Analysis of the Wall Geometry with Different Strategies for High Deposition Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing of Mild Steel
(MDPI, 2020-07-04)
Additive manufacturing has gained relevance in recent decades as an alternative to the manufacture of metal parts. Among the additive technologies, those that are classified as Directed Energy Deposition (DED) are characterized ...
Common p-belief in rationality in centipede games
(2020)
Centipede Games represent a classic puzzle in game theory. In this work, we employ p-beliefs to show that almost any behavior is consistent with rationality and almost Common Belief in Rationality. However, Common p-Belief ...
Thermochemical and Mechanical Properties of Pine Wood Treated by In Situ Polymerization of Methyl Methacrylate (MMA)
(MDPI, 2020-07-17)
The impregnation of low-molecular-weight monomers prior to polymerize them inside the wood may be an efficient way to improve some important wood properties. This work aimed to determine some technological properties of ...
Benefits and Drawbacks of Collaborative Writing for Young Foreign Language Learners: A Case Study on Teachers' Perspective
(2020-05-20)
Collaborative Writing (CW) and its benefits and drawbacks for language learning have been studied by many scholars, mainly concerning adult learners (ALs). Nevertheless, its potential applications to young learners (YLs) ...
Manufacturing Processes of Integral Blade Rotors for Turbomachinery, Processes and New Approaches
(MDPI, 2020-04-28)
Manufacturing techniques applied to turbomachinery components represent a challenge in the aeronautical sector. These components are commonly composed of high resistant super-alloys; in order to satisfy the extreme working ...
Abrasive Disc Performance in Dry-Cutting of Medium-Carbon Steel
(2020-04-19)
Abrasive-cutting processes are widely used to obtain semi-finished products from metal bars, slabs, or tubes. Thus, the abrasive cutting-off process is applied when requiring precision cutting and productivity at a moderate ...
Murine femur micro-computed tomography and biomechanical datasets for an ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis model
(Nature Research, 2021-09-15)
The development of new effective and safer therapies for osteoporosis, in addition to improved diagnostic and prevention strategies, represents a serious need in the scientific community. Micro-CT image-based analyses in ...
Cell and tissue level responses in mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis dietarily exposed to PVP/PEI coated Ag nanoparticles at two seasons
(Elsevier, 2021-01-01)
Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are present in numerous consumer products due to their antimicrobial and other unique properties, thus concerns about their potential input into aquatic ecosystems are increasing. Toxicity of ...
Effects of Gravity and Non-Perpendicularity during Powder-Fed Directed Energy Deposition of Ni-Based Alloy 718 through Two Types of Coaxial Nozzle
(MDPI, 2020-04-24)
The consequences of gravity and the nozzle inclination angle in the powder-fed Directed Energy Deposition (DED) process were examined in this study. We also sought to define guidelines and manufacturing strategies, depending ...
The Effect of a Family-Based Lifestyle Education Program on Dietary Habits, Hepatic Fat and Adiposity Markers in 8–12-Year-Old Children with Overweight/Obesity
(MDPI, 2020-05-16)
Healthy lifestyle education programs are recommended for obesity prevention and treatment. However, there is no previous information on the effects of these programs on the reduction of hepatic fat percentage. The aims ...
