Data usage control enables data owners to enforce policies for their data, by defining authorizations, but also obligations, which are actions to be performed before, during or after being granted access such as accepting web cookies, and conditions bearing on the system and environment attributes, e.g., the time. Usage control is often coupled wit...
Coastal marine sediments can be either major scrubbers or eutrophication contributors to surface waters. Standard methods for direct measurement of nutrient fluxes at the sediment-water interface do not consider hydrodynamic forcing although several ex-situ studies suggest that sediment resuspension can dramatically increase dissolved fluxes. We pr...
This work experimentally investigated the solubility of Propylene and Dimethyl Ether (DME) in polyalkylene glycol (PAG) oil. The solubility experimental data were used to fit different local composition models from the literature, the Wilson and Heil equations, and the Non-Random Two-Liquid (NRTL) model. Two new empirical correlations were proposed...
Despite the wide adoption of suction cups in automated logistic processes, their usage for contact-rich manipulation tasks is limited. This limitation is due to unpredictable large deformations of the suction cup that can arise in contact rich tasks, making motion planning an unsolved problem. A scenario in which these type of motions occur is in b...

In this work, discrete element method (DEM) simulations were used to probe changes in electrode porosity, electrode strain, and the resultant pressure changes for composite electrodes comprised of active material and binder particles. Through the results acquired by these simulations, three cases that are representative of two limiting cases for el...

Quantitative dynamics of the key intermediates, gases and carbohydrates during anaerobic digestion of different lipid rich kitchen waste and lipid rich model kitchen waste were modeled. Six batch reactors loaded with 25 g VS l - 1 ( ∼ 39 g O 2 l - 1 ) kitchen waste and model kitchen waste during a batch experiment were considered in simulation. Obs...
BackgroundSialic acids are essential monosaccharides influencing several biological processes and disease states. The sialyltransferases catalyze the transfer of Sia residues to glycoconjugates playing critical roles in cellular recognition and signaling. Despite their importance, the molecular mechanisms underlying their substrate specificity, esp...
Iron (Fe) is one of the most essential micronutrient minerals for human health such that it forms part of enzymes synthesising amino acids, hormones, neurotransmitters and collagen. It is also utilised for production of respiratory pigments including haemoglobin and myoglobin. Fe-deficiency is one of the most prevalent global micronutrient deficien...
Presentamos el estudio general de un problema clásico de vaciado de depósitos cuya forma es un sólido de revolución y que tiene un agujero circular en su base por donde se desaloja el líquido. Para ello, obtenemos la ecuación diferencial que describe la altura del líquido contenido en el depósito en cada instante temporal, h(t), así como el tiempo ...
Recent years have seen the development of multiple in silico lung models, notably with the aim of improving patient care for pulmonary diseases. These models vary in complexity, and typically only consider the implementation of pleural pressure, a depression that keeps the lungs inflated. Gravity, often considered negligible compared to pleural pre...
