Content-aware image smoothing based on fuzzy clustering
Literature contains a large variety of content-aware smoothing methods. As opposed to classical smoothing methods, content-aware ones intend to regularize the image while avoiding the loss of relevant visual information. ... -
Ammonia gas optical sensor based on lossy mode resonances
This letter presents the fabrication and characterization of an ammonia (NH 3) gas optical sensor based on lossy mode resonances (LMRs). A chromium (III) oxide (Cr 2 O 3) thin film deposited onto a planar waveguide was ... -
Onset of irreversible reactions in overcharging lithium-ion cells: an experimental and modeling approach
Lithium-ion batteries are energy storage systems used in an increasing number of applications. Due to their flammable materials, their use entails risks of fire and explosion. The study of the abuse operation of these ... -
Temperature indicators and overtemperature detection in lithium-ion batteries based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy
Lithium-ion batteries are the leading technology for energy storage systems due to their attractive advantages. However, the safety of lithium-ion batteries is a major concern, as their operating conditions are limited in ... -
Planar-waveguide-lmr-based sensors: engineering the depth of characteristic curves
Lossy mode resonance (LMR)-based sensors have been proven as one of the exponentially growing research fields since the last decade. These sensors have demonstrated their capabilities in the detection of several physical, ... -
Effects of climate change on streamflow and nitrate pollution in an agricultural mediterranean watershed in northern Spain
Predicting water quality and quantity response to climate change in a watershed is very difficult due to the complexity and uncertainties in estimating and understanding future hydrological conditions. However, hydrological ... -
Graphene oxide: key to efficient charge extraction and suppression of polaronic transport in hybrids with poly (3-hexylthiophene) nanoparticles
Nanoparticles (NPs) of conjugated polymers in intimate contact with sheets of graphene oxide (GO) constitute a promising class of water-dispersible nanohybrid materials of increased interest for the design of sustainable ... -
Leading edge: intratumor delivery of monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of solid tumors
Immunotherapies based on immune checkpoint blockade have shown remarkable clinical outcomes and durable responses in patients with many tumor types. Nevertheless, these therapies lack efficacy in most cancer patients, even ... -
Differences in specific abdominal fat depots between metabolically healthy and unhealthy children with overweight/obesity: the role of cardiorespiratory fitness
Objectives: Fat depots localization has a critical role in the metabolic health status of adults. Nevertheless, whether that is also the case in children remains under- studied. Therefore, the aims of this study were: (i) ... -
Suppressed-scattering spectral windows for radiative cooling applications
The scattering of light by resonant nanoparticles is a key process for enhancing the solar reflectance in daylight radiative cooling. Here, we investigate the impact of material dispersion on the scattering performance of ... -
Consumers' willingness to pay for health claims during the COVID-19 pandemic: a moderated mediation analysis
The COVID-19 pandemic has posed a substantial threat to people's lives and raised health concerns. This research explores the mediating role of consumers' attitudes towards health claims in the relationship between consumers' ... -
Mrna vaccines against sars-cov-2: advantages and caveats
The application of BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 infection has constituted a determinant resource to control the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the beginning of 2021, millions of doses have been administered ... -
Gas sensor based on lossy mode resonances by means of thin graphene oxide films fabricated onto planar coverslips
The use of planar waveguides has recently shown great success in the field of optical sensors based on the Lossy Mode Resonance (LMR) phenomenon. The properties of Graphene Oxide (GO) have been widely exploited in various ... -
Analysis of the suitability of the EOLO wind-predictor model for the spanish electricity markets
