Subdiffusion of nonlinear waves in quasiperiodic potentials
(IOP Publishing, 2012-10-23)
We study the time evolution of wave packets in one-dimensional quasiperiodic lattices which localize linear waves. Nonlinearity (related to two-body interactions) has a destructive effect on localization, as observed ...
Robust speed control for a variable speed wind turbine
(ICIC International, 2012-11)
Modern wind turbines are designed in order to work in variable speed opera-tions. To perform this task, these turbines are provided with adjustable speed generators, like the double feed induction generator (DFIG). One of ...
Incidental Memory of Younger and Older Adults for Objects Encountered in a Real World Context
(Public Library Science, 2014-06-18)
Effects of context on the perception of, and incidental memory for, real-world objects have predominantly been investigated in younger individuals, under conditions involving a single static viewpoint. We examined the ...
A genealogical map of the concept of habit
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014-07-21)
The notion of information processing has dominated the study of the mind for over six decades. However, before the advent of cognitivism, one of the most prominent theoretical ideas was that of Habit. This is a concept ...
Genotypes, Recombinant Forms, and Variants of Norovirus GII.4 in Gipuzkoa (Basque Country, Spain), 2009-2012
(Public Library Science, 2014-06-03)
Background: Noroviruses (NoVs) are genetically diverse, with genogroup II-and within it-genotype 4 (GII.4) being the most prevalent cause of acute gastroenteritis worldwide. The aim of this study was to characterize genogroup ...
Spinal circuits can accommodate interaction torques during multijoint limb movements
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014-11-11)
The dynamic interaction of limb segments during movements that involve multiple joints creates torques in one joint due to motion about another. Evidence shows that such interaction torques are taken into account during ...
Resveratrol: Anti-Obesity Mechanisms of Action
(MDPI, 2014-11)
Resveratrol is a non-flavonoid polyphenol which belongs to the stilbenes group and is produced naturally in several plants in response to injury or fungal attack. Resveratrol has been recently reported as preventing obesity. ...
An observer-based vaccination control law for an SEIR epidemic model based on feedback linearization techniques for nonlinear systems
(Springer, 2012-09)
This paper presents a vaccination strategy for fighting against the propagation of epidemic diseases. The disease propagation is described by an SEIR (susceptible plus infected plus infectious plus removed populations) ...
Sliding Mode Control Strategy for Wind Turbine Power Maximization
(MDPI, 2012-07)
The efficiency of the wind power conversions systems can be greatly improved using an appropriate control algorithm. In this work, a sliding mode control for variable speed wind turbine that incorporates a doubly fed ...
Black Holes, Cosmological Solutions, Future Singularities, and Their Thermodynamical Properties in Modified Gravity Theorie
(MDPI, 2012-09-18)
Along this review, we focus on the study of several properties of modified
gravity theories, in particular on black-hole solutions and its comparison with those solutions in General Relativity, and on Friedmann–Lemaˆıtr ...
