A low-cost noise measurement device for noise mapping based on mobile sampling
(2019-12-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyFor the production of representative noise maps, a large amount of information is necessary, which includes, among others, on-site measurements of environmental noise. Thus, mobile sampling emerges as a possible solution ... -
Statistical requirements for noise mapping based on mobile measurements using bikes
(2019-12-15)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis research presents a modeling framework that allows checking the statistical requirements for producing noise maps based on mobile measurements. First, a sound field of reference is created based on a micro-simulation ... -
A passive portable microfluidic blood-plasma separator for simultaneous determination of direct and indirect ABO/Rh blood typing
(2019-09-03)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe blood typing test is mandatory in any transfusion, organ transplant, and pregnancy situation. There is a lack of point-of-care (POC) blood typing that could perform both direct and indirect methods using a single droplet ... -
Sustainable rural electrification planning in developing countries: a proposal for electrification of isolated communities of Venezuela
(2019-06-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policySmall-scale renewable energy technologies offer impoverished rural communities in developing countries the ability to overcome extreme poverty and improve their living conditions. Unfortunately, most presented frameworks ... -
Rapid predictive simulations with complex musculoskeletal models suggest that diverse healthy and pathological human gaits can emerge from similar control strategies
(2019-08-21)
Article
Open AccessPhysics-based predictive simulations of human movement have the potential to support personalized medicine, but large computational costs and difficulties to model control strategies have limited their use. We have developed ... -
Subject-exoskeleton contact model calibration leads to accurate interaction force predictions
(2019-06-24)
Article
Open AccessKnowledge of human–exoskeleton interaction forces is crucial to assess user comfort and effectiveness of the interaction. The subject-exoskeleton collaborative movement and its interaction forces can be predicted in silico ... -
Analysis of the influence of coordinate and dynamic formulations on solving biomechanical optimal control problems
(2019-08-02)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyPredictive simulations are useful in biomechanics to determine the optimal trajectories between two mechanical states and their forces in an in-silico approach. To perform these predictions, optimal control problems are ... -
Numerical model for a nineteenth-century hydrometric module
(2019-11-01)
Article
Open AccessThe Cequia of Manresa is a 26-km open channel constructed in the fourteenth century that conveys water from the Llobregat River to the city of Manresa using an elevation difference of 10.4 m. The channel is still operational ... -

Socioecological diagnosis and peri-urban family agriculture typification, with emphasis in the production of peach (Prunus persica), in El Jarillo, Venezuela
(2019-06-01)
Article
Open AccessThe objective of this work was to typify and describe, from a socioecological perspective, the agricultural activity of the family farming systems in El Jarillo, Venezuela. A transversal descriptive research was carried ... -
Hemostasis-on-a-chip: Impedance spectroscopy meets microfluidics for hemostasis evaluation
(2019-08-14)
Article
Open AccessIn the case of vascular injury, a complex process (of clotting) starts, involving mainly platelets and coagulation factors. This process in healthy humans is known as hemostasis, but when it is deregulated (thrombosis), ... -
Effect of grain size and density of abrasive on surface roughness, material removal rate and acoustic emission signal in rough honing processes
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2019-08-01)
Article
Open AccessHoning processes provide a special cross-hatch pattern to the internal surface of cylinders that favors oil flow. However, along honing operation the abrasive grains wear out and lose their ability to cut material. The ...
