Effects of globalization, foreign direct investment and economic growth on renewable electricity consumption
(Elsevier, 2023-03)
Renewable energy has been seen as a viable solution to the problems of environmental degradation and the energy crisis. This study examines the long – and short–run linkages between economic globalization, foreign direct ...
Experimental and Numerical Modeling of Aerosol Delivery for Preterm Infants
(MDPI, 2018-03)
Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) represents one of the major causes of mortality among preterm infants, and the best approach to treat it is an open research issue. The use of perfluorocarbons (PFC) along with non-invasive ...
Five MegawattWind Turbine Power Output Improvements by Passive Flow Control Devices
(MDPI, 2017-06)
The effects of two types of flow control devices, vortex generators (VGs) and Gurney flaps (GFs), on the power output performance of a multi-megawatt horizontal axis wind turbine is presented. To that end, an improved blade ...
Computational study of the vortex path variation with the VG height
(IOP Publishing, 2014)
An extensive range of conventional, vane-type, passive vortex generators (VGs) are in use for successful applications of flow separation control. In most cases, the VG height is designed with the same thickness as the local ...
Semisupervised Speech Data Extraction from Basque Parliament Sessions and Validation on Fully Bilingual Basque–Spanish ASR
(MDPI, 2023-07-23)
In this paper, a semisupervised speech data extraction method is presented and applied to create a new dataset designed for the development of fully bilingual Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems for Basque and ...
Anomalous magnetic behavior in half-metallic Heusler Co2FeSi alloy glass-coated microwires with high Curie temperature
(Elsevier, 2022-11)
In the current study, we have succeeded to fabricate Co2FeSi Heusler alloy glass-covered microwires with magnetic core nucleus diameter d = 4.36 mu m and total diameter D = 17.55 mu m, with high Curie temperature (T-e > ...
Assessment of Different Niosome Formulations for Optogenetic Applications: Morphological and Electrophysiological Effects
(MDPI, 2023-07-01)
Gene therapy and optogenetics are becoming promising tools for treating several nervous system pathologies. Currently, most of these approaches use viral vectors to transport the genetic material inside the cells, but ...
Age, Origin and Functional Study of the Prevalent LDLR Mutation Causing Familial Hypercholesterolaemia in Gran Canaria
(MDPI, 2023-07-11)
The p.(Tyr400_Phe402del) mutation in the LDL receptor (LDLR) gene is the most frequent cause of familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) in Gran Canaria. The aim of this study was to determine the age and origin of this prevalent ...
Aerodynamic Performance of Vertical-Axis Wind Turbines
(MDPI, 2023-07-05)
The nonstationary separated incompressible flows around Darrieus and Savonius rotors of vertical-axis wind turbines were investigated through computational simulation using the Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes equations and ...
Data Mining of Polymer Phase Transitions upon Temperature Changes by Small and Wide-Angle X-ray Scattering Combined with Raman Spectroscopy
(MDPI, 2021-11-30)
The complex physical transformations of polymers upon external thermodynamic changes are related to the molecular length of the polymer and its associated multifaceted energetic balance. The understanding of subtle transitions ...
