Black hole solutions in mimetic Born-Infeld gravity
(Springer, 2018-01-23)
The vacuum, static, and spherically symmetric solutions in the mimetic Born-Infeld gravity are studied. The mimetic Born-Infeld gravity is a reformulation of the Eddington-inspired-Born-Infeld (EiBI) model under the mimetic ...
Distinct neural systems recruited when speech production is modulated by different masking sounds
(Acoustical Society of America, 2016-07)
When talkers speak in masking sounds, their speech undergoes a variety of acoustic and phonetic changes. These changes are known collectively as the Lombard effect. Most behavioural research and neuroimaging research in ...
A Decade of GRB Follow-Up by BOOTES in Spain (2003-2013)
(Hindawi, 2016)
This article covers ten years of GRB follow-ups by the Spanish BOOTES stations: 71 follow-ups providing 23 detections. Follow-ups by BOOTES-1B from 2005 to 2008 were given in a previous article and are here reviewed and ...
Quantifying electronic band interactions in van der Waals materials using angle-resolved reflected-electron spectroscopy
(Nature Publishing, 2016-11-29)
High electron mobility is one of graphene's key properties, exploited for applications and fundamental research alike. Highest mobility values are found in heterostructures of graphene and hexagonal boron nitride, which ...
Doomsdays in a modified theory of gravity: a classical and a quantum approach
(Elsevier, 2017-09-10)
By far cosmology is one of the most exciting subject to study, even more so with the current bulk of observations we have at hand. These observations might indicate different kinds of doomsdays, if dark energy follows ...
Preparation of Nanocomposites of Poly(ε-caprolactone) and Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes by Ultrasound Micro-Molding. Influence of Nanotubes on Melting and Crystallization
(MDPI, 2017-08)
Ultrasound micro-molding technology was successfully applied to prepare nanocomposites based on a poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) matrix and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Optimization of processing parameters ...
Validating a Wave-to-Wire Model for a Wave Energy Converter—Part II: The Electrical System
(MDPI, 2017-07)
The incorporation of the full dynamics of the different conversion stages of wave energy converters (WECs), from ocean waves to the electricity grid, is essential for a realistic evaluation of the power flow in the drive ...
Application of Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks to Achieve Intelligent Microgrids: A Promising Approach towards a Global Smart Grid Deployment
(MDPI, 2016-02)
Smart Grids (SGs) constitute the evolution of the traditional electrical grid towards a new paradigm, which should increase the reliability, the security and, at the same time, reduce the costs of energy generation, ...
Wear And Friction Evaluation Of Different Tool Steels For Hot Stamping
(Hindawi, 2018-03-26)
The aim of this work is to investigate the durability of tool steels for hot stamping by comparing the wear resistance of three hot work tool steels. Friction and wear behaviours of different tool steels sliding against a ...
Using Genetic Algorithms With Multi-Objective Optimization To Adjust Finite Element Models Of Welded Joints
(MDPI, 2018-04-02)
To ensure realistic results when modeling welded joints using the finite element method (FEM), it is essential to appropriately characterize the thermo-mechanical behavior of the elastic-plastic Finite Element (FE) models. ...
