Visual Outcomes And Management After Corneal Refractive Surgery: A Review
(Elsevier, 2018-04)
Corneal refractive surgery procedures are widely performed to permanently correct refractive errors. Overall, refractive surgeries are safe, predictable and present high rates of satisfaction. Nevertheless, the induced ...
Flow Control in Wells Turbines For Harnessing Maximum Wave Power
(MDPI, 2018-02)
Oceans, and particularly waves, offer a huge potential for energy harnessing all over the world. Nevertheless, the performance of current energy converters does not yet allow us to use the wave energy efficiently. However, ...
Adaptive Static Line Rating for Systems with HTLS Conductors
(IEEE, 2018)
Operation and planning of a power system are constrained by the rating of power lines. Usually, the static line rating is used for system operation and planning. The static line rating defined for an electric grid uses the ...
Reducing the Number of Individuals to Monitor Shoaling Fish Systems - Application of the Shannon Entropy to Construct a Biological Warning System Model
(Frontiers Media SA, 2018-05-08)
The present study aims at identifying the lowest number of fish (European seabass) that could be used for monitoring and/or experimental purposes in small-scale fish facilities by quantifying the effect that the number of ...
Catechol End-Functionalized Polylactide by Organocatalyzed Ring-Opening Polymerization
(MDPI, 2018-02-06)
There is a great interest in incorporating catechol moieties into polymers in a controlled manner due to their interesting properties, such as the promotion of adhesion, redox activity or bioactivity. One possibility is ...
Symptomatic Management of Febrile Illnesses in Children: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Parents' Knowledge and Behaviors and Their Evolution Over Time
(Frontiers Media, 2018-10-05)
Recommendations to guide parents' symptomatic management of febrile illnesses in children have been published in many countries. The lack of systematic appraisal of parents' knowledge and behaviors and their evolution over ...
Accuracy Evaluation of Dense Matching Techniques for Casting Part Dimensional Verification
(MDPI, 2018-09)
Product optimization for casting and post-casting manufacturing processes is becoming compulsory to compete in the current global manufacturing scenario. Casting design, simulation and verification tools are becoming crucial ...
Unexpected Synthesis of Segmented Poly(hydroxyurea−urethane)s from Dicyclic Carbonates and Diamines by Organocatalysis
(ACS, 2018-07-17)
A complete study of the effect of different organocatalysts on the step-growth polyaddition of a five-membered
dicyclic carbonate, namely diglycerol dicarbonate, with a poly(ethylene glycol)-based diamine in bulk at 120 ...
Non-Isocyanate Polyurethane Soft Nanoparticles Obtained by Surfactant-Assisted Interfacial Polymerization
(ACS, 2017-01-24)
Polyurethanes (PUs) are considered ideal candidates for drug delivery applications due to their easy synthesis, excellent mechanical properties, and biodegradability. Unfortunately, methods for preparing well-defined PU ...
Ubiquitylation Dynamics of the Clock Cell Proteome and TIMELESS During a Circadian Cycle
(Cell Press, 2018-05-22)
Circadian clocks have evolved as time-measuring molecular devices to help organisms adapt their physiology to daily changes in light and temperature. Transcriptional oscillations account for a large fraction of rhythmic ...
