The geographical scale has been broadly discussed in an attempt to formulate a concept that succeeds in explaining different space-related realities. In the various sectors of health planning, geographic categories and ...

We investigate the dynamics of a system composed of a particle suffering impacts between two heavy periodically vibrating walls. An original, nonlinear area preserving mapping is obtained. The control parameters of amplitude ...

Real-order generalization of dissipativeness and passivity concepts are presented in this paper. They are characterized as properties of a system; that is, they are independent of the system's internal representation and ...

This paper presents a dimensional-analysis supported scaling procedure applied to a mathematical model of electrochemical batteries. The main objective of this research is to allow for laboratory size-scaled and time-compressed ...

The present investigation is developed in the refrigeration industry, whose activity is the production and commercialization of the ice used mainly in the fishing industry. The development consists in evaluating and comparing ...

This paper presents a scaling methodology based on dimensional analysis and applicable to systems’ mathematical models. The main goal of this research is to propose time-accelerated and size-scaled HIL (Hardware In the ...

Oceanic and atmospheric global numerical models represent explicitly the large‐scale dynamics while the smaller‐scale processes are not resolved, so that their effects in the large‐scale dynamics are included through ...
