Petrographic-Mineralogical Characterization of Archaeological Materials from “Casa di Diana” Mithraeum Sited in the Open Museum of Ostia Antica
(MDPI, 2021-06-20)
Mithraea, religious Roman buildings, are very common in Italian archeological sites. There are sixteen in Ostia Antica (Rome, Italy)The poor state of conservation, due to the intrinsic environmental conditions, characterized ...
Confined Crystallization of Polymers within Nanopores
(ACS, 2021-08-03)
Crystallization of polymeric materials under nanoscopic confinement is highly relevant for nanotechnology applications. When a polymer is confined within rigid nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates, the ...
A Novel Two Stage Controller for a DC-DC Boost Converter to Harvest Maximum Energy from the PV Power Generation
(MDPI, 2020-04-14)
In this article, an efficient and fast two-stage approach for controlling DC-DC boost converter using non linear sliding mode controller for a PV power plant is proposed. The control approach is based on two online methods ...
Inertial Subgradient Extragradient Methods for Solving Variational Inequality Problems and Fixed Point Problems
(MDPI, 2020-05-11)
We propose two new iterative algorithms for solving K-pseudomonotone variational inequality problems in the framework of real Hilbert spaces. These newly proposed methods are obtained by combining the viscosity approximation ...
Psychological Risk Factors that Predict Social Networking and Internet Addiction in Adolescents
(MDPI, 2020-06-26)
Adolescents’ addictive use of social media and the internet is an increasing concern among parents, teachers, researchers and society. The purpose was to examine the contribution of body self-esteem, personality traits, ...
Multiple Sensor Monitoring of CFRP Drilling to Define Cutting Parameters Sensitivity on Surface Roughness, Cylindricity and Diameter
(MDPI, 2020-06-21)
Machining parameters affects the final quality of components made in carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite materials. In this framework, the work here presented aims at studying the right combination of cutting ...
Decreased Striatal Adenosine A(2A)-Dopamine D(2)Receptor Heteromerization in Schizophrenia
(Springer Nature, 2020-10-03)
According to the adenosine hypothesis of schizophrenia, the classically associated hyperdopaminergic state may be secondary to a loss of function of the adenosinergic system. Such a hypoadenosinergic state might either be ...
Di-aryl guanidinium derivatives: Towards improved α2-Adrenergic affinity and antagonist activity
(Elsevier, 2021-01-01)
Compounds with excellent receptor engagement displaying alpha(2)-AR antagonist activity are useful not only for therapeutic purposes (e.g. antidepressants), but also to help in the crystallization of this particular GPCR. ...
Parenting Stress Index-Short Form: Psychometric Properties of the Spanish Version in Mothers of Children Aged 0 to 8 Years
(Colegio Oficial de Psicólogos de Madrid, 2021-01)
The Parenting Stress Index-Short Form (PSI-SF) is one of the most commonly used measures of parenting stress both in clinical and research contexts. The PSI-SF is a 36-item, self-report measure with three subscales: Parental ...
Parameter-Free Hybridlike Functional Based on an Extended Hubbard Model: DFT Plus U Plus V
(American Physical Society, 2020-10-13)
In this paper, we propose an energy functional at the level of DFT U + V that allows us to compute self-consistently the values of the onsite interaction, Hubbard U and Hund J, as well as the intersite interaction V. This ...
