Ab initio molecular dynamics on the electronic Boltzmann equilibrium distribution
(IOP Publishing, 2010-08-31)
We prove that for a combined system of classical and quantum particles, it is possible to describe a dynamics for the classical particles that incorporates in a natural way the Boltzmann equilibrium population for the ...
Robust Adaptive Stabilization of Linear Time-Invariant Dynamic Systems by Using Fractional-Order Holds and Multirate Sampling Controls
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2010-02)
This paper presents a strategy for designing a robust discrete-time adaptive controller for stabilizing linear time-invariant (LTI) continuous-time dynamic systems. Such systems may be unstable and noninversely stable in ...
α2,3-Sialyltransferase ST3Gal III Modulates Pancreatic Cancer Cell Motility and Adhesion In Vitro and Enhances Its Metastatic Potential In Vivo
(Public Library of Science, 2010-09-01)
Background: Cell surface sialylation is emerging as an important feature of cancer cell metastasis. Sialyltransferase expression has been reported to be altered in tumours and may account for the formation of sialylated ...
Video Quality Prediction Models Based on Video Content Dynamics for H.264 Video over UMTS Networks
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2010)
The aim of this paper is to present video quality prediction models for objective non-intrusive, prediction of H.264 encoded video for all content types combining parameters both in the physical and application layer over ...
Grafted Human Embryonic Progenitors Expressing Neurogenin-2 Stimulate Axonal Sprouting and Improve Motor Recovery after Severe Spinal Cord Injury
(Public Library of Science, 2010-12-30)
Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a widely spread pathology with currently no effective treatment for any symptom. Regenerative medicine through cell transplantation is a very attractive strategy and may be used in ...
Quaternary dichotomous voting rules
(2010-01)
In this paper we provide a general model of "quaternary" dichotomous voting rules (QVRs), namely, voting rules for making collective dichotomous decisions (to accept or reject a proposal), based on vote profiles in which ...
Information, stability and dynamics in networks under institutional constraints
(2010-07)
In this paper we study the effects of institutional constraints on stability, efficiency and network formation. More precisely, an exogenous "societal cover" consisting of a collection of possibly overlapping subsets that ...
Comparing the performance of different approaches to deal with attribute non-attendance in discrete choice experiments: a simulation experiment
(2010)
There is a growing body of literature acknowledging that respondents to DCE often use simplifying strategies, like ignoring one or several attributes to provide with their choices. Two main approaches have appeared to ...
La toma de decisiones en la educación ambiental: un estudio de caso de la enseñanza universitaria
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitateko Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2010-11-12)
El objeto de la investigación es el análisis del proceso de toma de decisión argumentada por parte de estudiantes universitarios de la titulación de Educación Social de la E.U. de Magisterio de Bilbao de la UPV/EHU, cuando ...
Dinamización del comercio urbano en España. Diez años de experiencias de colaboración público-privada: la visión de las administraciones locales
(Empresa Nacional Mercasa, 2010-05)
En España, la colaboración público-privada para la dinamización del comercio urbano es un fenómeno que comenzó a activarse a finales de los 90. A lo largo de esta última década y en torno a lo que se conocen como iniciativas ...
