Touch Matters: The Impact of Physical Contact on Haptic Product Perception in Virtual Reality
(MDPI, 2023-02-02)
Nowadays, the presentation of products through virtual reality and other online media coexists with traditional means. However, while some products may be perceived correctly in digital media, others may need physical ...
Explicit Predictive Control with Non-Convex Polyhedral Constraints
(Elsevier, 2012-02)
This paper proposes an explicit solution to the model predictive control of linear systems subject to non-convex polyhedral constraints. These constraints are modeled as the union of a finite number of convex polyhedra. ...
Aplicación de la mecánica de la fractura post-cedencia a polímeros
(Universidad Simón Bolívar, 2010)
The Essential Work of Fracture (EWF) technique has been used for the ductile materials characterization, where
yielding phenomenon occurs before crack propagation. The EWF method characterizes the post-yielding ...
Power management strategies and energy storage needs to increase the operability of photovoltaic plants
(American Institute of Physics, 2012)
This paper analyzes the effect of introducing an energy storage (ES) system in an
intermittent renewable energy power plant such as a photovoltaic (PV) installation.
The aim of this integration is to achieve an improvement ...
Impedance spectroscopy analysis of thermoelectric modules under actual energy harvesting operating conditions and a small temperature difference
(Elsevier, 2024-06-15)
Thermoelectric (TE) devices can convert heat into electricity and have gained great interest as energy harvesters in many applications, such as self-powered sensors, solar TE generators and industrial waste heat recovery. ...
Estimation in multisensor networked systems with scarce measurements and time varying delays
(Elsevier, 2012-04)
In this paper, the problem of estimating signals from a dynamic system at regular periods from scarce, delayed and possibly time disordered measurements acquired through a network is addressed. A model based predictor that ...
Influence of calcium ion-modified implant surfaces in protein adsorption and implant integration
(Springer, 2021-04-21)
Calcium (Ca) is a well-known element in bone metabolism and blood coagulation. Here, we investigate the link between the protein adsorption pattern and the in vivo responses of surfaces modified with calcium ions (Ca-ion) ...
Fracture behavior of quenched poly(lactic acid)
(BME-PT, 2011)
The effect of a quenching treatment applied on heated cast sheet extruded films of two poly(lactic acid) (PLA)
commercial grades, with different optical purities, was studied. The thermal and mechanical properties of the ...
Discussion on Useless Active and Reactive Powers Contained in the IEEE Standard 1459
(IEEE, 2011)
This paper deals with the useless active powers and the reactive powers included in the unbalance power (SU1), and in the nonfundamental effective apparent power (SeN) defined in IEEE Standard 1459. Only the fundamental ...
Investigar para restaurar. La iglesia de las Escuelas Pías, Valencia (España)
(Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, 2022)
La iglesia de las Escuelas Pías destaca por las excepcionales
dimensiones de su cúpula, de 24,5 m de diámetro interior.
En el momento actual se enfrenta a problemas de
conservación, que obligan a determinar las causas ...
