"Patients that suffer Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) undergo a procedure called Pulmonary Rehabilitation that helps them to improve disease prognosis. Pulmonary Rehabilitation consists of different physical...

"Local Field Potentials (LFPs) are easy to access electrical signals of the brain that represent the summation in the extracellular space, of currents originated within the neurons. As such, LFPs could contain infor mati...

"Poly(lactic acid)/bacterial cellulose nanocomposites were prepared by solvent casting. Aiming to reduce the incompatibility between polar bacterial cellulose (BC) and the nonpolar poly(lactic acid) (PLA) matrix which in...

"We report the existence of financial stylized facts in a system of mechanical vehicles driven by vibration (VDV). The VDVs are restricted to a closed geometry that is composed of two chambers connected by an opening whi...

"We propose an original, simple, and direct method to measure self-steepening (SS) in nonlinear waveguides. Our proposal is based on results derived from the recently introduced photon-conserving nonlinear Schrödinger e...

"The phenomenon of phase inversion occurs in liquid-liquid dispersions found in a variety of chemical engineering fields. From simple oil-water mixtures to complex polymeric systems, the operating variables that affect...

"In this Letter, we present, for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, the modulation instability (MI) gain spectrum of waveguides with an arbitrary frequency-dependent nonlinear coefficient ensuring strict energ...

"This work presents a multi-unmanned aerial vehicle formation implementing a trajectory-following controller based on the clusterspace robot coordination method. The controller is augmented with a feed-forward input from...

"The aim of this letter is to introduce the permutation min-entropy as an improved symbolic tool for identifying the existence of hidden temporal correlations in time series. On the one hand, analytical results obtained ...

"In agitated systems, the phase inversion (PI) phenomenon – the mechanism by which a dispersed phase becomes the continuous one – has been studied extensively in an empirical manner and few models have been put for...

"We present a new method for obtaining the positions of each person attending an outdoor gathering. From this information it is possible to calculate the density field and the number of people. A dual-camera (visible + i...

"The water pollution due to emerging organic pollutants, such as agrochemicals, has become a topic of growing interest worldwide. The increase of pollutants in aquatic systems stimulated the development of new strategies...

"The General Transit Feed Specication (GTFS) is a data format used to express public transportation schedules and associated geographic information created in 2006 by Google. It is now widely used all around the world in...

"Gravitatonal waves, the seed of the 2015 Nobel’s prize are the cause of several complex celestial phenomena that is non-observable for the naked eye. Their identification, classification and study is s(ll a handmade w...

"After encoding, memories go through a labile state followed by a stabilization process known as consolidation. Once consolidated they can enter a new labile state after the presentation of a reminder (cue) of the origin...

"Episodic memory is the ability to recover past experiences and projects ourselves into the future. It is related to contextual information (both spatially and temporally). This type of memory is highly sensitive to agi...

"This work proposes a methodological approach to the insertion of a particular artifact produced by eyes blinking, in EEG data, in order to create a pseudo-real dataset, which in turn provides an experimental setup to te...

"False memories are memories of events that did not happen or are altered in their content. It has been shown that not only small distortions can be introduced into old memories but also entire memories of events that ne...

"Tilted rotors in multirotor vehicles have shown to be useful for different practical reasons. For instance, increasing yaw maneuverability or enabling full position and attitude control of hexarotor vehicles. It has als...

"We investigate the nonlinear response of waveguides doped with dimers of noble-metal nanoparticles using a simple effective model. Our results show a markedly distinctive response depending on the dimer gap."

"We understand consciousness as the subjective experience the "How is it..." to perceive a scene, recognize a face, hear a sound, or reflect on the experience itself. It can be considered a dynamic process and it can be...

"We present here a general formalism for equipping simulated pedestrians with an avoidance mechanism. The central idea is to use a short-range target which is adjusted dynamically depending on the environment and thus m...

"Aversive memories are long-lasting and prone to have adverse effects on our emotional wellbeing and mental health. Yet, how to remedy the maladaptive effects of aversive memories remains elusive. Using memory reactivati...

"We analyze the impact of higher-order nonlinearity on ultrashort solitons by means of a photon-conserving propagation equation, and propose an original and direct method for its estimation."
