Age of Information of Parallel Server Systems with Energy Harvesting
(MDPI, 2021-11-21)
Motivated by current communication networks in which users can choose different transmission channels to operate and also by the recent growth of renewable energy sources, we study the average Age of Information of a status ...
Advances in Waterborne Polyurethane and Polyurethane-Urea Dispersions and Their Eco-friendly Derivatives: A Review
(MDPI, 2021-01-27)
Polyurethanes and polyurethane-ureas, particularly their water-based dispersions, have gained relevance as an extremely versatile area based on environmentally friendly approaches. The evolution of their synthesis methods, ...
Linguistic taboos and swear words in EFL learning and teaching: an empirical study
(2022-03-08)
A taboo word is a word that should be avoided because it is considered to be wrong, embarrassing or unpleasant (Cambridge Dictionary, n.d.). A swear word is a word that is also considered rude and offensive according to ...
Structural Health Monitoring Using Ultrasonic Guided-Waves and the Degree of Health Index
(MDPI, 2021-02-02)
This paper proposes a new damage index named degree of health (DoH) to efficiently tackle structural damage monitoring in real-time. As a key contribution, the proposed index relies on a pattern matching methodology that ...
English neologisms in modern times
(2022-03-07)
The study on neologisms or the new words created in a language has been gaining strength lately and has been getting the attention of linguists. It is obvious that neologisms produce a feeling of curiosity since they ...
Fragile Phases as Affine Monoids: Classification and Material Examples
(American Physical Society, 2020-07-01)
Topological phases in electronic structures contain a new type of topology, called fragile, which can arise, for example, when an elementary band representation (atomic limit band) splits into a particular set of bands. ...
Complex Formalism of the Linear Beam Dynamics
(IEEE-Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2021-03)
It has long been known that the ellipse normally used to model the phase space extension of a beam in linear dynamics may be represented by a complex number which can be interpreted similar to a complex impedance in ...
Development of an electrical resistance-based corrosion monitoring system for offshore applications.
(2022-04-28)
El objetivo principal de la tesis es el desarrollo de un sistema de monitorización remota de la corrosión para estructuras off-shore (eólica y oil & gas). Mediante este sistema se pretende medir en forma remota la velocidad ...
Site-Selective C - H Functionalization of Amino Acids and Peptides Upon Radical Chemistry
(2021-04-15)
El objetivo de esta Tesis Doctoral ha sido desarrollar nuevas metodologías de modificación selectiva decompuestos peptídicos. Por un lado, hemos estudiado metales alternativos como el cobalto para lamodificación C-H selectiva ...
Leigh Syndrome Associated with TRMU Gene Mutations
(Elsevier, 2021-03)
tRNA 5-methylaminomethyl-2-thiouridylate methyltransferase (TRMU) deficiency causes an early onset potentially reversible acute liver failure, so far reported in less than 30 patients. We describe two new unrelated patients ...
