CeO2 and Ce–Zr mixed oxides with different Ce:Zr ratios were prepared; characterised by Raman
spectroscopy, XRD, TEM, N2 adsorption at −196 ◦C, and H2-TPR; and tested for soot oxidation under
NOx/O2. Among the different mixed oxides, Ce0.76Zr0.24O2 provided the best…

We study stability properties of a proximal point algorithm for solving the inclusion 0 ∈ T (x) when T
is a set-valued mapping that is not necessarily monotone. More precisely we show that the convergence of
our algorithm is uniform,…

contienen algún tipo de publicidad, no obstante,
hay publicaciones en las que la publicidad
es tan abundante que el contenido científico

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of a soccer training session on the balance ability of the young soccer players. Participants were twenty-six young soccer players. Standard testing balance boards and Biodex Stability System were…

The precipitation of gypsum during the intrusion of seawater in a coastal aquifer is shown to be a possible cause of the decrease of the sulphate concentration with respect to the conservative freshwater / seawater mixing observed in many field…

This paper describes a novel approach for affine invariant region detection and description. At the detection stage, a hierarchical clustering mechanism is employed to group image pixels into regions. This process is based on the Bounded Irregular Pyramid (BIP) and…

The analytical approximate technique developed by Wu et al. for conservative oscillators with odd nonlinearity is used to construct approximate frequency-amplitude relations and periodic solutions to the relativistic oscillator. By combining Newton's method with the method of harmonic balance, analytical…

Background: Education is a basic prerequisite for d/Deaf people’s health. Deaf education varies considerably from country to country and we still know very little about the reasons for such variation. Objective: To identify international megatrends that influence the current Deaf…

Objective: Although the relationship between area socioeconomic environment and obesity is known, previous research has measured area socioeconomic environment at only one point in time. This study evaluates the relationship of cumulative area-based adverse socioeconomic environment with body mass index…

The objective of this paper is to get an insight into the chemical activation mechanism using KOH and NaOH as activated agents. Three
coals have been selected as carbon precursors. It was found that KOH and NaOH develop a similar…
