Candida albicans biofilms on different materials for manufacturing implant abutments and prostheses
(Medicina Oral S. L., 2020-01-01)
[EN] Background: Morphological, physical and chemical properties of both implants and prostheses can determine the
biofilm formation on their surface and increase the risk of biological complications. The aim of this study ...
A Functional Data Analysis for Assessing the Impact of a Retrofitting in the Energy Performance of a Building
(MDPI, 2020-04-07)
There is an increasing interest in reducing the energy consumption in buildings and in improving their energy efficiency. Building retrofitting is the employed solution for enhancing the energy efficiency in existing ...
Challenges for Digitalisation in Building Renovation to Enhance the Efficiency of the Process: A Spanish Case Study
(MDPI, 2021-11-03)
Although construction is one of the largest industries in the world, it is one of the least digitised and its productivity is still very low. Excesses of time and cost are common and are even more accentuated for building ...
Age of Information of Parallel Server Systems with Energy Harvesting
(MDPI, 2021-11-21)
Motivated by current communication networks in which users can choose different transmission channels to operate and also by the recent growth of renewable energy sources, we study the average Age of Information of a status ...
Advances in Waterborne Polyurethane and Polyurethane-Urea Dispersions and Their Eco-friendly Derivatives: A Review
(MDPI, 2021-01-27)
Polyurethanes and polyurethane-ureas, particularly their water-based dispersions, have gained relevance as an extremely versatile area based on environmentally friendly approaches. The evolution of their synthesis methods, ...
Structural Health Monitoring Using Ultrasonic Guided-Waves and the Degree of Health Index
(MDPI, 2021-02-02)
This paper proposes a new damage index named degree of health (DoH) to efficiently tackle structural damage monitoring in real-time. As a key contribution, the proposed index relies on a pattern matching methodology that ...
Fragile Phases as Affine Monoids: Classification and Material Examples
(American Physical Society, 2020-07-01)
Topological phases in electronic structures contain a new type of topology, called fragile, which can arise, for example, when an elementary band representation (atomic limit band) splits into a particular set of bands. ...
Complex Formalism of the Linear Beam Dynamics
(IEEE-Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2021-03)
It has long been known that the ellipse normally used to model the phase space extension of a beam in linear dynamics may be represented by a complex number which can be interpreted similar to a complex impedance in ...
Leigh Syndrome Associated with TRMU Gene Mutations
(Elsevier, 2021-03)
tRNA 5-methylaminomethyl-2-thiouridylate methyltransferase (TRMU) deficiency causes an early onset potentially reversible acute liver failure, so far reported in less than 30 patients. We describe two new unrelated patients ...
A flexible strain-responsive sensor fabricated from a biocompatible electronic ink via an additive-manufacturing process
(2021-08)
Biosensor technologies are of great interest for applications in wearable electronics, soft robotics and implantable biomedical devices. To accelerate the adoption of electronics for chronic recording of physiological ...
