Several cellulosic substrates have been surface-functionalized with cyclomaltoheptaose (b-cyclodextrin, b-CD) using citric acid as a crosslinker agent to obtain new surface-modified materials able to release antiseptic ...

A prototype imaging system for active microwave tomography using cylindrical geometry has been developed, making it possible to obtain images of the dielectric properties of biological targets at 2.45 GHz. This configuration ...

A cylindrical system for microwave tomography working at 2.45 GHz has been presented. In this setup, the body, immersed in water, is illuminated with a cylindrical wave and the measured scattered fields are processed by ...

Broadband dielectric spectroscopy (102 Hz to 1.9 × 109 Hz) and specific heat measurements have been performed on the odd-symmetric dimer R,ω-bis[(4-cyanobiphenyl)-4′-yloxy]undecane (BCB.O11) in the isotropic (I) and ...

Cytidine deaminase (CDA) functions in the pyrimidine salvage pathway for DNA and RNA syntheses and has been shown to protect cancer cells from deoxycytidine-based chemotherapies. In this study, we observed that CDA was ...

Nowadays, nanotechnologies are ones of the newest technologies, which a wide range of applications such as in medicine, biotechnology, electronics, energy or sensing. However, the efficiency of nanomaterials or at least ...

This work describes the implementation of INGRES, one of the first relational data base management systems. The initial release of INGRES, created in Berkeley around 1976, developed to the actual POSTGRES. We study in ...

Neural rendering techniques combining machine learning with geometric reasoning have arisen as one of the most promising approaches for synthesizing novel views of a scene from a sparse set of images. Among these, stands ...

This paper addresses the design of a state-feedback controller for a class of nonlinear parameter varying (NLPV) systems in which the nonlinearity can be expressed as a parameter-varying Lipschitz term. The controller is ...
