"The failures that bugs in software lead to can sometimes be bypassed by the so called workarounds: when a (faulty) routine fails, alternative routines that the system offers can be used in place of the failing one, to ...

"Various approaches to software analysis (e.g. test input generation, software model checking) require engineers to (manually) identify a subset of a module’s methods in order to drive the analysis. Given a module to b...

"Successful utilization of Additive Manufacturing (AM) in the space sector implicates two aspects: First, an understanding of the process inherent characteristics has to be developed, where the anisotropic behavior of ma...

"Several works have addressed the issue of obtaining a six degree of freedom (6DOF) capable multirotor. However, the capability of keeping full control in the case of a total failure in one of the rotors has not yet been...

"There is recent evidence that the core of the Internet, which was formerly dominated by large transit providers, has been reshaped after the transition to a multimedia-oriented network, first by general-purpose CDNs and...

"Retinoblastoma is the most common intraocular tumor in childhood. Topotecan has been widely used as an antineoplastic agent for retinoblastoma treatment. Topotecan penetration into living tumorspheres is quantified usin...

"We present a technique to distinguish valid from invalid data structure objects. The technique is based on building an artificial neural network, more precisely a binary classifier, and training it to identify valid and...

"One of the main challenges in automatic glycemic regulation in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is to dispense with carbohydrate counting. In this context, we propose to equip a previously introduced switched Linear ...

"Within the Cluster Space robot formation control scheme, a new approach is presented where a cascaded control scheme is proposed. On one hand, a simple secondary (inner) loop is used to control the formation’s velocit...

"There is an increasing interest in replacing a unique, complex, and expensive vehicle equipped with several sensors with a group of small vehicles, each of them carrying fewer sensors. There are several advantages in th...

"Compare cued memory reactivation during Slow Wave Sleep (SWS) and sleep Stage 2 (S2)."

"The presence of heavy metal ions in water poses a major environmental health risk to local residents.Industrial waste water often contains heavy metal ions, e.g., chromium, lead and nickel. If the waste water is not pro...

"This paper presents the design of Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protections for a remote Electroencephalograph (ECG). Design and layout guidelines are analyzed to improve the ESD robustness of a Grounded-Gate NMOS (GGNM...

"There is abundant literature on positioning systems based on WiFi signals. Most of the systems with off-the-shelf hardware use RSSI measurements. In this paper, we try to determine the highest achievable accuracy of su...

"This paper presents the design and experimental results of a digital acquisition system based on a chopper-stabilized Instrumentation Amplifier with Common-Mode feedback for CMRR enhancement. Chopping techniques are us...

"This work presents a multi-unmanned aerial vehicle formation implementing a trajectory following controller based on the cluster-space robot coordination method. The controller is augmented with a feed-forward input fr...

"The aim of this work is to develop the phenomenological based modeling of a self-pressurized alkaline electrolyser with the objective of predicting the cross-contamination of the gases produced. A proposed model, built ...

Polymer rheological behavior in an Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) project is one of the critical factors to determine whether the polymer injection would be effective to increase the oil production in a field. Due to compli...

"In this work a study of a 27-level asymmetric multilevel current source inverter is developed. The presented structure is composed by three current source inverters that together are in a 9:3:1 ratio to produce a curren...

"Relation algebras are algebras arising from the study of binary relations. They form a part of the eld of algebraic logic, and have applications in proof theory, modal logic, and computer science. An interesting problem...

"Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging is based on airborne or satellite active microwave sensors that can capture the earth surface by emitting a signal and receiving the backscattered signal that forms the resulting ...

"In this work, a new nonlocal means filter for single-look speckled data using the Shannon and Renyi entropies is proposed. The measure of similarity between a central window and patches of the image is based on a statis...

"Retinoblastoma is a common intraocular tumor of childhood. One of the medications used as an antineoplastic agent for retinoblastoma treatment is topotecan. Its penetration into living tumorspheres is quantified using c...

"Lately, a novel multirotor aerial vehicle capable of handling single rotor failures was presented. When a rotor fails, physically reconfiguring one of the remaining rotors of an hexarotor allows to compensate for mane...
