Abstract: A spring in parallel with an effort source (e.g., electric motor or human muscle) can reduce its energy consumption and effort (i.e., torque or force) depending on the spring stiffness, ...

Introduction Dietary (poly)phenols have beneficial properties that may play a relevant role in the management of overweight/obesity and cardiometabolic risk factors, modulating physiological and ...

Abstract: Parallel execution and conditional execution are increasingly prevalent in modern embedded systems. In real-time scheduling, a fundamental problem is how to upper-bound the response times of ...

Scientists are learning how to program bacteria like tiny biological machines. By editing DNA and building genetic circuits, researchers can give microbes new instructions and behaviors. These ...
