This study demonstrates the influence of the solvent when thermospray flame furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (TS-FF-AAS) is employed for the determination of elements of low volatility, taking magnesium (Mg) as leading ...

In wireless mesh networks, it is important to establish the transmission capacity of the links, taking into account the presence of noise that interferes with the transmission and consequently degrades the signal sent from ...

Glycoproteins play important roles in biological systems such as in process related to cell binding, signaling and disease. Consequently, novel, potentially quantitative, and rapid electroanalytical approaches capable of ...

Docetaxel (DTX) is an antineoplastic agent of the second generation of the taxoid family. It is a semi-synthetic drug prepared from a precursor extracted of the plant Taxus baccata. The commercial formulation of DTX, ...

Context. Astrometry relies on the precise measurement of positions and motions of celestial objects. Driven by the ever-increasing accuracy of astrometric measurements, it is important to critically assess the maximum ...

The formulation and solution of the inverse problem of damage identification based on an one-dimensional wave propagation approach are presented in this paper. Time history responses, obtained from pulse-echo synthetic ...

Empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is an adaptive (data-driven) method to decompose non-linear and non-stationary signals into AM-FM components. Despite its well-known usefulness, one of the major EMD drawbacks is its lack ...

The damage detection process in structures has been an important challenge for the engineering community. The design of structural health monitoring (SHM) systems usually involves selection of actuators and sensors, their ...

Piperine (PIP) is a natural alkaloid isolated from Piper longum L. that presents antioxidant, anticonvulsant, antimicrobial, neuroprotective, larvicidal, antiparasitic, anticancer effect and other pharmacological properties. ...

The standard methods of performing discrete convolution, that is, directly in the time domain or by means of the fast Fourier transform in the frequency domain, implicitly assume that the signals to be convolved are zero ...
