Learning positioning policies for mobile manipulation operations with deep reinforcement learning
(Springer Nature, 2023)
This work focuses on the operation of picking an object on a table with a mobile manipulator. We use deep reinforcement
learning (DRL) to learn a positioning policy for the robot’s base by considering the reachability ...
Sir Orfeo as the Source for the Medieval Romance Topoi of Abduction and Otherworld Rampant within The Hobbit’s Mirkwood
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-08-25)
In view of Jason Fisher’s (2011) principles for a rigorous study of J. R. R. Tolkien’s sources, this paper aims to demonstrate that the relationship between Sir Orfeo (c.1330) and The Hobbit (1937) is of influence and not ...
The determination of optimum segmentation parameters using genetic algorithms: Application to different segmentation algorithms and transmission electron microscopy tomography reconstructed volumes
(Wiley, 2023-10)
A method for optimizing an automatic selection of values for parameters that feed segmentation algorithms is proposed. Evolutionary optimization techniques in combination with a fitness function based on a mutual information ...
PK/PD modeling and simulation of the in vitro activity of the combinations of isavuconazole with echinocandins against Candida auris
(Wiley, 2023-06)
In vitro combination of echinocandins and isavuconazole against the emerging species Candida auris is mainly synergistic. However, this combination has not been evaluated in clinical settings. A pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic ...
Self-assembly and crystallization of double crystalline aliphatic thermoplastic biopolyurethane and its nucleation with cellulose nanocrystals
(Elsevier, 2022-01-13)
[EN] An aliphatic segmented thermoplastic biopolyurethane (STPU), based on aliphatic hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and 1,3 propanediol (1,3PD) as urethane rich phase and a poly(sebacate) as a macrodiol phase, with ~50 ...
Optimal design and operation of thermal energy storage systems in micro-cogeneration plants
(Elsevier, 2020-03-12)
The implementation of micro-cogeneration plants in residential buildings requires a technical and economic viability study. This analysis depends greatly on the regulatory framework controlling this kind of installations, ...
The ABC of Generalized Coordination Numbers and Their Use as a Descriptor in Electrocatalysis
(Wiley, 2023-07)
The quest for enhanced electrocatalysts can be boosted by descriptor-based analyses. Because adsorption energies are the most common descriptors, electrocatalyst design is largely based on brute-force routines that comb ...
Investigating the Extent to which Distributional Semantic Models Capture a Broad Range of Semantic Relations
(WILEY, 2023)
Distributional semantic models (DSMs) are a primary method for distilling semantic information from corpora. However, a key question remains: What types of semantic relations among words do DSMs detect? Prior work typically ...
Integrative genomic analyses reveal mechanisms of glucocorticoid resistance in acute lymphoblastic leukemia
(Springer Nature, 2020-03)
Identification of genomic and epigenomic determinants of drug resistance provides important insights for improving cancer treatment. Using agnostic genome-wide interrogation of mRNA and miRNA expression, DNA methylation, ...
Synthesis of Waterborne Anticorrosive Coatings Based on The Incorporation of Phosphate Groups to Polyurethane-Acrylate Hybrids
(Wiley, 2023-08)
In this work, solvent-free waterborne polyurethane-poly(meth)acrylate hybrid dispersions that can be used to formulate anticorrosive paints are synthesized. To achieve the anticorrosive protection, a phosphate containing ...
