Experimental Validation of the Kinematic Design of 3PRS Compliant Parallel Mechanisms
(Elsevier, 2016-11)
In this paper, a procedure for the kinematic design of a 3-PRS compliant parallel manipulator of 3 degrees of freedom is proposed. First, under the assumption of small displacements, the solid body kinematics of the 3-PRS ...
High-Altitude Cognitive Impairment Is Prevented by Enriched Environment Including Exercise via VEGF Signaling
(Frontiers Media, 2019)
Exposure to hypobaric hypoxia at high altitude (above 2500 m asl) causes cognitive impairment, mostly attributed to changes in brain perfusion and consequently neuronal death. Enriched environment and voluntary exercise ...
Optimizing Biodiesel Production from Waste Cooking Oil Using Genetic Algorithm-Based Support Vector Machines
(MDPI, 2018-11-01)
The ever increasing fuel demands and the limitations of oil reserves have motivated research of renewable and sustainable energy resources to replace, even partially, fossil fuels, which are having a serious environmental ...
Cosmological Perturbations in Phantom Dark Energy Models
(MDPI, 2017-03-06)
The CDM paradigm, characterised by a constant equation of state w = -1 for dark energy, is the model that better fits observations. However, the same observations strongly support the possibility of a dark energy content ...
Observation of TransverseΛ= ̄ΛHyperon Polarization ine+e−Annihilation at Belle
(American Physical Society, 2019-01-29)
We report the first observation of the spontaneous polarization of Lambda and (Lambda) over bar hyperons transverse to the production plane in e(+)e(-) annihilation, which is attributed to the effect arising from a polarizing ...
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a complex syndrome that needs an integrated research approach
(Wolters Kluwer, 2019-02)
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the most common neurodegenerative disease affecting motor neurons, lacks an effective treatment. A small fraction of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis cases have a familial origin, related to ...
Identification of a panel of serum protein markers in early stage of sepsis and its validation in a cohort of patients
(Elsevier, 2018-08)
Background: Sepsis is a life-threatening illness with a challenging diagnosis. Current serum biomarkers are not sensitive enough for diagnosis. With the aim of finding proteins associated with sepsis, serum protein profile ...
3-Form Cosmology: Phantom Behaviour, Singularities and Interactions
(MDPI, 2018-03-03)
The latest cosmological observations by the Planck collaboration (and combined with others) are compatible with a phantom-like behaviour (w <-1) for the dark energy equation of state that drives the current acceleration ...
Observation of an Excited Omega(-) Baryon
(American Physical Society, 2018-08-02)
Using data recorded with the Belle detector, we observe a new excited hyperon, an Omega*(-) candidate decaying into Xi K-0(-) and Xi K--(S)0 with a mass of 2012.4 +/- 0.7(stat) +/- 0.6(syst) McV/c(2) and a width of Gamma ...
University Social Responsibility towards Engineering Undergraduates: The Effect of Methodology on a Service-Learning Experience
(MDPI, 2018-06)
Service-Learning (SL) experiences enable University Social Responsibility (USR) to be worked on in engineering studies as a core of education for Sustainability. The combined use of such experiences with active student-centered ...
