Review of Intermediate Strain Rate Testing Devices
(MDPI, 2020-07-05)
Materials undergo various loading conditions during different manufacturing processes, including varying strain rates and temperatures. Research has shown that the deformation of metals and alloys during manufacturing ...
DNA metabarcoding and spatial modelling link diet diversification with distribution homogeneity in European bats
(Nature, 2020-03-02)
Inferences of the interactions between species' ecological niches and spatial distribution have been historically based on simple metrics such as low-resolution dietary breadth and range size, which might have impeded the ...
Triku: a feature selection method based on nearest neighbors for single-cell data
(Oxford University Press, 2022-03-12)
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Feature selection is a relevant step in the analysis of single-cell RNA sequencing datasets. Most of the current feature selection methods are based on general univariate descriptors of the data ...
Intercomparison of UAV platforms for mapping snow depth distribution in complex alpine terrain
(Elsevier, 2021-10)
[EN]Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) offer great flexibility in acquiring images in inaccessible study areas, which are then processed with stereo-matching techniques through Structure-from-Motion (SfM) algorithms. This ...
Mechanisms of Toxicity of Ag Nanoparticles in Comparison to Bulk and Ionic Ag on Mussel Hemocytes and Gill Cells
(Public Library Science, 2015-06-10)
Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are increasingly used in many products and are expected to end up in the aquatic environment. Mussels have been proposed as marine model species to evaluate NP toxicity in vitro. The objective ...
Thermomechanical analysis of additively manufactured bimetallic tools for hot stamping
(Elsevier, 2020-09)
A comparison between a conventional AISI H13 hot stamping tool and a bimetallic tool consisting of an AISI 1045 core and a laser-deposited AISI H13 coating is performed. In order to analyze the performance of bimetallic ...
Survival of Frail Elderly with Delirium
(MDPI, 2022-02-16)
This study aims to determine when frailty increases the risks of delirium mortality. Hospital patients falling into the elderly frail or pre-frail category were recruited, some without delirium, some with delirium at ...
Hydrophobization and Photo-Stabilization of Radiata Pinewood: The Effect of the Esterification on Thermal and Mechanical Properties
(MDPI, 2020-10-24)
Wood protection through chemical modification has received increasing interest over the last decades due to the environmental issues related to conventional biocides or protecting products. Consequently, a wide range of ...
Polystyrene nanoplastics and microplastics can act as Trojan horse carriers of benzo(a)pyrene to mussel hemocytes in vitro
(Nature Research, 2021-11-17)
[EN]In this work we studied the ability of polystyrene (PS) nanoplastics (NPs) and microplastics (MPs) to transfer benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) to mussel hemocytes and to produce toxic effects in vitro. For this, intracellular ...
A New Approach in the Design of Microstructured Ultralight Components to Achieve Maximum Functional Performance
(MDPI, 2021-03-24)
In the energy and aeronautics industry, some components need to be very light but with high strength. For instance, turbine blades and structural components under rotational centrifugal forces, or internal supports, ask ...
