The influence of the interlayer coupling on formation of the quantized Hall conductor phase at the filling factor v = 2 was studied in the multi-layer GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures. The disorder broadened Gaussian ...

The sequencing problem of n independent tasks on m unrelated parallel machines aims to minimize the total completion time (makespan) of the tasks on the machines. Based on the four-phase heuristic, and initially structured ...

Over the last few years two new types of Ductile Iron (DI) have been developed based on Austempered DI (ADI), called Dual Phase ADI and Carbidic ADI (CADI), respectively. In the light of the experience acquired when studying ...

In this paper we deal with an alternative technique to study global dynamics in Hamiltonian systems, the mean exponential growth factor of nearby orbits (MEGNO), that proves to be efficient to investigate both regular and ...

Applying the Heat Tinting Technique the microestrutural characterization of a 300M steel (medium carbon steel) was accomplished. The steel was austenitized for 20 min to 900°C, followed by holding at 400°C (in the bainitic ...

Large scale multi-label learning, i.e. the problem of determining the associated set of labels for an instance, is gaining relevance in recent years due to the emergence of several real-world applications. Most notably, ...

The class of piezoelectric actuators considered in this paper consists of a multi-flexible structure actuated by two or more piezoceramic devices that must generate different output displacements and forces at different ...
