Manipulation of Fluid Flow Direction in Microfluidic Paper-Based Analytical Devices with an Ionogel Negative Passive Pump
(Elsevier, 2017-03-06)
Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (microPADs) are a relatively new group of analytical tools thatrepresent an innovative low-cost platform technology for fluid handling and analysis. Nonetheless, microPADs lack ...
Reusable Ionogel-based Photo-actuators in a Lab-on-a-disc
(Elsevier, 2017-11-04)
This paper describes the design, fabrication and performance of a reusable ionogel-based photo-actuator, in-situ photopolymerised into a lab-on-a-disc microfluidic device, for flow control. The ionogel provides an effective ...
Evaluation of the Sportsmanship-Aggression Continuum in Youth Football
(Universitat de les Illes Balears, 2019)
[ENG] Given the importance of sport in modern society, it is essential that appropriate instruments are available for the assessment of both fair play and unfair play in the sport of football, particularly in the context ...
Dynamic Model of a Compliant 3PRS Parallel Mechanism for Micromilling
(Springer, 2016-09-10)
The objective of this work is to develop a manipulator of 5 degrees of freedom for micromilling. It consists of a XY stage under a 3PRS compliant parallel mechanism, obtaining the advantages of the compliant joints as are ...
Photoswitchable Layer-by-layer Coatings Based on Photochromic Polynorbornenes Bearing Spiropyran Side Groups
(American Chemical Society, 2018-04-10)
Micro-capillaries, capable of light-regulated binding and qualitative detection of divalent metal ions in continuous flow, have been realised through functionalisation with spiropyran photochromic brush-type coatings. Upon ...
Tetrel Bonds with π-Electrons Acting as Lewis Bases—Theoretical Results and Experimental Evidences
(MDPI, 2018-05-15)
MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ calculations were carried out for the ZFH(3)-B complexes (Z = C, Si, Ge, Sn and Pb; B = C2H2, C2H4, C6H6 and C5H5-; relativistic effects were taken into account for Ge, Sn and Pb elements). These calculations ...
What if gravity becomes really repulsive in the future?
(Springer, 2018-03-24)
The current acceleration of the Universe is one of themost puzzling issues in theoretical physics nowadays. We are far from giving an answer in this letter to the question of its nature. Yet, with the observations we have ...
Quantum entanglement in de Sitter space with a wall and the decoherence of bubble universes
(American Physical Society, 2018-04-30)
We study the effect of a bubble wall on the entanglement entropy of a free massive scalar field between two causally disconnected open charts in de Sitter space. We assume there is a delta-functional wall between the open ...
Embodied Coordination and Psychotherapeutic Outcome: Beyond Direct Mappings
(Frontiers Media, 2018-06-23)
Enhancing Confusion Entropy (CEN) for Binary and Multiclass Classification
(Universita Di Palermo, 2019-01-14)
Different performance measures are used to assess the behaviour, and to carry out the comparison, of classifiers in Machine Learning. Many measures have been defined on the literature, and among them, a measure inspired ...
