This is the activity report for the PAN-EARTH Project Case Study Venezuela from October 1988 to March 1990.

Report on an international workshop on climate variability and climate change in Venezuela and the Caribbean region.

This presentation discusses the code division multiple access (CDMA) inter-cell effects, capacity regions, maximizing network capacity, mobility, a call admission control algorithm, and network performance.

This presentation discusses WiFi access point selection and traffic balancing, multi-cell wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) with multiple classes, user modeling using 2D Gaussian distribution, and intra-cell and inter-cell interference and capacity.

This paper discusses indoor propagation modeling.

Article describes how, due to the enormous amounts of data being generated between users, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are complex Cyber-Physical Systems that necessitate a reliable and safe infrastructure. In this work, the authors explore Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and collect data about consensus algorithms and their applicability to be used in the IoV as the backbone of ITS.

This article presents the design, modeling, and experimental characterization of flexible square-shaped spiral coils with different scaling factors for WPT systems. The effects of coil scaling factor on inductance, capacitance, resistance, and the quality factor (Q-factor) are modeled, simulated, and experimentally validated for the case of flexible planar coils. This article also presents the effect of skin contact with the flexible coil in terms of the power transfer efficiency (PTE) to validate the suitability as a wearable sensor.

This paper discusses performance enhancement by eliminating redundant function execution.

Article on the ion-exchange and associated interfacial reaction mechanisms of silicate glasses. This work reports findings that shed light on the complex ion-exchange mechanisms during glass hydration and enables more detailed understanding of the corrosion and glass-water interactions of silicate glasses which has the potential to impact both science and technology.

Article describes how conventional macromechanical tests provide limited insights into complex hierarchical deformation behavior of a transformative high entropy alloy (HEA). In this work, a high throughput microstructure-micromechanical correlative study is presented by combining high-resolution nanoindentation, site-specific microscopy, and Gaussian mixture model (GMM) clustering.

This article provides a brief description of the adopted methodology for estimating anthropogenic emission estimation of ocean going vessels and barges.

This article explores the viability of 3D printed intervertebral lumbar cages based on biocompatible polycarbonate (PC-ISO® material).

This article aims to summarize part of the available literature that reports studies on biomechanical environment in healthy and diseased arteries using various analytical methods.

Article reporting the high-temperature superlubricity phenomenon accomplished in coatings produced by burnishing powders of antimony trioxide (Sb₂O₃) and magnesium silicate hydroxide coated with carbon (MSH/C) onto the nickel superalloy substrate.

This review compares the advantages and disadvantages of decellularization methods in terms of their ability to retain desired extracellular matrix characteristics for particular tissues and organs.

Article discussing research on architecture support for 3D obfuscation.

This article provides a review of the Bayesian-inference-based methods applied to Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) studies with a focus on the detection of the viral mutations and various problems which are correlated to these mutations. The authors also provide a summary of the Bayesian methods' applications toward these viruses' studies, where several important and useful results have been discovered.

Article proposes a novel Bayesian method, named BAM, for simultaneously partitioning Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) into Linkage Disequilibrium(LD)-blocks and detecting genome-wide multi-locus epistatic interactions that are associated with multiple diseases. Experimental results on the simulated datasets demonstrate that BAM is powerful and efficient.

This article focuses on Al0.7CoCrFeNi, a lamellar dual-phase (fcc + B2) precipitation-strengthenable eutectic high entropy alloy. The back-stresses from the coherent L12 precipitate were insufficient to cause improvement in twin nucleation, owing to elevated twinning stress under quasi-static testing. However, under dynamic testing high density of twins were observed.

Article discusses experimental results which reveal that the apparent activation-energy for grain-growth in an fcc-based AlxCoCrFeNi high entropy alloy (HEA) system increases from 179 to 486 kJ/mol when the Al content increases from x = 0.1 to 0.3.

The article reports on the shear deformation of a eutectic structured HEA and effect of precipitation on shear deformation, particularly Al₀.₇CoCrFeNi high-entropy alloy (HEA). A split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) was used to compress the hat-shaped specimens to study the local dynamic shear response of the alloy. The change in the width of shear bands with respect to precipitation and deformation rates was studied. The precipitation of L1₂ phase did not delay the formation of adiabatic shear bands (ASB) or affect the ASB width significantly, however, the deformed region around ASB, consisting of high density of twins in fcc phase, was reduced from 80 µm to 20 µm in the stronger precipitation strengthened condition.

Article models work hardening response in TRIP HEAs under tensile deformation, which reflects the hardening due to synergistic activity of multiple deformation mechanisms, using a five-parameter work hardening model.
