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. ...
An observer-based vaccination control law for an SEIR epidemic model based on feedback linearization techniques for nonlinear systems
(Springer, 2012-09)
This paper presents a vaccination strategy for fighting against the propagation of epidemic diseases. The disease propagation is described by an SEIR (susceptible plus infected plus infectious plus removed populations) ...
Sliding Mode Control Strategy for Wind Turbine Power Maximization
(MDPI, 2012-07)
The efficiency of the wind power conversions systems can be greatly improved using an appropriate control algorithm. In this work, a sliding mode control for variable speed wind turbine that incorporates a doubly fed ...
Black Holes, Cosmological Solutions, Future Singularities, and Their Thermodynamical Properties in Modified Gravity Theorie
(MDPI, 2012-09-18)
Along this review, we focus on the study of several properties of modified
gravity theories, in particular on black-hole solutions and its comparison with those solutions in General Relativity, and on Friedmann–Lemaˆıtr ...
An Algebraic Preservation Theorem for Aleph-Zero Categorical Quantified Constraint Satisfaction
(Logical Methods in Computer Science c/o Institut f. Theoretische Informatik, Technische Universität Braunschweig, 2013-03-29)
We prove an algebraic preservation theorem for positive Horn definability in aleph-zero categorical structures. In particular, we define and study a construction which we call the periodic power of a structure, and define ...
Analysis of SUMOylated proteins using SUMO-traps
(Nature Publishing Group, 2013-04-22)
SUMO-modified proteins are recognized by SUMO interacting motifs (SIMs), thus triggering diverse cellular responses. Here SIMs were used to develop SUMO-traps to capture endogenous SUMOylated proteins. Our results show ...
Fault-tolerant almost exact state transmission
(Nature Publishing Group, 2013-11)
We show that a category of one-dimensional XY-type models may enable high-fidelity quantum state transmissions, regardless of details of coupling configurations. This observation leads to a fault-tolerant design of a state ...
Behavioral profile of adults with Prader-Willi syndrome : correlations with individual and environmental variables
(BioMed Central, 2013)
Background: Maladaptive behavior has been reported as a phenotypical feature in Prader–Willi syndrome (PWS). It
severely limits social adaptation and the quality of life of children and adults with the syndrome. Different ...
Association between dietary phylloquinone intake and peripheral metabolic risk markers related to insulin resistance and diabetes in elderly subjects at high cardiovascular risk
(BioMed Central, 2013-01)
Background: Vitamin K has been related to glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity and diabetes. Because inflammation underlies all these metabolic conditions, it is plausible that the potential role of vitamin K in glucose ...
