On the variability of seasonal temperature in southern South America
(Springer, 2012-11)
The aim of this paper is to investigate different aspects of the seasonal-to-interannual temperature variability in Eastern Patagonia, the southernmost area of South America, east of the Andes Cordillera. Homogenous regions ...
Anomalous thermodynamic properties in ferropericlase throughout its spin crossover transition
(AMER PHYSICAL SOC, 2009)
The thermodynamics properties of ferropericlase (Mg(1-x)Fe(x)O where x=0.1875) (Fp) throughout its spin crossover were investigated by first principles. Fp was treated as an ideal solid solution of pure high-spin and ...
A multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling reformulation for the waterway ship scheduling problem.
In this paper, we address the waterway ship scheduling problem (WSSP), which finds applications in the management of ship arrivals and departures at maritime ports near channels and waterways. It incorporates practically ...
Sliding Mode Control for Active Suspension System with Data Acquisition Delay
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014-01-01)
This paper addresses the problem of control of an active suspension system accomplished using a computer. Delay in the states due to the acquisition and transmission of data from sensors to the controller is taken into ...
Flexibility study on a dual mode natural gas plant in operation
(Taylor, 2002-08)
This work addresses a flexibility study on a natural gas processing plant through the integration of a process simulator to a "worst case" flexibility strategy. The plant has a gas subcooled turboexpansion design, which ...
Specific growth rate estimation in (fed-)batch bioreactors using second-order sliding observers
(Elsevier, 2011-08)
This paper addresses the estimation of specific growth rate of microorganisms in bioreactors using sliding observers. In particular, a second-order sliding observer based on biomass concentration measurement is proposed. ...
A general technique to embed non-uniform discontinuities into standard solid finite elements
(2006-04-01)
A general technique to embed non-uniform displacement discontinuities into standard solid finite elements is presented. The technique is based on the decomposition of the kinematic fields into a component related to the ...
