The application of the laccase mediator system (L stage) to TCF bleached pulp from Eucalyptus globulus with a low residual lignin content provides useful information about its effect in the hexenuronic acids content, ...

Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed in a wide range of densities along a near critical isotherm of supercritical water in order to reveal the interconnection between the local hydrogen bonding (HB) network ...

This study discussed the effect of the heterogeneous microstructure generated through the Repetitive Corrugation and Straightening (RCS) process on the mechanical and stress corrosion cracking behavior of the AA7075. As a ...

This paper presents a new methodology to develop “thiol-epoxy” shape-memory polymers (SMPs) with enhanced mechanical properties in a simple and efficient manner via “click” chemistry by using thermal latent initiators. ...

We focus on the impacts of the polar cap ionospheric sporadic-E (Es) layer that occurred at Resolute Bay, Canada, on September 5, 2012, on the quality of the Global Positioning System (GPS) observable and the positioning ...

The aim of this work is to evaluate the use of Poly(lactic acid)(PLA) industrial waste as a source of raw material for certain applications, as well to understand the effects of the annealing on the fracture behaviour of ...

The fractional open circuit voltage (FOCV) method is extensively used in low-power energy harvesting (EH) sources to extract maximum power. For fast-varying EH sources a fast sampling rate is required. This work theoretically ...

Separated representations are commonly used to avoid the so-called curse of dimensionality, that is, an exponential increase in the number of degrees of freedom with the number of dimensions. In order to use separated ...

Despite its importance in some structures, shear deformation is systematically neglected by most static structural system identification methods. To fill this gap, this paper analyzes, for the first time in the literature, ...
