Nanofluids are engineered colloids of nanoparticles dispersed homogenously within base fluids. The term nanofluids refers to a mixture composed of a continuous phase, usually a saturated liquid, and a dispersed phase ...

In microfluidics, fluid movement is keystone for the correct operation of different system stages, including convective mixing, electrochemical sensing, and affinity bonding in immunoassays. Even though the most commonly ...

La industria electrónica en México tiene un gran potencial. Se estima que para el año 2020 la producción de equipos eléctricos y electrónicos en el país alcanzará los $USD76,540 millones de dólares americanos (INEGI, 2012). ...

Exoskeletons raise as the common ground between Robotics and Biomechanics, where rehabilitation is the main field in which these two disciplines find cohesion. Furthermore, the everlasting debate between the use of human ...

As manufacturing companies stand on the brink of the fourth industrial revolution, Industrial Big Data (IBD) highlights the importance of the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in this domain. These technologies ...

Audio fingerprinting techniques were developed to index and retrieve audio samples by comparing a content-based compact signature of the audio instead of the entire audio sample, thereby reducing memory and computational ...

Allogeneic islet transplantation for diabetes management faces the challenge of preventing immune rejection while maintaining enough graft oxygenation for proper metabolic function. Islet encapsulation within membranes ...

Significant losses of energy and material worldwide are produced by friction, abrasive wear, and corrosion. To modify the superficial properties of materials, some thermochemical treatments have been explored. In specific, ...
