In this article, we report on a systematic review of the literature on pressure-pain thresholds induced and assessed by computerized cuff pressure algometry (CPA). The motivation for this review is to provide design guidance ...

The trend in next-generation switched-mode power supplies will lead to modular, scalable solutions which can deliver power efficiently over a wide range of operation. Multiple parallel power stages, often called phases ...

Service-based architectures have now become commonplace, creating the need to address their systematic maintenance and evolution. We propose to enable transformation-driven evolution for service architectures in ...

In multiplex networks, cycles cannot be characterized only by their length, as edges may occur in different layers in different combinations. We define a classification of cycles by the number of edges in each layer and ...

Gasification of Cynara cardunculus L. was performed in a bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) using air as gasifying agent and, magnesite and olivine as different bed materials. Temperature was varied during the experiments (700-800 ...

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remain a major cause of death and morbidity globally and diet plays a crucial role in the disease prevention and pathology. The negative perception of dairy fats stems from the effort to ...

The goal of this project was to accurately predict the ultimate failure strengths of fibre reinforced polymer matrix composite open hole tension specimens using the Ladevèze continuum mechanics damage model, currently ...

Parallelizing serial software systems in order to run in a High Performance Computing (HPC) environment presents many challenges to developers. In particular, the extant literature suggests the task of decomposing ...

This data article contains data related to the research article entitled “Substrate topography: A valuable in vitro tool, but a clinical red herring for in vivo tenogenesis” [1]. We report measurements on tenocyte viability, ...

The use of Interpreter and Visitor design patterns has been widely adopted to implement programming language interpreters due to their expressive and simple design. However, no general approach to conceive a debugger is ...
