Predictive Dynamic Window Approach Development with Artificial Neural Fuzzy Inference Improvement
(MDPI, 2019-08-26)
The aim of this paper is to improve the dynamic window approach algorithm for mobile robots by implementing a prediction window with a fuzzy inference system to adapt to fixed parameters, depending on the surrounding ...
Experimental Evaluation of Perfluorocarbon Aerosol Generation with Two Novel Nebulizer Prototypes
(MDPI, 2019-01-05)
The potential of non-invasive ventilation procedures and new minimally invasive techniques has resulted in the research of alternative approaches as the aerosolization for the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome ...
Computational Modeling of Gurney Flaps and Microtabs by POD Method
(MDPI, 2018-08)
Gurney flaps (GFs) and microtabs (MTs) are two of the most frequently used passive flow control devices on wind turbines. They are small tabs situated close to the airfoil trailing edge and normal to the surface. A study ...
Tolkien’s Library: An Annotated Checklist, by Oronzo Cilli

Arboreal Tradition and Subversion: An Ecocritical Reading of Shakespeare’s Portrayal of Trees, Woods and Forests
(Lodz University Press, 2020-06)
This paper analyses from an ecocritical standpoint the role of trees, woods and forests and their symbolism in William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Macbeth, The Merchant of Venice, The Merry Wives of Windsor, A Midsummer Night’s ...
BRAF V600E mutational load as a prognosis biomarker in malignant melanoma
(Public Library Science, 2020-03-13)
Analyzing the mutational load of driver mutations in melanoma could provide valuable information regarding its progression. We aimed at analyzing the heterogeneity of mutational load of BRAF V600E in biopsies of melanoma ...
RKIP Regulates Differentiation-Related Features in Melanocytic Cells
(MDPI, 2020-06-03)
Raf Kinase Inhibitor Protein (RKIP) has been extensively reported as an inhibitor of keysignaling pathways involved in the aggressive tumor phenotype and shows decreased expressionin several types of cancers. However, ...
Serum markers improve current prediction of metastasis development in early-stage melanoma patients: a machine learning-based study
(Wiley, 2020-06)
Metastasis development represents an important threat for melanoma patients, even when diagnosed at early stages and upon removal of the primary tumor. In this scenario, determination of prognostic biomarkers would be of ...
Thermo-rheological effects on succesful 3D printing of biodegradable polyesters
(Elsevier, 2020-06-23)
Biodegradable polybutylene succinate (PBS) and poly (butylene succinate-ran-adipate) (PBSA) were characterized to find the thermo-rheological bases for 3D printing by Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF). In dynamic viscoelastic ...
Direct Identification of Three Crystalline Phases in PEO-b-PCL-b-PLLA Triblock Terpolymer by In Situ Hot-Stage Atomic Force Microscopy
(Elsevier, 2020-08-04)
In this work, we provide a detailed description of the tri-lamellar nanoscale morphology of a triple crystalline PEO-b-PCL-b-PLLA triblock terpolymer obtained by Hot-Stage Atomic Force microscopy (AFM) imaging and Wide ...
