Uncharted Stable Peninsula for Multivariable Milling Tools by High-Order Homotopy Perturbation Method
(MDPI, 2020-11-06)
In this work, a new method for solving a delay differential equation (DDE) with multiple delays is presented by using second- and third-order polynomials to approximate the delayed terms using the enhanced homotopy ...
Estimation of the Heat Loss Coefficient of Two Occupied Residential Buildings through an Average Method
(MDPI, 2020-11-02)
The existing performance gap between the design and the real energy consumption of a building could have three main origins: the occupants’ behaviour, the performance of the energy systems and the performance of the building ...
Mycorrhizal-assisted phytoremediation and intercropping strategies improved the health of contaminated soil in a peri-urban area
(Frontiers Media, 2021-07-02)
[EN] Soils of abandoned and vacant lands in the periphery of cities are frequently subjected
to illegal dumping and can undergo degradation processes such as depletion of
organic matter and nutrients, reduced biodiversity, ...
Methods for assessment of body tissue composition as an indication of the energetic status in bivalve populations: A comparison of biochemical and elemental analysis
(Elsevier, 2021-02)
Elemental (CHN) and proximate biochemical compositions of body tissues are useful tools among the ecological indices most commonly used in evaluation of the energetic status of animal populations. Gnaiger and Bitterlich ...
Gender Diversity in Research and Innovation Projects: The Proportion of Women in the Context of Higher Education
(MDPI, 2021-05-02)
Europe has gradually consolidated its integration of the gender dimension in the field of research and innovation. Institutional structures have shown that the development of gender diversity policies have improved the ...
Vision-Based Hybrid Controller to Release a 4-DOF Parallel Robot from a Type II Singularity
(MDPI, 2021-06-13)
The high accuracy and dynamic performance of parallel robots (PRs) make them suitable to ensure safe operation in human–robot interaction. However, these advantages come at the expense of a reduced workspace and the possible ...
The Role of Non-Covalent Interactions on Cluster Formation: Pentamer, Hexamers and Heptamer of Difluoromethane
(Wiley, 2021-07-26)
The role of non-covalent interactions (NCIs) has broadened with the inclusion of new types of interactions and a plethora of weak donor/acceptor partners. This work illustrates the potential of chirped-pulse Fourier transform ...
Mixed Ionic-Electronic Conductors Based on PEDOT:PolyDADMA and Organic Ionic Plastic Crystals
(MDPI, 2020-08-31)
Mixed ionic-electronic conductors, such as poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) are postulated to be the next generation materials in energy storage and electronic devices. Although many ...
New algorithm for the elucidation of functional properties of gelatin-based materials
(Pergamon-Elsevier, 2021-10)
In the present work, fish gelatin was employed to develop renewable and biodegradable materials, reducing environmental problems associated with conventional petroleum-based materials. Glycerol was used as plasticizer and ...
Late-Stage C-H Acylation of Tyrosine-Containing Oligopeptides with Alcohols
(American Chemical Society, 2021-09-17)
The selective tagging of amino acids within a peptide framework while using atom-economical C-H counterparts poses an unmet challenge within peptide chemistry. Herein, we report a novel Pd-catalyzed late-stage C-H acylation ...
