The Ocean Sampling Day Consortium
(Biomed Central, 2015-06-19)
Ocean Sampling Day was initiated by the EU-funded Micro B3 (Marine Microbial Biodiversity, Bioinformatics, Biotechnology) project to obtain a snapshot of the marine microbial biodiversity and function of the world's oceans. ...
Broad Phenotypes of Disorders/Differences of Sex Development in MAMLD1 Patients Through Oligogenic Disease
(Frontiers Media, 2019-08-29)
Disorders/differences of sex development (DSD) are the result of a discordance between chromosomal, gonadal, and genital sex. DSD may be due to mutations in any of the genes involved in sex determination and development ...
Data-driven nonparametric Li-ion battery ageing model aiming at learningfrom real operation data - Part B: Cycling operation
(Elsevier, 2020-08)
Conventional Li-ion battery ageing models, such as electrochemical, semi-empirical and empirical models, require a significant amount of time and experimental resources to provide accurate predictions under realistic ...
Extraordinary Human Energy Consumption and Resultant Geological Impacts Beginning Around 1950 CE Initiated the Proposed Anthropocene Epoch
(Springer, 2020-10-16)
Growth in fundamental drivers-energy use, economic productivity and population-can provide quantitative indications of the proposed boundary between the Holocene Epoch and the Anthropocene. Human energy expenditure in the ...
Rational design of an unusual 2D-MOF based on Cu(I) and 4-hydroxypyrimidine-5-carbonitrile as linker with conductive capabilities: a theoretical approach based on high-pressure XRD
(Royal Society Of Chemistry, 2020-08-25)
Herein, we present, for the first time, a 2D-MOF based on copper and 4-hydroxypyrimidine-5-carbonitrile as the linker. Each MOF layer is perfectly flat and neutral, as is the case for graphene. High pressure X-ray diffraction ...
Rare Germline DICER1 Variants in Pediatric Patients With Cushing's Disease: What Is Their Role?
(Frontiers Media, 2020)
Context: The DICER1 syndrome is a multiple neoplasia disorder caused by germline mutations in the DICER1 gene. In DICER1 patients, aggressive congenital pituitary tumors lead to neonatal Cushing's disease (CD). The role ...
Socially Responsible Investing as a Competitive Strategy for Trading Companies in Times of Upheaval Amid COVID-19: Evidence from Spain
(MDPI, 2020-07-06)
Sustainable and responsible investing (SRI) is a strategy that seeks to combine both financial return and social good. The need to create and preserve SRI represents a key argument in investment decision-making, which leads ...
Structure, Dynamics, and Accurate Laboratory Rotational Frequencies of the Acrylonitrile–Methanol Complex
(American Physical Society, 2020-05-07)
The hydrogen-bonded complex between acrylonitrile (CH2=CHCN) and methanol has been characterized spectroscopically in the millimeter wave range (59.6-74.4 GHz) using a free jet absorption millimeter wave spectrometer. ...
Feedforward Compensation Analysis of Piezoelectric Actuators Using Artificial Neural Networks with Conventional PID Controller and Single-Neuron PID Based on Hebb Learning Rules
(MDPI, 2020-08-01)
This paper presents a deep analysis of different feed-forward (FF) techniques combined with two different proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control to guide a real piezoelectric actuator (PEA). These devices are well ...
Experimental Validation of a Sliding Mode Control for a Stewart Platform Used in Aerospace Inspection Applications
(MDPI, 2020-11-17)
The authors introduce a new controller, aimed at industrial domains, that improves the performance and accuracy of positioning systems based on Stewart platforms. More specifically, this paper presents, and validates ...
