Aspects and Some Results on Passivity and Positivity of Dynamic Systems
(IOP Publishing, 2017)
This paper is devoted to discuss certain aspects of passivity results in dynamic systems and the characterization of the regenerative systems counterparts. In particular, the various concepts of passivity as standard ...
Catalytic performance of a new 1D Cu(II) coordination polymer {Cu(NO3)(H2O)}(HTae)(4,4'-Bpy)
(2017-03)
There has been extensive interest in the synthesis and design of new porous coordination
polymers [1] because of their potential applicability in different areas. One interesting crystal
engineering approach to construct ...
Retrospective Head Motion Estimation in Structural Brain MRI with 3D CNNs
(Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention − MICCAI 2017. Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2017)
Head motion is one of the most important nuisance variables in neuroimaging, particularly in studies of clinical or special populations, such as children. However, the possibility of estimating motion in structural MRI is ...
Functionalization of Cu3BTC2@IL composites with Pd(II) for catalytic applications
(2017-10-29)
Metal-organic frameworks could be excellent supports for active catalytic species in order to obtain heterogeneous and reusable catalysts, easily removable from the reaction media.[1,2] Additionally, the presence of ...
Kinematic Analysis of a Continuum Parallel Robot
(Springer, 2017)
Continuum Parallel Robots are mechanical devices with closed loops where kinematic pairs have been eliminated and motion is obtained by large deformations of certain elements. Most compliant mechanisms use notches in thick ...
Kinematic Analysis of a Flexible Tensegrity Robot
(Springer, 2017)
In the field of parallel kinematics few designs use highly deformable elements to obtain the end effector movement. Most compliant mechanisms rely on notches or shape changes to simulate a standard kinematic joint. In this ...
Impulsive Vaccination for an Epidemiology Model
(IOP Publishing, 2017)
This paper investigates sufficient conditions of almost periodic sand periodic solutions of an integral model under impulsive controls. Since the model is of generic epidemiological interest, such impulsive controls are ...
Romanticism, Alexander von Humboldt and the distinction of “Natur” and “Geist”
(2017-02-28)
Alexander von Humboldt is often considered a decisive figure in establishing clear methodological standards in modern natural sciences. But many people forget that he was a true Romanticist in his descriptions of nature ...
Stability study of MOF@IL composite materials
(2017-03)
Metal-organic frameworks (MOF) offer unique advantages for many applications due to their
ordered structures, high thermal stability, tunable chemical functionality, ultra-high porosity and
the availability of hundreds ...
Ionic liquids in the control of the poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) membranes morphology
(2017-12-13)
The development of polymer membranes with tailored micro-morphology and wettability are a demand in the areas of filtration, sensors or tissue engineering, among others. Poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) ...
