Evaluation of black crust formation and soiling process on historical buildings from the Bilbao metropolitan area (north of Spain) using SEM-EDS and Raman microscopy
(Springer, 2017-04)
In the present work, several building materials suffering from black crusts and soiled surfaces were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (SEM-EDS) and micro-Raman spectroscopy. ...
Optical Characterization of Doped Thermoplastic and Thermosetting Polymer-Optical-Fibers
(MDPI, 2017-03)
The emission properties of a graded-index thermoplastic polymer optical fiber and a step-index thermosetting one, both doped with rhodamine 6G, have been studied. The work includes a detailed analysis of the amplified ...
Intelligent nozzle design for the Laser Metal Deposition process in the Industry 4.0
(Elsevier, 2017)
Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) is an AM (Additive Manufacturing) process that enables to build 3D geometries or enhance the surface properties of the base material by the generation of a coating. With the aim of integrating ...
Triethyl Citrate (TEC) as a Dispersing Aid in Polylactic Acid/Chitin Nanocomposites Prepared via Liquid-Assisted Extrusion
(MDPI, 2017-08-31)
The production of fully bio-based and biodegradable nanocomposites has gained attention during recent years due to environmental reasons; however, the production of these nanocomposites on the large-scale is challenging. ...
Correlative super-resolution fluorescence and electron microscopy using conventional fluorescent proteins in vacuo
(Elsevier, 2017-08)
Super-resolution light microscopy, correlative light and electron microscopy, and volume electron microscopy are revolutionising the way in which biological samples are examined and understood. Here, we combine these ...
Basic protocols in quantum reinforcement learning with superconducting circuits
(Nature Publishing, 2017-05-09)
Superconducting circuit technologies have recently achieved quantum protocols involving closed feedback loops. Quantum artificial intelligence and quantum machine learning are emerging fields inside quantum technologies ...
CAM development for additive manufacturing in turbo-machinery components
(Elsevier, 2017)
Additive Manufacturing (AM) has become a constantly growing up technology due to the suitability and flexibility in terms of geometry and material diversity. It is applied in high value damaged part repairs from aeronautical, ...
Physico-Chemical and Electrochemical Properties of Nanoparticulate NiO/C Composites for High Performance Lithium and Sodium Ion Battery Anodes
(MDPI, 2017-12-02)
Nanoparticulate NiO and NiO/C composites with different carbon proportions have been prepared for anode application in lithium and sodium ion batteries. Structural characterization demonstrated the presence of metallic Ni ...
Digital-analog quantum simulation of generalized Dicke models with superconducting circuits
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-03-03)
We propose a digital-analog quantum simulation of generalized Dicke models with superconducting circuits, including Fermi- Bose condensates, biased and pulsed Dicke models, for all regimes of light-matter coupling. We ...
Natural Disasters and Indicators of Social Cohesion
(Public Library Science, 2017-06-07)
Do adversarial environmental conditions create social cohesion? We provide new answers to this question by exploiting spatial and temporal variation in exposure to earthquakes across Chile. Using a variety of methods and ...
