The last decades have been characterized by a fast evolution of cars. This work shows the evolution of vehicle weight. It shows the response of car manufacturers using new materials and production methods that allow lighter ...

[EN] Circadian clocks are endogenous timekeeping mechanisms that allow organisms to anticipate rhythmic, daily environmental changes. Temporal coordination of transcription results in a set of gene expression patterns with ...

Background: The potential role of RNA molecules as gene expression regulators has led to a new perspective on the intracellular control and genome organization. Because secondary structures are crucial for their regulatory ...

[EN] The reinforced concrete structures constitute a classic typology. They are composed of different materials that work together to as a whole to support the loads which they are submitted, and present a satisfactory ...

[EN] The assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are increasingly used. However, in the last years, several studies have demonstrated the harmful effects associated with ART. There are more and more epigenetic studies ...

[ES] Se aborda el estudio del pandeo de placas y paneles rectangulares, presentes en las estructuras semimoncasco típicas de construcciones aeronáuticas. En primer lugar, se analiza el inicio de pandeo por compresión de ...

[EN] The objective of this paper is to illustrate the possibilities offered by working with the texture or relief of white concrete through the case study of the building designed for the Town Hall of Pizarra, in Malaga. ...

A microwave sensor system for the noninvasive monitoring of the curing process of a thermoset material placed inside a metallic mold is described. The microwave sensor is designed as an open-ended coaxial resonator with a ...

[EN] A consistent thermodynamic-based theoretical framework and three-dimensional finite element formulation is pre- sented, capable of coupling elastic, thermal and electric fields. The complete set of governing equations ...

[EN] In this paper we show that mapping tensors may be constructed to transform any arbitrary strain measure in any other strain measure. We present the mapping tensors for many usual strain measures in the Seth-Hill family ...
