Research on analogical thinking has devised several ways of promoting an abstract encoding of base analogs, thus rendering them more retrievable during later encounters with similar situations lacking surface similarities. ...

The present study tackles two overlooked aspects of analogical retrieval: (1) whether argumentation activities elicit a spontaneous search for analogical sources, and (2) whether strategic search can relax the superficial ...

The well-known membrane-plate analogy that relates the natural frequencies when dealing with polygonal homogeneous domains is herein extended to non-homogeneous systems comprised of homogeneous subdomains. The analogy is ...

Static var Compensator (SVC) has a general topology and its operational principle allows its application with distinct compensation purposes, such as voltage regulation or load balancing. Thus, this paper presents the ...

This work evaluates the ability of OBT for detecting parametric faults in continuous-time filters. To this end, we adopt two filters with quite different topologies as cases of study and a previously reported statistical ...

This paper studies the proton radiation influence on SOI FinFET analog parameters based on the device inversion coefficient (IC). The analysis focuses on some figures of merit in analog design like the transistor efficiency, ...

Sugarcane (Saccharum sp.) is a relatively low-cost agricultural resource, produced mainly in tropical and subtropical regions of the planet. One of the most important applications of sugarcane juice is in the production ...
