2016-02-16)
There is a growing interest to develop green synthetic pathways towards industrially relevant polymers such as polyurethanes without the use of toxic and dangerous isocyanate monomers. The most promising route towards ... -

Background: Analysis of the association between exposure to electromagnetic fields of non-ionising radiation (EMF-NIR) and health in children and adolescents is hindered by the limited availability of data, mainly due to ... -
Real-Time Dynamics in U(1) Lattice Gauge Theories with Tensor Networks
Pichler, T.; Dalmonte, M.; Rico Ortega, Enrique; Zoller, P.; Montangero, S. (American Physical Society, 2016-03-03)
Tensor network algorithms provide a suitable route for tackling real-time-dependent problems in lattice gauge theories, enabling the investigation of out-of-equilibrium dynamics. We analyze a U(1) lattice gauge theory in ... -
