Towards complex system design and management in the engineering domain – the smart grid challenge
(Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, 2013-06-30)
Our world is facing a significant challenge from climate change and global warming, coupled with an increased awareness about the importance of preserving the environment. This challenge calls for us to use our resources ...
Mathematical development of an average method for estimating the reduction of the Heat Loss Coefficient of an energetically retrofitted occupied office building
(Elsevier, 2019-03-07)
The performance gap between the design energy consumption of buildings and their real energy consumption has three main sources: the energy systems’ performance, the users’ behaviour and the buildings’ envelope performance. ...
Introducing mobile edge computing capabilities through distributed 5G Cloud Enabled Small Cells
(2016)
Current trends in broadband mobile networks are addressed towards the placement of different capabilities at the edge of the mobile network in a centralised way. On one hand, the split of the eNB between baseband processing ...
Strengthening masonry vaults with organic and inorganic composites: An experimental approach
(Elsevier, 2015-11-15)
Polymer-reinforced fibers are now commonly applied to buildings for structural retrofitting purposes. These materials add greater tensile strength to structures, at the expense of a slight increase in weight. However, they ...
Word n-gram attention models for sentence similarity and inference
(Elsevier, 2019-04-22)
Semantic Textual Similarity and Natural Language Inference are two popular natural language understanding tasks used to benchmark sentence representation models where two sentences are paired. In such tasks sentences are ...
An adaptive sliding mode control law for the power maximization of the wind turbine system
(IEEE, 2011)
The actual wind turbines are provided with adjustable speed generators, like the double feed induction generator, that are capable to work in variable speed operations. One of the main advantage of adjustable speed generators ...
Basque nominalizations and the role of structural Case in the licensing of null arguments
(John Benjamins, 2012)
[EN] This article investigates the question of the licensing of null arguments in the so-called pro-drop languages. By focusing on the licensing of null subjects in the different types of -T(Z)E nominalizations in Basque, ...
A Strategy for the Management, Preservation, and Reutilization of Geographical Information Based on the Lifecycle of Geospatial Data: An Assessment and a Proposal Based on Experiences from Spain and Europe
(Taylor & Francis, 2015-12-22)
[EN] In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the fact that the proper management of information has to include concern for its preservation and future re-use. This ambition is particularly significant for ...
Tuning the Affinity of Catechols and Salicylic Acids towards Al(III): Characterization of Al-Chelator Interactions
(2018-06-11)
Due to aluminum's controversial role in neurotoxicity, the goal of chelation therapy, the removal of the toxic metal ion or attenuation of its toxicity by transforming it into less toxic compounds, has attracted considerable ...
Embodied Pain In Fibromyalgia: Disturbed Somatorepresentations And Increased Plasticity Of The Body Schema
(Public Library Science, 2018-04-06)
Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a highly prevalent, chronic musculoskeletal condition characterized by widespread pain and evoked pain at tender points. This study evaluated various aspects of body awareness in a sample of ...
