Due to the progressive lowering of the age of peak performance among swimmers, it became important to better understand the factors influencing performance in prepuberal boys and girls. Aim of this study is to compare two different racial/ethnic groups of…

The exponential increase of subjective, user-generated content since the birth of the Social Web, has led to the necessity of developing automatic text processing systems able to extract, process and present relevant knowledge. In this paper, we tackle the Opinion…

A spectroelectrochemical study of the adsorption and oxidation of serine and alanine on Pt(111) electrodes has been carried out in 0.1 M HClO4 solutions. From the voltammetric and FTIR spectroscopic results, we concluded that adsorbed cyanide is formed at the…

The second-order harmonic balance method is used to construct three approximate frequency-amplitude relations for a conservative nonlinear singular oscillator in which the restoring force is inversely proportional to the dependent variable. Two procedures are used to solve the nonlinear differential…

Nowadays, the material disassembly is an important issue for the industry. This paper presents an algorithm to sequence the task to be performed in the disassembly of a specific material from a product or to separate all the materials of…

This paper explores additivity-like properties ful…led by bankruptcy rules. Our
main result is that the unique rule satisfying an adittivity-like property is the Minimal Overlap proposed by O'Neill. We also propose some conections relative to
additivity properties in close frameworks…

Although radix 10 based arithmetic has been gaining renewed importance over the last few years, decimal systems are not efficient enough and techniques are still under development. In this paper, an improvement of the CORDIC (coordinate rotation digital computer) method…

Despite increased numbers of female researchers, women still face more difficulties than their male counterparts when it comes to publishing their work and having it read and cited. In this editorial, the main recommendations are detailed in order to promote…

Activated carbon/polyaniline composites have been prepared using different electrochemical methods: single-step potentiostatic polymerization, multiple-step potentiostatic polymerization, and potentiodynamic polymerization with the anodic potential limits being fixed at either 0.75 or 1 V (vs Ag/AgCl). The prepared composite samples were characterized…
