Cointegration and coupling a perfect metamaterial absorber (PMA) together with a film bulk acoustic wave resonator (FBAR) in a monolithic fashion is introduced for the purpose of producing ultracompact uncooled infrared ...

Nanocomposites formed by a phase-dispersed nanomaterial and a polymeric host matrix are highly attractive for nano- and micro-fabrication. The combination of nanoscale and bulk materials aims at achieving an effective in...

This book presents the contents of an introduction course to Computer Science for engineering disciplines where the engineer makes use of the computer not only as an "office tool" but also as an integral part of his desi...

The main objective of this research work is to develop a new low-cost isolated three-level ac-dc power converter topology with a reduced number of switches. Existing three-level converter topologies change ac power to dc...

There are numerous methods described in the literature that explain how to reduction certain types of costs. Most of the methods mentioned in the literature do not list specific cost reduction measures and activities. ...

Lithium niobate integrated photonics has recently received significant attention because it exploits the attractive properties of lithium niobate on an integrated platform which provides strong optical confinement as wel...

Combustion lies at the heart of gas turbine technology. The combustor is the power source that aids the acceleration of flight. It provides the core functionality of adding heat through the controlled burn of the air-fue...

Abstract Introduction Suicide is a serious public health problem that affects the whole world. This study describes development of the prototype for an mHealth application (app) intended to assist healthcare profession...

pH sensors are extremely useful in various applications such as health, food and environmental monitoring. Due to this fact the development of planar, low-cost and high-performance pH sensors that can be fabricated in la...

Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) continue to grow in both popularity and utility within the national airspace system. The use of commercial UAS for civil inspection, specifically that of bridge structures, is becoming commo...

Myo-inositol (myo-Ins) and D-chiro-inositol (D-chiro-Ins) are natural compounds involved in many biological pathways. Since the discovery of their involvement in endocrine signal transduction, myo-Ins and D-chiro-Ins sup...

Background: Dietary strategies, including the use of probiotics as preventive agents that modulate the gut microbiota and regulate the function of adipose tissue, are suitable tools for the prevention or amelioration of ...

Photodetectors based on semiconducting materials are vital building blocks for modern systems containing optoelectronic modules. Although commercial semiconductors have established good performances, they are plagued by ...

Nuestro trabajo tiene por objeto analizar la metamorfosis del fenómeno urbano, focalizándonos en una nueva mutación: las mega-regiones urbanas. Consideramos que se trata de un salto a nivel de escala y de funcionalida...

ABSTRACT In this study, the toxic effects of melittin on Madin-Darby Bovine Kidney cells (MDBK) were analyzed with respect to mitochondrial functionality by reduction of MTT and flow cytometry, apoptosis potential, necro...

Near-infrared (NIR)-activable liposomes containing photosensitizer (PS)-lipid conjugates are emerging as tunable, high-payload, and tumor-selective platforms for photodynamic therapy (PDT)-based theranostics. To date, th...

Since the adoption of portable devices like smartphones or smartwatches, the usage of applications has rapidly increased for supporting diverse daily activities from connecting with friends to measuring running distance....

Phase-only light modulation is an important functionality for many optoelectronic applications. Although modulation efficiency can be significantly improved by using optical resonances, resonance detuning is always accom...

Strong-field photoemission from nanostructures and the associated temporally modulated currents play a key role in the development of ultrafast vacuum optoelectronics. Optical light fields could push their operation band...

Tyrosine is an amino acid related to crucial physiological events and its oxidation, that produce beneficial or detrimental effects on biological systems, has been extensively studied. Degradation of tyrosine often begin...

Abstract Background Vincristine might increase circulating platelet numbers but the functional capacity of these newly released platelets is unknown. Objective To evaluate and compare the functionality of mature and imma...

Background: Combined antiretroviral treatment (cART) for HIV infection is highly effective in controlling viral replication. However, it cannot achieve a sterilizing cure. Several strategies have been proposed to achieve...

The paper deals with atypical elements in the organization of public administration in the Czech Republic. It seeks to define the essence and possible causes of organizational “atypicality” (deviations, exceptions, a...
