Semi-analytical and numerical techniques to systematically analyze and compute natural connections between quasi-periodic orbits associated to non-autonomous systems are considered. Focusing in the non-autonomous Sun-Earth+Moon ...

Wounds in multicellular tissue occur regularly through the lifetime of living organisms, and the closure of these gaps is fundamental for their healthy development. From the physiological point of view, the success in ...

t is well known that biological tissues adapt their properties because of different mechanical and chemical stimuli. The goal of this work is to study the collagen turnover in the arterial tissue of hypertensive patients ...

The proposal of an artificial bladder is still a challenge to overcome. Bladder cancer is among the most frequent cases of oncologic diseases in United States and Europe. It is considered a major medical problem once this ...

Piezoelectricity, the two-way coupling between electric polarization and strain is the basic mechanism behind most electromechanical transduction technologies. It is possible only in a limited number of materials, namely ...

Environmental concerns regarding climate change and ozone depletion urge for a paradigm shift in the cooling production. The cooling demand exhibits an alarmingly increasing trend, thus its satisfaction in a sustainable ...
