In this chapter, the authors discuss the current mass incarceration of Latinos/as in the United States. While Latinos/as have always been overrepresented in the criminal justice system, especially in relation to their population...
A Cloud-KPIs Dashboard to Evaluate Agile Development Teams' Performance
In agile software development, the performance of human development teams is pivotal for project success, yet assessing their performance can be challenging, given the flexibility of agile project management. This article...
Parenting and child mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic

COVID-19 and the subsequent public health response created many additional stresses for families. We examined parental behaviour during the COV-ID-19 pandemic in two European Countries and explored the association between...

Integration and Open Access System Based on Semantic Technologies
The aim of this work is the development of an information system that, by integrating data from different sources and applying semantic technologies, makes it possible to publish and share with society the scientific production...
Connectometry evaluation in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy
This research investigated local brain connectivity changes following Carotid Endarterectomy (CEA) by connectometry. Seventeen subjects (15 males and 2 females, mean age 74.1 years), all eligible for CEA, were prospectively...
Tuning crystal morphology of succinic acid using a polymer additive
The effect of the triblock copolymer Pluronic P123 (PP123) on the growth of succinic acid crystals from aqueous solutions is reported at two batch process scales: 10 and 350 mL. The presence of small quantities of PP123 is shown...
A high-throughput multi-microfluidic crystal generator (MMicroCryGen) platform for facile screening of polymorphism and crystal morphology for pharmaceutical compounds

In this work, a novel multi-microfluidic crystallization platform called MMicroCryGen is presented, offering a facile methodology for generating individual crystals for fast and easy screening of the polymorphism and crystal...

Direct numerical evaluation of multi-loop integrals without contour deformation
Abstract: We propose a method for computing numerically integrals defined via iϵ deformations acting on single-pole singularities. We achieve this without an explicit analytic contour deformation. Our solution is then used to...
Ion-triggered selectivity in bacterial sodium channels

Since the availability of the first crystal structure of a bacterial Na+ channel in 2011, understanding selectivity across this family of membrane proteins has been the subject of intense research efforts. Initially, free...
