A micro sized interdigital capacitor sensible to CO2 and NO is studied in this work. The photolithography technique enables to obtain fingers with dimensions of 10 × 500 µm and separated 7 µm between them. The deposition ...

Smart materials, also known as programmable materials, are a combination of different components that have the capability to change shape, move around and adapt to numerous situations by applying an external controllable ...

SO2 is the most widely used preservative in the wine industry. However, there are several drawbacks related with the use of SO2 in wine, such as, its toxicity and the unpleasant odor in case of excess [1]. These reasons ...

In this work we propose a novel scalable Bayesian modeling approach to smooth mortality risks borrowing information from neighbouring regions in high-dimensional spatial disease mapping contexts. The method is based on the ...

In recent years, the gradual saturation of parallelization in space has been a strongmotivation for the design and analysis of new parallel-in-time algorithms. Amongthese methods, the parareal algorithm, first introduced ...

Hybrid organic-inorganic siliceous materials (ORMOSiLs) are a key focus within the nanoscience area as they combine advantages of inorganic materials without losing characteristics intrinsic of organic molecules. In the ...

The Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem states that there is no function fusing individual preferences into a social one satisfying certain properties of 'common sense'. On the contrary, in some of the fuzzy extensions of the ...

Hybrid silica xerogels (HSXG) combine the properties of organic and inorganic components in the same material, which makes them promising and versatile candidates for multiple applications. These materials can be easily ...
