Mixed methods study protocol to explore acculturation, lifestyles and health of immigrants from the Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries in two Iberian contexts: how to face uncertainties amidst the COVID-19 pandemic
(BMJ, 2021)
Introduction Studies which focus on the process of acculturation in the lifestyles, nutritional status and health of immigrants from the Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries (CPLP) in the Iberian Peninsula are still ...
The ferroelectric photo ground state of SrTiO3: Cavity materials engineering
(National Academy of Sciences, 2021-08-03)
Optical cavities confine light on a small region in space, which can result in a strong coupling of light with materials inside the cavity. This gives rise to new states where quantum fluctuations of light and matter can ...
Residual alignment and its effect on weld strength in material-extrusion 3D-printing of polylactic acid
(Elsevier B.V, 2020-06-30)
Gaining a molecular understanding of material extrusion (MatEx) 3D printing is crucial to predicting and
controlling part properties. Here we report the direct observation of distinct birefringence localised to the ...
Significance of Simple Steatosis: An Update on the Clinical and Molecular Evidence
(MDPI, 2020-11-11)
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is defined clinicopathologically by the accumulation of lipids in >5% of hepatocytes and the exclusion of secondary causes of fat accumulation. NAFLD encompasses a wide spectrum ...
Grid Frequency and Amplitude Control Using DFIG Wind Turbines in a Smart Grid
(MDPI, 2021-01-11)
Wind-generated energy is a fast-growing source of renewable energy use across the world. A dual-feed induction machine (DFIM) employed in wind generators provides active and reactive, dynamic and static energy support. In ...
On Confinement and Quarantine Concerns on an SEIAR Epidemic Model with Simulated Parameterizations for the COVID-19 Pandemic
(MDPI, 2020-10-07)
This paper firstly studies an SIR (susceptible-infectious-recovered) epidemic model without demography and with no disease mortality under both total and under partial quarantine of the susceptible subpopulation or of both ...
Interplay of Topological States on TI/TCI Interfaces
(MDPI, 2020-10-10)
Based on first-principles calculations, we study electronic structure of interfaces between a Z2 topological insulator (TI) SnBi2Te4 and a topological crystalline insulator (TCI) SnTe. We consider two interface models ...
A Dissolution Model of Alite Coupling Surface Topography and Ions Transport under Different Hydrodynamics Conditions at Microscale
(Elsevier, 2021-04)
Portland cement is the most produced material in the world. The hydration process of cement consists of a group of complex chemical reactions. In order to investigate the mechanism of cement hydration, it is vital to study ...
