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. ...
Temperature-and pH-Sensitive Nanohydrogels of Poly(N-Isopropylacrylamide) for Food Packaging Applications: Modelling the Swelling-Collapse Behaviour
(Public Library of Science, 2014-02)
Temperature-sensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA) nanohydrogels were synthesized by nanoemulsion polymerization in water-in-oil systems. Several cross-linking degrees and the incorporation of acrylic acid as comonomer ...
Electronic properties of graphene grain boundaries
(IOP Publishing, 2014-08-08)
Grain boundaries and defect lines in graphene are intensively studied for their novel electronic and magnetic properties. However, there is not a complete comprehension of the appearance of localized states along these ...
A Delphi Process to Optimize Quality and Performance of Drug Evaluation in Neonates
(Public Library Science, 2014-09-11)
Background: Neonatal trials remain difficult to conduct for several reasons: in particular the need for study sites to have an existing infrastructure in place, with trained investigators and validated quality procedures ...
Results on proximal and generalized weak proximal contractions including the case of iteration-dependent range sets
(Springer International Publishing, 2014-07-18)
This paper presents some further results on proximal and asymptotic proximal contractions and on a class of generalized weak proximal contractions in metric spaces. The generalizations are stated for non-self-mappings of ...
The prevalence of diabetes-related complications and multimorbidity in the population with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the Basque Country
(Biomed Central, 2014-10-10)
Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with a diverse range of pathologies. The aim of the study was to determine the incidence of diabetes-related complications, the prevalence of coexistent chronic conditions ...
A Real-Time Sliding Mode Control for a Wind Energy System Based on a Doubly Fed Induction Generator
(MDPI, 2014-10)
In this paper, a real time sliding mode control scheme for a variable speed wind turbine that incorporates a doubly feed induction generator is described. In this design, the so-called vector control theory is applied, in ...
Coincidence point theorems in quasi-metric spaces without assuming the mixed monotone property and consequences in G-metric spaces
(Springer International Publishing, 2014-09)
In this paper, we present some coincidence point theorems in the setting of quasi-metric spaces that can be applied to operators which not necessarily have the mixed monotone property. As a consequence, we particularize ...
