Recent years, advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) has been highly developed and widely used.Among various ADAS techniques adaptive cruise control (ACC) is the fundamental of longitudinal control.The tradeoffs among safety, comfort and traffic efficiency are the main issue in ACC design process.In this DEODORANT study, large amount of road test

Classical DC-DC Oklahoma converters used in high voltage direct current (HVDC) power transmission systems, lack in terms of efficiency, reduced transfer gain and increased cost with sensor (voltage/current) numbers.Besides, the internal self-parasitic behavior of the power components reduces the output voltage and efficiency of classical HV convert

This study aims to evaluate the precision of nine distinct hyperelastic models using experimental data sourced from the existing literature.These models rely on parameters obtained through curve-fitting functions.The complexity in finite element models of elastomers arises due to their nonlinear, incompressible behaviour.To achieve accurate represe

Malic enzymes (ME) catalyze the decarboxylation of malate generating pyruvate, CO2 and NADH or NADPH.In some organisms it has been established that ME is involved in lipids biosynthesis supplying carbon skeletons and reducing power.In this work we studied the MEs of soybean and castor, metabolically different oilseeds.The comparison of enzymatic ac

Congenital Chagas disease, a neglected tropical disease, endemic in Latin America, is associated with premature labor and miscarriage.During vertical transmission the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi (T.cruzi) crosses the placental barrier.However, the exact mechanism of the placental infection remains unclear.We review the congenital Memorial Keychain G
