Desalination of seawater has become an important and growing
industry due to the water shortage in some Mediterranean countries. This
activity may result in environmental impacts, mainly generated by the
discharge into the sea of the concentrate (brine) produced. Data…

The research presented in this paper approaches the issue of indoor localization using the fuzzy logic framework for modeling and dealing with the uncertainty of the position measurements. Fuzzy logic presents properties that make it suitable tool to represent and…

NFAT (nuclear factors of activated T cells) proteins constitute a family of transcription factors involved in mediating signal transduction. The presence of NFAT isoforms has been described in all cell types of the immune system, with the exception of neutrophils.…

¡Quien no aguanta no vale! Dice un viejo principio rarámuri, grupo étnico ubicado en
la Sierra Tarahumara, dentro de la Sierra Madre Occidental del Estado Chihuahua en
México. Inmerso en un entorno ambiental ecológicamente duro para la supervivencia,

Despite the inclusion of beach volleyball as an Olympic discipline with a fully professional world tour, little research has been published that has examined the physical qualities of internationally competitive athletes. Thirty international-standard beach volleyball athletes (14 male, 16 female)…

Optical densities before bleaching and final Lin curves of planewave phase holograms recorded in Agfa—Gevaert 8E75HD emulsions were measured for various combinations of developers (AAC, Pyrogallol and Catechol) and bleaching agents (R-9 and EDTA). To characterize the processing, the square…

Bleached holograms are one of the most interesting techniques used to produce phase holograms of high quality on photographic emulsions. Of particular interest is the method of fixation-free rehalogenating bleaching. In this paper we will study the influence of the…

Fixation-free rehalogenating bleaching is an interesting for the production of phase holograms. The shrinkage of the emulsion is reduced in comparison with other bleaching methods (reversal bleaching or rehalogenating bleaching with fixation). In this paper we present experimental results for…

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…

We describe here a specific calcineurin activity in neutrophil lysates, which is dependent on Ca2+, inhibited by trifluoroperazine, and insensitive to okadaic acid. Immunoblotting experiments using a specific antiserum recognized both the A and B chains of calcineurin. Neutrophils treated…
