Rule-based operation mode control strategy for the energy management of a fuel cell electric vehicle
(MDPI, 2024-06-19)
Hydrogen, due to its high energy density, stands out as an energy storage method for the car industry in order to reduce the impact of the automotive sector on air pollution and global warming. The fuel cell electric vehicle ...
Anthropometric influence on preschool children’s physical fitness and motor skills: A systematic review
(MDPI, 2024-05-30)
Early childhood is a critical period for physical and motor development with implications for long-term health. This systematic review examined the relationship between anthropometric characteristics and measures of physical ...
Review of the brain’s behaviour after injury and disease for its application in an agent-based model (ABM)
(MDPI, 2024-06-14)
The brain is the most complex organ in the human body and, as such, its study entails great challenges (methodological, theoretical, etc.). Nonetheless, there is a remarkable amount of studies about the consequences of ...
Recognizable languages of k-forcing automata
(MDPI, 2024-04-25)
In this study, we show that automata theory is also a suitable tool for analyzing a more complex type of the k-forcing process. First, the definition of k-forcing automata is presented according to the definition of k-forcing ...
Analysis of human-related incidents during dynamic positioning operations
(MDPI, 2024-05-29)
Dynamic positioning systems ensure additional position accuracy in different operations in the maritime industry, such as shuttling, drilling, diving, pipe laying, and others. Although they are known to be robust systems, ...

(MDPI, 2024-05-28)
The sustainable development goals (SDGs) reflect the relevance that sustainability is gaining in our societies. Including sustainability-related topics in university curricula requires the revision of the contents, ...
Combined control for a piezoelectric actuator using a feed-forward neural network and feedback integral fast terminal sliding mode control
(MDPI, 2024-06-05)
In recent years, there has been significant interest in incorporating micro-actuators into industrial environments; this interest is driven by advancements in fabrication methods. Piezoelectric actuators (PEAs) have emerged ...
Proposed detection limits for radioactivity concentrations in water in the decommissioning and dismantling of nuclear facilities
(MDPI, 2024-06-01)
The Dismantling and Decommissioning (D&D) of nuclear facilities poses several challenges for radioactivity measurement laboratories involved in environmental radiation monitoring plans. One of them is the definition of the ...
The Importance of Maintaining and Improving a Healthy Gut Microbiota in Athletes as a Preventive Strategy to Improve Heat Tolerance and Acclimatization
(MDPI, 2024-06-06)
Exposure to passive heat (acclimation) and exercise under hot conditions (acclimatization), known as heat acclimation (HA), are methods that athletes include in their routines to promote faster recovery and enhance ...
