Emerging Ionic Soft Materials based on Deep Eutectic Solvents
(ACS, 2020-07-21)
In the last five years, the use of deep eutectic solvents (DES) have been opening new perspectives towards the creation of novel ionic soft materials as alternatives to expensive ionic liquids. This Mini-Review highlights ...
Switching Control Strategy for Oscillating Water Columns Based on Response Amplitude Operators for Floating Offshore Wind Turbines Stabilization
(MDPI, 2021-06-05)
In this article, a new strategy for switching control has been proposed with the aim of reducing oscillations in floating offshore wind turbines. Such oscillations lead to a shortage in the system’s efficiency, lifespan ...
Effect of Symmetrically Switched Rectifier Topologies on the Frequency Regulation of Standalone Micro-Hydro Power Plants
(MDPI, 2021-05-30)
Micro-hydro power plants (μHPPs) are a major energy source in grid-isolated zones because they do not require reservoirs and dams to be built. μHPPs operate in a standalone mode, but a continuously varying load generates ...
(r)HDL in Theranostics: How Do We Apply HDL's Biology for Precision Medicine in Atherosclerosis Management?
(Royal Society Of Chemistry, 2021-03-19)
High-density lipoproteins (HDL) are key players in cholesterol metabolism homeostasis since they are responsible for transporting excess cholesterol from peripheral tissues to the liver. Imbalance in this process, due to ...
Radio Propagation in Terrestrial Broadcasting Television Systems: A Comprehensive Survey
(IEEE-Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2021-02-22)
During the last two decades, terrestrial TV broadcasting has evolved from analog to digital technology, permitting a better spectrum efficiency, being more resistant to noise and interference as well as improving signal ...
Predictive CDN Selection for Video Delivery Based on LSTM Network Performance Forecasts and Cost-Effective Trade-Offs
(IEEE-Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2021-03)
Owing to increasing consumption of video streams and demand for higher quality content and more advanced displays, future telecommunication networks are expected to outperform current networks in terms of key performance ...
Living with opioids: A qualitative study with patients with chronic low back pain
(Wiley, 2020-06)
[EN] Background: Opioids are one of the most prescribed treatments for chronic pain
(CP). However, their long-term use (>3 months) has been surrounded by controversy,
due to loss of beneficial effects.
Objective: To ...
Decoupled Ion Mobility in Nano-Confined Ionic Plastic Crystal
(Royal Society Of Chemistry, 2020-12-01)
Nanoconfined ions have dramatically different local environments compared to the bulk, which profoundly affects the ion solvation and transport properties taking place in the confined space. Herein, we investigate the ...
The queen of Carthage and her trojan lover: a comparative study of the relationship between Dido and Aeneas from antiquity to modernity
(2020-12-21)
The relevance of Virgil´s The Aeined has prevailed over time and specifically Dido´s story has awaken the interest of several authors that have rewritten their version in different periods. From Virgil´s passive characterization ...
Interplay between microstructure/morphology and the opto-electronic properties of materials for organic photovoltaics.
(2021-11-19)
Esta tesis recoge un amplio marco de trabajo que incluye la relación microestructura-procesado-morfología-propiedades de un sistema modelo de alto rendimiento en fotovoltaica orgánica. En primer lugar, la tesis aborda las ...
