Pisco, an Appellation of Origin from Peru: A review by Juan Carlos Palma, Johana Fabián-Campos, Jacqueline Jannet Dioses-Morales, Amelia Devorah Arias-Durand, Gaby Espinoza-Córdova, Miki Gonzales-Uscamayta, Joel C. Rengifo-Maravi, Epifanio Teófilo Chire-Murillo, Víctor A. Caro Sánchez-Benites, Paola Jorge-Montalvo, Lizardo Visitación-Figueroa

“…Pisco is classified as pure (monovarietal), acholado (blend of varieties), and green must (distilled from must with interrupted fermentation). It is distilled to proof; that the alcoholic strength upon consumption ranges between 38% and 48 % (v/v). …”

A frictionless contact problem for viscoelastic materials by Mikäel Barboteu, Weimin Han, Mircea Sofonea

“…We consider a mathematical model which describes the contact between a deformable body and an obstacle, the so-called foundation. The body is assumed to have a viscoelastic behavior that we model with the Kelvin-Voigt constitutive law. …”

Coordinated human-exoskeleton locomotion emerges from regulating virtual energy. by Rezvan Nasiri, Hannah Dinovitzer, Nirosh Manohara, Arash Arami

“…Contribution: (1) In this paper, we experimented VER on a group of nine healthy individuals at different speeds (0.6m/s - 0.85m/s) to study the resultant gait coordination and naturalness on a large group of users. (2) The resultant assisted gait is compared to the natural and passive (zero-torque exoskeleton) walking conditions in terms of muscle activities, kinematic, spatiotemporal and kinetic measures, and questionnaires. (3) Moreover, we presented the VER's convergence proof considering the user contribution to the gait and introduced a metric to measure the user's contribution to gait. (4) We also compared VER performance with the phase-based path controller in terms of muscle effort reduction and joint kinematics using three able-bodied individuals. …”

An Ontology for Digital Medicine Outcomes: Development of the Digital Medicine Outcomes Value Set (DOVeS) by Benjamin Rosner, Matthew Horridge, Guillen Austria, Tiffany Lee, Andrew Auerbach

“…After development, DOVeS was field-tested between December 2022 and May 2023 with 40 additional independent vendors previously unfamiliar with ADviCE or DOVeS. As a proof of concept, we subsequently developed a prototype DHT Application Finder leveraging DOVeS to enable a user to query for DHT products based on specific outcomes of interest. …”

Analysis of electroelastic frictionless contact problems with adhesion by Mircea Sofonea, Rachid Arhab, Raafat Tarraf

“…We consider two quasistatic frictionless contact problems for piezoelectric bodies. For the first problem the contact is modelled with Signorini's conditions and for the second one is modelled with normal compliance. …”
