A rational fraction polynomials model to study vertical dynamic wheel-rail interaction
(Elsevier, 2012-04)
This paper presents a model designed to study vertical interactions between wheel and rail when the wheel moves over a rail welding. The model focuses on the spatial domain, and is drawn up in a simple fashion from track ...
Territorial Integrity and Self-Determination : The Approach of the International Court of Justice in the Advisory Opinion on Kosovo
(Institut d'Estudis Autonòmics, 2012-10)
[EN] On 17 February 2008 Kosovo approved its declaration of independence from Serbia. The declaration was raised as a unilateral secession, a category which to date is widely debated by the international community, but ...
The Role of the Subthalamic Nucleus in L-DOPA Induced Dyskinesia in 6-Hydroxydopamine Lesioned Rats
(Public Library of Science, 2012-08-06)
L-DOPA is the most effective treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD), but prolonged use leads to disabling motor complications including dyskinesia. Strong evidence supports a role of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in the ...
Preferences, actions and voting rules
(Springer, 2012-03)
In this paper we address several issues related to collective dichotomous decision-making by means of quaternary voting rules, i.e., when voters may choose between four actions: voting yes, voting no, abstaining and not ...
Dextran and protamine-based solid lipid nanoparticles as potential vectors for the treatment of X-linked juvenile retinoschisis
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., 2012-04)
[EN]The goal of the present study was to analyze the potential application of nonviral vectors based on solid lipid
nanoparticles (SLN) for the treatment of ocular diseases by gene therapy, specifically X-linked juvenile ...
Magnetization reversal and exchange bias effects in hard/soft ferromagnetic bilayers with orthogonal anisotropies
(IOP Publishing LTD, 2012-11-02)
The magnetization reversal processes are discussed for exchange-coupled ferromagnetic hard/soft bilayers made from Co0.66Cr0.22Pt0.12 (10 and 20 nm)/Ni (from 0 to 40 nm) films with out-of-plane and in-plane magnetic easy ...
PAnalyzer: A software tool for protein inference in shotgun proteomics
(BioMed Central, 2012-11-05)
Background
Protein inference from peptide identifications in shotgun proteomics must deal with ambiguities that arise due to the presence of peptides shared between different proteins, which is common in higher eukaryotes. ...
Recognition of Membrane-Bound Fusion-Peptide/MPER Complexes by the HIV-1 Neutralizing 2F5 Antibody : Implications for Anti-2F5 Immunogenicity
(Public Library of Science, 2012-12-21)
The membrane proximal external region (MPER) of the fusogenic HIV-1 glycoprotein-41 harbors the epitope sequence recognized by 2F5, a broadly neutralizing antibody isolated from an infected individual. Structural mimicry ...
The First Occurrence in the Fossil Record of an Aquatic Avian Twig-Nest with Phoenicopteriformes Eggs: Evolutionary Implication
(Public Library of Science, 2012-10-17)
Background: We describe the first occurrence in the fossil record of an aquatic avian twig-nest with five eggs in situ (Early Miocene Tudela Formation, Ebro Basin, Spain). Extensive outcrops of this formation reveal ...
Unconventional spin texture of a topologically nontrivial semimetal Sb(110)
(IOP Publishing LTD, 2012-10-17)
The surfaces of antimony are characterized by the presence of spin-split states within the projected bulk band gap and the Fermi contour is thus expected to exhibit a spin texture. Using spin-resolved density functional ...
