Perovskite-Based Catalysts as Efficient, Durable, and Economical NOx Storage and Reduction Systems
(MDPI, 2020-02-09)
Diesel engines operate under net oxidizing environment favoring lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions than stoichiometric gasoline engines. However, NOx reduction and soot removal is still a technological challenge under ...
Prediction of Antimalarial Drug-Decorated Nanoparticle Delivery Systems with Random Forest Models
(MDPI, 2020-07-30)
Drug-decorated nanoparticles (DDNPs) have important medical applications. The current work combined Perturbation Theory with Machine Learning and Information Fusion (PTMLIF). Thus, PTMLIF models were proposed to predict ...
Net-Net AutoML Selection of Artificial Neural Network Topology for Brain Connectome Prediction
(MDPI, 2020-02-14)
Brain Connectome Networks (BCNs) are defined by brain cortex regions (nodes) interacting with others by electrophysiological co-activation (edges). The experimental prediction of new interactions in BCNs represents a ...
Effect of the TrFE Content on the Crystallization and SSA Thermal Fractionation of P(VDF-co-TrFE) Copolymers
(MDPI, 2022-09-08)
In this contribution, we study the effect of trifluoro ethylene (TrFE) comonomer content (samples with 80/20, 75/25, and 70/30 VDF/TrFE molar ratios were used) on the crystallization in P(VDF-co-TrFE) in comparison with a ...
Equivalence between the Existence of Best Proximity Points and Fixed Points for Some Classes of Proximal Contractions
(MDPI, 2022-09-13)
In the year 2014, Almeida et al. introduced a new class of mappings, namely, contractions of Geraghty type. Additionally, in the year 2021, Beg et al. introduced the concept of generalized F-proximal contraction of the ...
Impact of Machine Learning Pipeline Choices in Autism Prediction from Functional Connectivity Data
(World Scientific, 2021-01-20)
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a largely prevalent neurodevelopmental condition with a big social and economical impact affecting the entire life of families. There is an intense search for biomarkers that can be assessed ...
COLAEVA: Visual Analytics and Data Mining Web-Based Tool for Virtual Coaching of Older Adult Populations
(MDPI, 2021-10-30)
The global population is aging in an unprecedented manner and the challenges for improving the lives of older adults are currently both a strong priority in the political and healthcare arena. In this sense, preventive ...
Thermodynamic Solution Properties of a Biodegradable Chelant (L-glutamic-N,N-diacetic Acid, L-GLDA) and Its Sequestering Ability toward Cd2+
(MDPI, 2021-11-23)
The thermodynamics of the interaction of L-glutamic-N,N-diacetic acid (GLDA) with protons was studied potentiometrically at different temperatures, ionic strengths and ionic media. Four protonation constants and corresponding ...
Early Development of the Neanderthal Ribcage Reveals a Different Body Shape at Birth Compared to Modern Humans
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2020-10-07)
Ontogenetic studies provide clues for understanding important paleobiological aspects of extinct species. When compared to that of modern humans, the adult Neanderthal thorax was shorter, deeper, and wider. This is related ...
Cortical thinning over two years after first-episode psychosis depends on age of onset.
(Nature Portfolio, 2022-03-11)
[EN] First-episode psychosis (FEP) patients show structural brain abnormalities at the first episode. Whether the cortical changes that follow a FEP are progressive and whether age at onset modulates these changes remains ...
