Robust labeling of human motion markers in the presence of occlusions
(Elsevier, 2019-08-11)
Human motion capture by optical sensors produces snapshots of the motion of a cloud of points that need to be labeled in order to carry out ensuing motion analysis for medical or other purposes. We generate the labeling ...
Power Control Optimization of an Underwater Piezoelectric Energy Harvester
(MDPI, 2018-03)
Over the past few years, it has been established that vibration energy harvesters with intentionally designed components can be used for frequency bandwidth enhancement under excitation for sufficiently high vibration ...
Analysis of New Strategies to Reach Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (nZEBs)
(MDPI, 2018-11-07)
The need to reduce CO2 emissions makes it necessary to review most areas of human activity because we are the main source of these emissions. In particular, the building sector is one of its main responsible. Through a ...
5 MW Wind Turbine Annual Energy Production Improvement by Flow Control Devices
(MDPI, 2018-11-06)
Several flow control devices have been studied in recent years. Majority of them were designed firstly for aeronautical purposes. At present many research is aimed to introduce these devices in wind turbines (WTs) in order ...
Gurney Flap Implementation on a DU91W250 Airfoil
(MDPI, 2018-11-06)
Abstract
The increasing capability of Wind Turbine (WT) based power generation systems has derived in an increment of the WT rotor diameter, i.e., longer rotor blades. This results in an increase of the electrical power ...
Strategies for the intensification of CO2 valorization in the one-step dimethyl ether synthesis process
(ACS, 2019-12-16)
The intensification of CO2 valorization has been theoretically studied in the direct synthesis of dimethyl ether (DME) carried out in a packed-bed reactor by means of two strategies pursuing the attenuation of the thermodynamic ...
HLA-DRB1*15:01 and multiple sclerosis: a female association?
(Sage, 2011-11-29)
Background: The association between multiple sclerosis (MS) and the HLA-DRB1*15: 01 haplotype has been proven to be strong, but its molecular basis remains unclear. Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene variants and sex have been ...
