Multiple Sensor Monitoring of CFRP Drilling to Define Cutting Parameters Sensitivity on Surface Roughness, Cylindricity and Diameter
(MDPI, 2020-06-21)
Machining parameters affects the final quality of components made in carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite materials. In this framework, the work here presented aims at studying the right combination of cutting ...
Decreased Striatal Adenosine A(2A)-Dopamine D(2)Receptor Heteromerization in Schizophrenia
(Springer Nature, 2020-10-03)
According to the adenosine hypothesis of schizophrenia, the classically associated hyperdopaminergic state may be secondary to a loss of function of the adenosinergic system. Such a hypoadenosinergic state might either be ...
Parameter-Free Hybridlike Functional Based on an Extended Hubbard Model: DFT Plus U Plus V
(American Physical Society, 2020-10-13)
In this paper, we propose an energy functional at the level of DFT U + V that allows us to compute self-consistently the values of the onsite interaction, Hubbard U and Hund J, as well as the intersite interaction V. This ...
Stable Two-Dimensional Soliton Complexes in Bose-Einstein Condensates with Helicoidal Spin-Orbit Coupling
(IOP Publishing, 2020-10-08)
We show that attractive two-dimensional (2D) spinor Bose-Einstein condensates with helicoidal spatially periodic spin-orbit coupling (SOC) support a rich variety of stable fundamental solitons and bound soliton complexes. ...
Metabolic Alterations in Plasma from Patients with Familial and Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease
(Impact Journals LLC, 2020-09-15)
The research of new biomarkers for Parkinson's disease is essential for accurate and precocious diagnosis, as well as for the discovery of new potential disease mechanisms and drug targets. The main objective of this work ...
On an SEIR Epidemic Model with Vaccination of Newborns and Periodic Impulsive Vaccination with Eventual On-Line Adapted Vaccination Strategies to the Varying Levels of the Susceptible Subpopulation
(MDPI, 2020-11-23)
This paper investigates a susceptible-exposed-infectious-recovered (SEIR) epidemic model with demography under two vaccination effort strategies. Firstly, the model is investigated under vaccination of newborns, which is ...
Competition between nucleation and confinement in the crystallization of poly(ethylene glycol)/ large aspect ratio hectorite nanocomposites
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020-06-25)
The overall crystallization kinetics of polymer nanocomposites is determined by nucleation and crystal growth, which are both greatly affected by confinement. Heterogeneous nucleation is influenced by the interphase area ...
e-Distance in Menger PGM Spaces with an Application
(MDPI, 2020-12-30)
The main purpose of the present paper is to define the concept of an e-distance (as a generalization of r-distance) on a Menger PGM space and to introduce some of its properties. Moreover, some coupled fixed point results, ...
Calcium-binding proteins are altered in the cerebellum in schizophrenia
(Public Library Science, 2020-07-08)
Alterations in the cortico-cerebellar-thalamic-cortical circuit might underlie the diversity of symptoms in schizophrenia. However, molecular changes in cerebellar neuronal circuits, part of this network, have not yet been ...
Patterns of Official Development Assistance in Tajikistan: effects on growth and poverty reduction
(Instituto Brasileiro de Relações Internacionais, 2020)
The aim of this paper is to assess the effect of official development assistance on economic growth and poverty reduction in Tajikistan, as well as to examine the recent role of South-South Cooperation. We used a panel ...
