Game Theory and Mechanism Design are by now standard tools for studying and designing massive decentralized systems. Unfortunately, designing mechanisms that induce socially efficient outcomes often requires full information ...

This work presents a theoretical analysis for predicting the overall effectiveness factor (η) for cylindrical geometries in a three-phase catalytic reaction system. Implicit expressions for η, taking into account all the ...

En el presente documento se describe el desarrollo de una plataforma de software SCADA con conexión a la red de Internet para el monitoreo de manera remota de equipos de producción en una empresa de la industria farmacéutica. ...

In the new context of globalization, large manufacturing companies are forced to improve their production processes, so they need to design and apply methodologies that align with this trend. However, these practices are ...

OBJECTIVE: to investigate the relationship between mechanical ventilation and mortality and the practice of mechanical ventilation applied in children admitted to a high-complexity pediatric intensive care unit in the city ...

The generation of concentration gradients is an essential operation for several analytical processes implemented on microfluidic paper-based analytical devices. The dynamic gradient formation is based on the transverse ...

Boats have historically been an important mean of transportation, both for passengers and cargo, mainly in water-rich countries. Today, the electrification of transportation includes fluvial navigation, but energy efficiency ...

This article presents a systematic and logical study of the topology optimized design, microfabrication, and static/dynamic performance characterization of an electro-thermo-mechanical microgripper. The microgripper is ...
