Organocatalyzed Polymerization of PET-mb-poly(oxyhexane) Copolymers and Their Self-Assembly into Double Crystalline Superstructures
(ACS Publications, 2019-08-30)
Double crystalline multi-block copolymers exhibit two well-defined melting temperatures associated with the two phases formed by their constituent blocks. The crystalline superstructure formed in these copolymers is complex ...
Indoor Crowd 3D Localization in Big Buildings from Wi-Fi Access Anonymous Data
(MDPI, 2019-09-27)
Indoor crowd localization and counting in big public buildings pose problems of infrastructure deployment, signal processing, and privacy. Conventional approaches based on optical cameras, either in the visible or infrared ...
A Robust Optimization Based Energy-Aware Virtual Network Function Placement Proposal for Small Cell 5G Networks with Mobile Edge Computing Capabilities
(Hindawi, 2017)
In the context of cloud-enabled 5G radio access networks with network function virtualization capabilities, we focus on the virtual network function placement problem for a multitenant cluster of small cells that provide ...
QoE-Oriented Mobile Edge Service Management Leveraging SDN and NFV
(Hindawi, 2017)
5G envisages a "hyperconnected society" where trillions of diverse entities could communicate with each other anywhere and at any time, some of which will demand extremely challenging performance requirements such as ...
Enhanced mass sensitivity in novel magnetoelastic resonators geometries for advanced detection systems
(Elsevier, 2019-10-01)
Acoustic wave based sensors have a major impact in the detection of low concentration of biological and chemical agents. Magnetoelastic resonator platforms are particularly interesting due to their low cost and wireless ...
A Novel Scheduling Index Rule Proposal for QoE Maximization in Wireless Networks
(Hindawi Publishing, 2014)
This paper deals with the resource allocation problem aimed at maximizing users' perception of quality in wireless channels with time-varying capacity. First of all, we model the subjective quality-aware scheduling problem ...
Associations of Maternal Cell-Phone Use During Pregnancy With Pregnancy Duration and Fetal Growth in 4 Birth Cohorts
(Oxford University Press, 2019-04-17)
Results from studies evaluating potential effects of prenatal exposure to radio-frequency electromagnetic fields from cell phones on birth outcomes have been inconsistent. Using data on 55,507 pregnant women and their ...
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 ...
Stable Photocatalytic Paints Prepared from Hybrid Core-Shell Fluorinated/Acrylic/TiO2 Waterborne Dispersions
(MDPI, 2016-10-24)
The contamination of air and water is one of the major concerns towards the development of a sustainable world in the 21st century. In this context many efforts are devoted to the design of photocatalytic paints able to ...
Enhanced Flexibility and Reusability through State Machine-Based Architectures for Multisensor Intelligent Robotics
(MDPI, 2017-05-31)
This paper presents a state machine-based architecture, which enhances the flexibility and reusability of industrial robots, more concretely dual-arm multisensor robots. The proposed architecture, in addition to allowing ...
