(MDPI, 2021-04-16)
Adolescents’ problematic use of the internet and the risk of sexual online victimization are an increasing concern among families, researchers, professionals and society. This study aimed to analyze the interplay between ...
Safety.Net: A Pilot Study on a Multi-Risk Internet Prevention Program
(MDPI, 2021-04-16)
Many programs exist to prevent bullying and cyberbullying. Nevertheless, despite evidence of the numerous overlapping risks of the Internet, programs that jointly and adequately address large sets of risks are not presently ...
Fixed Point Theorems for Nonexpansive Type Mappings in Banach Spaces
(MDPI, 2021-04-02)
In this paper, we present some fixed point results for a class of nonexpansive type and α-Krasnosel’skiĭ mappings. Moreover, we present some convergence results for one parameter nonexpansive type semigroups. Some non-trivial ...
A Weak Tripled Contraction for Solving a Fuzzy Global Optimization Problem in Fuzzy Metric Spaces
(MDPI, 2021-03-29)
In the setting of fuzzy metric spaces (FMSs), a global optimization problem (GOP) obtaining the distance between two subsets of an FMS is solved by a tripled fixed-point (FP) technique here. Also, fuzzy weak tripled ...
Soundscape in Times of Change: Case Study of a City Neighbourhood During the COVID-19 Lockdown
(Frontiers Media, 2021-03-24)
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) lockdown meant a greatly reduced social and economic activity. Sound is of major importance to people's perception of the environment, and some remarked that the soundscape was ...
Quarantine-mode based live patching for zero downtime safety-critical systems
(2019-12-10)
En esta tesis se presenta una arquitectura y diseño de software, llamado Cetratus, que permite las actualizaciones en caliente en sistemas críticos, donde se efectúan actualizaciones dinámicas de los componentes de la ...
Large magnetoelectric coupling in multiferroic oxide heterostructures assembled via epitaxial lift-off
(Nature, 2020-06-24)
Epitaxial films may be released from growth substrates and transferred to structurally and chemically incompatible substrates, but epitaxial films of transition metal perovskite oxides have not been transferred to electroactive ...
Onco-Receptors Targeting in Lung Cancer via Application of Surface-Modified and Hybrid Nanoparticles: A Cross-Disciplinary Review
(MDPI, 2021-04-01)
Lung cancer is among the most prevalent and leading causes of death worldwide. The major reason for high mortality is the late diagnosis of the disease, and in most cases, lung cancer is diagnosed at fourth stage in which ...
Magnetic Properties of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Do Not Essentially Contribute to Ferrogel Biocompatibility
(MDPI, 2021-04-19)
Two series of composite polyacrylamide (PAAm) gels with embedded superparamagnetic Fe2O3 or diamagnetic Al2O3 nanoparticles were synthesized, aiming to study the direct contribution of the magnetic interactions to the ...
High Biofilm Formation of Non-Smooth Candida parapsilosis Correlates with Increased Incorporation of GPI-Modified Wall Adhesins
(MDPI, 2021-04-19)
Candida parapsilosis is among the most frequent causes of candidiasis. Clinical isolates of this species show large variations in colony morphotype, ranging from round and smooth to a variety of non-smooth irregular colony ...
