A three-dimensional boundary element method (BEM) implementation of the interaction integral methodology for the numerical analysis of mixed-mode three-dimensional thermoelastic crack problems is presented in this paper. ...

This work explores the effectiveness of the Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) of the speech signal, in estimating its Glottal Closure Instants (GCIs). The IMFs of the speech signal, which are its AM–FM or oscillatory components, ...

This article introduces the joint usage of Quantized State System (QSS) methods and classic numerical integration algorithms in the simulation of continuous time systems described by systems of Ordinary Differential Equations ...

A stated preference (SP) experiment for interurban trips by coach or train was designed and programmed on portable computers with the aid of specialized software. Trip characteristics and socio-economic information about ...

The present study aims to characterize the effects of a sequential mixed mode survey design and different levels of respondent incentives on the individual full response outcome in a longitudinal survey context in the ...
