Explaining the uses of ser and estar: A didactic proposal for English learners of Spanish
(2020-05-20)
The distinction between ser and estar is one of the most difficult aspects of Spanish grammar for English learners of Spanish. There are many authors from different backgrounds that have dealt with this topic aiming to ...
The Use of Songs: An Alternative for Teaching English as a Foreign Language to Adolescents
(2020-05-25)
Songs are widely used to teach language due to the large number of advantages they have for students, beyond the mere linguistic scope. This paper aims at presenting the main benefits the use of songs provides for English ...
Cannabinoid-mediated Modulation of Oxidative Stress and Early Inflammatory Response after Hypoxia–Ischemia
(MDPI, 2020-02-14)
In the process of neonatal encephalopathy, oxidative stress and neuroinflammation have a prominent role after perinatal asphyxia. With the exception of therapeutic hypothermia, no therapeutic interventions are available ...
Cytocompatibility and Suitability of Protein-Based Biomaterials as Potential Candidates for Corneal Tissue Engineering
(MDPI, 2021-03-31)
The vision impairments suffered by millions of people worldwide and the shortage of corneal donors show the need of substitutes that mimic native tissue to promote cell growth and subsequent tissue regeneration. The current ...
Age of Information of a Server with Energy Requirements
(PeerJ, 2021-03-01)
We investigate a system with Poisson arrivals to two queues. One queue stores the status updates of the process of interest (or data packets) and the other handles the energy that is required to deliver the updates to the ...
Optimal performance of parallel-server systems with job size prediction errors
(Elsevier, 2021-05-12)
[EN] Modern communication networks integrate distributed computing architectures, in which customers are processed in parallel. We show how to minimize the waiting time of customer’s jobs by leveraging a simple threshold-based ...
Investigation of new nanofluids based on molten salts and their corrosion mechanisms for thermal energy storage applications.
(2019-10-11)
Thermal energy storage (TES) is considered as a vital component for concentrated solar power (CSP) technology, which leads to cost-effective dispatchable electricity production. The commercial TES technology in CSP plants ...
Magnetic topological quantum chemistry
(Nature Research, 2021-10-13)
[EN]The band topology of nonmagnetic crystals can be characterized by Topological Quantum Chemistry (TQC), whereas the band topology of magnetic crystals remains unexplored. Here, the authors extend TQC to the magnetic ...
Methodology for Tuning MTDC Supervisory and Frequency-Response Control Systems at Terminal Level under Over-Frequency Events
(MDPI, 2020-06-01)
This paper proposes a methodology for tuning a supervisory and frequency-response outer loop control system of a multi-terminal direct current (MTDC) grid designed to transmit offshore wind energy to an onshore AC grid, ...
Improvement in Gender and Transgender Knowledge in University Students Through the Creative Factory Methodology
(Frontiers Media, 2020-03)
