“A scale separation between the space-time’s and the internal dimensions’s degrees of freedom can be obtained by adjusting the parameters of the string geometry. We describe this scale hierarchy and the cosmological evolution of the scalar fields for type IIB string theory on the geometry of the mirror quintic.”

“Our efforts to improve a model of the HIV-1 virus structure led us to the development of software to validate hypothetical versions of the HIV-1 matrix shell. In this manuscript we reconstruct a full model of the HIV-1 envelop protein and predict its interaction with a previously published matrix shell structure. The evidence generated suggests a role of the HIV-1 matrix shell in viral entry.”

“Perovskite hybrid semiconductor materials have an enormous potential for growth across the field with promising applications such as thin-film solar cells. Although device stability is the bottleneck of perovskite solar cell technology, recent advances show a promising way to implement future improvements.”

“This work introduces a new neural network architecture that uses bidirectional associations-based pooling to extract high-level features and labels from multi-label data. Unlike the pooling approaches reported in the literature, our proposal does not require input data to have any topological properties as typically occurs with images and videos. The numerical results show that our bidirectional pooling helps reduce the number of problem features and labels while preserving the discriminatory power of the network.”

“We proposed definitions and theorems regarding Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs), which allow estimating bounds for the activation value of each neuron and analyzing the covering and proximity of feasible activation spaces. The main theoretical findings suggest that the state space of any FCM model equipped with transfer F-functions shrinks infinitely with no guarantee for the FCM to converge to a fixed point but to its limit state space. This result, in conjunction with the covering and proximity values of FCM-based models, helps to understand their poor performance when solving complex simulation problems.”

“We have proposed a hybrid Fuzzy Cognitive Map-based model that incorporates static expert knowledge and information automatically inferred from the data. The paper introduces a fast and deterministic algorithm to construct such a model and a post-optimization procedure to fine-tune the resulting architecture. Simulations showed the superiority of our proposal in problems devoted to modeling complex systems.”

“The structure of the HIV matrix shell has not been fully elucidated. In this article, I highlight contributions that led to a model composed of adjacent hexagons forming a sphere and mentioned studies that were subsequently impacted. A cross-disciplinary group of students in my lab tested this hypothesis and conclusively demonstrated that this model was incorrect. I provide a summary of our results with emphasis placed on contributions made by students.”
