Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels from the Cys-loop family mediate fast chemo-electrical transduction, but the mechanisms of ion permeation and gating of these membrane proteins remain elusive. Here we present the X-ray structure at 2.9 A resolution of ...
In this thesis, steric effects in the dissociative chemisorption of quantum state-prepared methane on single crystal surfaces of nickel (Ni(100) and Ni(110)) are detected and quantified for the first time. Exploiting a new, continuous-wave, high-power, sin ...
Using the Submillimeter Array we have detected the J = 3-2 and 2-1 rotational transitions from within the first vibrationally excited state of CO toward the extreme carbon star IRC+10216 (CW Leo). The emission remains spatially unresolved with an angular r ...
The objective of this project is the construction of a multimodal interchange located in the underground of the Plaza Cataluña of Barcelona between the different railway lines, respecting the operation of the current Integrated Tariff System. The project p ...
Newly available, powerful infrared laser sources enable the preparation of intense molecular beams of quantum-state prepared and aligned molecules for gas/surface reaction dynamics experiments. We present a stereodynamics study of the chemisorption of vibr ...
Abstract: The ring-on-ring bending principle allows the fabrication of simple, low-cost thick-film piezoresistive sensors for compressive forces in the 10 to 400 N range. However some imperfections are encountered in its basic embodiment, such as relativel ...
This paper deals with whole-body motion planning and dynamic control for humanoid from two aspects: locomotion including manipulation and reaching. In the first part, we address a problem of simultaneous locomotion and manipulation planning that combines a ...
A method is described to extract a complete set of sequence-dependent material parameters for rigid base and basepair models of DNA in solution from atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. The method is properly consistent with equilibrium statistical me ...
The full-body control of virtual characters is a promising technique for application fields such as Virtual Prototyping. However it is important to assess to what extent the user full-body behavior is modified when immersed in a virtual environment. In the ...
Computational models are a current way to study specific behavior of healthy or pathological tissue or the mechanics of joints. Simulating the native anatomical structures and kinematics are two of the most important tasks to achieve reliable results. It i ...
