Stress-assisted atomic diffusion in metastable austenite D03 phase of Cu-Al-Be shape memory alloys
(Pergamon-Elsevier, 2016-11)
Cu-Al-based shape memory alloys are firm candidates to be used up to 473 K. The main limiting aspect is the activation of diffusion processes in the metastable austenite phase, which drive the alloy decomposition. In the ...
Eurobalise-Train communication modelling to assess interferences in railway control signalling systems
(Macrothink Institute, 2016-05-10)
The evolution of the railway sector depends, to a great extent, on the deployment of advanced railway signalling systems. These signalling systems are based on communication architectures that must cope with complex ...
Online psycho-education to the treatment of bipolar disorder: protocol of a randomized controlled trial
(Biomed Central, 2016-12-22)
Background: Bipolar disorder patients frequently present recurrent episodes and often experience subsyndromal symptoms, cognitive impairment and difficulties in functioning, with a low quality of life, illness relapses and ...
Characterisation of Exposure to Non-Ionising Electromagnetic Fields in the Spanish INMA Birth Cohort: Study Protocol
(Biomed Central, 2016-02-18)
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 ...
An architecture for dynamic QoS management at Layer 2 for DOCSIS access networks using OpenFlow
(Elsevier, 2016-01-15)
Over the last few years, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has emerged as one of the most disruptive and profitable novelties in networking. SDN was originally conceived to improve performance and reduce costs in Ethernet-based ...
Artificial Life in Quantum Technologies
(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 ...
Thermodynamics of Resonant Scalars in AdS/CFT and implications for QCD
(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 ...
Organic-Acid Mediated Bulk Polymerization of e-Caprolactam and Its Copolymerization with e-Caprolactone
(Wiley, 2016-03-09)
Polyamides (PA) constitute one of the most important
classes of polymeric materials and have gained strong
position in different areas, such as textiles, fibers, and construction
materials. Whereas most PA are synthesized ...
Room temperature synthesis of non-isocyanate polyurethanes (NIPUs) using highly reactive N-substituted 8-membered cyclic carbonates
(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 ...
Serological and Genetic Evidence for Altered Complement System Functionality in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Findings of the GAPAID Consortium
(Public Library Science, 2016-03-07)
Systemic lupus erythematosus is a chronic autoimmune disease with multifactorial ethiopathogenesis. The complement system is involved in both the early and late stages of disease development and organ damage. To better ...
