(2020)
INTRODUCTION The Tobacco Control Scale (TCS) was designed for advocacy purposes but has also been used as a research tool. In the present study, we characterized TCS use, its limitations and strengths, and critically ...
Neural networks to improve mathematical model adaptation in the flat steel cold rolling process
(2010-12-01)
In the flat steel cold rolling process, real-time controllers get their reference values (setpoints) using a mathematical model. Such a model is carried out at the process optimization level of the plant automation ...
No impact of helminth coinfection in patients with smear positive tuberculosis on immunoglobulin levels using a novel method measuring Mycobacterium tuberculosis-specific antibodies.
(Springer, 2023)
Helminth/tuberculosis (TB)-coinfection can reduce cell-mediated immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and increase disease severity, although the effects are highly helminth species dependent. Mtb have long ...
NEX-LMS: A novel adaptive control scheme for harmonic sound quality control
(ACADEMIC PRESS LTD- ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2010)
This paper presents a novel adaptive control scheme. with improved convergence rate, for the equalization of harmonic disturbances such as engine noise. First, modifications for improving convergence speed of the standard ...
Designing naturally-conditioned dwellings for warm and cold-temperate regions of Chile
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)
The central problem addressed by this paper is the fuel poverty experienced in Chile as a result of poor thermal performance of dwellings, a problem commonly encountered throughout the country, even in new housing. The ...

Tolerance of an invasive plant in a copper saturated environment: Local adaptation as an evolutionary response?
(2015)
Human disturbance associated with mining activity can lead to accumulation of certain metals in
the environment, and these metals can limit plant growth and survival. Faced with these new
environmental conditions, the ...
