Advanced-Retarded Differential Equations in Quantum Photonic Systems
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-02-23)
We propose the realization of photonic circuits whose dynamics is governed by advanced-retarded differential equations. Beyond their mathematical interest, these photonic configurations enable the implementation of quantum ...
Creating stable Floquet–Weyl semimetals by laser-driving of 3D Dirac materials
(Nature Publishing, 2017-01-17)
Tuning and stabilizing topological states, such as Weyl semimetals, Dirac semimetals or topological insulators, is emerging as one of the major topics in materials science. Periodic driving of many-body systems offers a ...
Subtitling for d/Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Children: Current Practices and New Possibilities to Enhance Language Development
(MDPI AG, 2017-06-30)
In order to understand and fully comprehend a subtitle, two parameters within the
linguistic code of audiovisual texts are key in the processing of the subtitle itself, namely, vocabulary
and syntax. Through a descriptive ...
A Robust Optimization Based Energy-Aware Virtual Network Function Placement Proposal for Small Cell 5G Networks with Mobile Edge Computing Capabilities
(Hindawi, 2017)
In the context of cloud-enabled 5G radio access networks with network function virtualization capabilities, we focus on the virtual network function placement problem for a multitenant cluster of small cells that provide ...
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 ...
Routing in MobileWireless Sensor Networks: A Leader-Based Approach
(MDPI, 2017-07)
This paper presents a leader-based approach to routing in Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks (MWSN). Using local information from neighbour nodes, a leader election mechanism maintains a spanning tree in order to provide the ...
Activation of Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinases (ERK 1/2) in the Locus Coeruleus Contributes to Pain-Related Anxiety in Arthritic Male Rats
(Oxford University Press, 2017-06)
Background: There is increasing evidence suggesting that the Locus Coeruleus plays a role in pain-related anxiety. Indeed, we previously found that prolonged arthritis produces anxiety-like behavior in rats, along with ...
A PC-tool to calculate the Moisture Buffer Value
(Elsevier, 2017)
Hygroscopic building materials have the ability to moderate the relative humidity variation without the need for active systems. The moisture buffer phenomenon can be assessed by way of the Moisture Buffer Value (MBV). ...
Analysis of the dressing process using stationary dressing tools
(Elsevier, 2017)
Grinding process is a very important process in machining industry to manufacture high quality part. The correct preparation of grinding wheel involves dressing process taking importance to optimize grinding process. Due ...
