A Battery Management System with EIS Monitoring of Life Expectancy for Lead–Acid Batteries
(MDPI, 2021-05-21)
Abstract
This work presents a battery management system for lead–acid batteries that integrates a battery-block (12 V) sensor that allows the online monitoring of a cell’s temperature, voltage, and impedance spectra. The ...
Experimental implementation of a catalytic membrane reactor for the direct synthesis of DME from H2+CO/CO2
(Elsevier, 2021-01-05)
The direct synthesis of dimethyl ether (DME) by the hydrogenation of CO2 and CO2/COx mixtures has been studied in an original packed bed membrane reactor (PBMR). The role of the hydrophilic LTA zeolite membrane is to remove ...
Do calmodulin binding IQ motifs have built-in capping domains?
(Wiley, 2021-08-15)
Most calmodulin (CaM) targets are alpha-helices. It is not clear if CaM induces the adoption of an alpha-helix configuration to its targets or if those targets are selected as they spontaneously adopt an alpha-helical ...
Educational attainment of same-sex and opposite-sex dizygotic twins: An individual-level pooled study of 19 twin cohorts
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
Comparing twins from same- and opposite-sex pairs can provide information on potential sex differences in a
variety of outcomes, including socioeconomic-related outcomes such as educational attainment. It has been
suggested ...
MLb-LDLr: A Machine Learning Model for Predicting the Pathogenicity of LDLr Missense Variants
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
Untreated familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) leads to atherosclerosis and early cardiovascular disease. Mutations in the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLr) gene constitute the major cause of FH, and the high number ...
Optical fiber interferometer for temperature-independent refractive index measuring over a broad range
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
The present work relates to manufacturing of a simple interferometric optical fiber refractometer that features broad refractive index measuring range without ambiguity. The device consists of a cylindrical polymer cavity ...
Temperature dependence of the rate coefficient of formation of CN radical from C + NH
(Elsevier, 2021-05)
Rate coefficients of the complex-forming C + NHH + CN reaction have been calculated at temperatures ranging from 5 K to 800 K using quasi-classical trajectories on a potential energy surface which accurately describes the ...
A feasibility study of the installation of a modular bioreactor inside a chemical scrubber at a wastewater treatment plant
(Elsevier, 2021-03)
Chemical scrubbing and biofiltration are well-established technologies for treating contaminated pollutants generated at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Nevertheless, the growing need to reduce the ecological footprint ...
3D printed alginate-cellulose nanofibers based patches for local curcumin administration
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
Alginate and nanocellulose are potential biomaterials to be employed as bioinks for three-dimensional (3D) printing. Alginate-cellulose nanofibers (A-CNF) formulations with CNF amounts up to 5 wt% were developed and ...
Fast and efficient address search in System-on-a-Programmable-Chip using binary trees
(Elsevier, 2021-12)
One processing task in Ethernet nodes is to manage Media Access Control (MAC) addresses: search, insert new, and delete old ones. For this purpose, Content-Addressable Memorys (CAMs) offer low latency and no collisions; ...
