Temperature based maximum power point tracking for photovoltaic modules
(Nature, 2020-07-27)
In this article authors propose a temperature based Maximum Power Point Tracking algorithm (MPPT). Authors show that there is an optimal current vs maximum power curve that depends on photovoltaic (PV) module temperature. ...
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 ...
Hybrid Modeling of Deformable Linear Objects for Their Cooperative Transportation by Teams of Quadrotors
(MDPI, 2022-05-23)
his paper deals with the control of a team of unmanned air vehicles (UAVs), specifically quadrotors, for which their mission is the transportation of a deformable linear object (DLO), i.e., a cable, hose or similar object ...
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 ...
Exploring ionic liquid-laden metal-organic framework composite materials as hybrid electrolytes in metal (ion) batteries
(Frontiers Media, 2022-09)
This review focuses on the combination of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and ionic liquids (ILs) to obtain composite materials to be used as solid electrolytes in metal-ion battery applications. Benefiting from the ...
DGP and DGP-like cosmologies from f(Q) actions
(American Physical Society, 2022-04-29)
In this work we explore and test new formulations of cosmological scenarios in
f(Q) theories. In these settings, the nonmetricity scalar (Q) is the main source of gravity and Friedmann equations are modified to account ...
Nanoclay-reinforced HA/alginate scaffolds as cell carriers and SDF-1 delivery-platforms for bone tissue engineering
(Elsevier, 2022-07-25)
Bone tissue engineering has come on the scene to overcome the difficulties of the current treatment strategies. By combining biomaterials, active agents and growth factors, cells and nanomaterials, tissue engineering makes ...
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 ...
