A Robust Maximum Power Point Tracking Control Method for a PEM Fuel Cell Power System
(MDPI, 2018-12-01)
Taking into account the limited capability of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) to produce energy, it is mandatory to provide solutions, in which an efficient power produced by PEMFCs can be attained. The maximum ...
Multi-Step Magnetization Process of Gd-Co/Co/Cu/Co Thermo-Sensitive Spin Valves
(MDPI, 2018-11-25)
Magnetic and magnetoresistive properties of the Gd-Co/Co/Cu/Co magnetic type multilayered sensitive spin valve were studied as a function of temperature. It is shown that the appearance of a non-collinear magnetic structure ...
Transformation Volume Effects on Shape Memory Alloys
(MDPI, 2013-07-02)
It is generally accepted that the martensitic transformations (MTs) in the shape memory alloys (SMAs) are mainly characterized by the shear deformation of the crystal lattice that arises in the course of MT, while a ...
Endogenous Fishing Mortalities: a State-Space Bioeconomic Model
(Oxford University Press, 2017-05-13)
A methodology that endogenously determines catchability functions that link fi shing mortality with
contemporaneous stock abundance is presented. We consider a stochastic age-structured model for
a fishery composed by ...
Fine-Tuning of Sirtuin 1 Expression Is Essential to Protect the Liver From Cholestatic Liver Disease
(Wiley, 2019-02)
Cholestasis comprises aetiologically heterogeneous conditions characterized by accumulation of bile acids in the liver that actively contribute to liver damage. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) regulates liver regeneration and bile acid ...
Diet and prey selection by snow leopards in the Nepalese Himalayas
(Public Library Science, 2018-12-05)
Visual attractiveness and rarity often results in large carnivores being adopted as flagship species for stimulating conservation awareness. Their hunting behaviour and prey selection can affect the population dynamics of ...
Dbx1-Derived Pyramidal Neurons Are Generated Locally in the Developing Murine Neocortex
(Frontiers Media, 2018-10-31)
The neocortex (NCx) generates at the dorsal region of the pallium in the forebrain. Several adjacent structures also contribute with neurons to NCx. Ventral pallium (VP) is considered to generate several populations of ...
Single Chiral Skyrmions in Ultrathin Magnetic Films
(MDPI, 2018-11-11)
The stability and sizes of chiral skyrmions in ultrathin magnetic films are calculated accounting for the isotropic exchange, Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya exchange interaction (DMI), and out-of-plane magnetic anisotropy within ...
State of the Art and Trends Review of Smart Metering in Electricity Grids
(MDPI, 2016-03)
Climate change, awareness of energy efficiency, new trends in electricity markets, the obsolescence of the actual electricity model, and the gradual conversion of consumers to prosumer profiles are the main agents of ...
Mechanical, Electrical and Magnetic Properties of Ferrogels with Embedded Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Obtained by Laser Target Evaporation: Focus on Multifunctional Biosensor Applications
(MDPI, 2018-03)
Hydrogels are biomimetic materials widely used in the area of biomedical engineering and biosensing. Ferrogels (FG) are magnetic composites capable of functioning as magnetic field sensitive transformers and field assisted ...
