It is a commonplace in certain areas of art theory and contemporary art practices to consider Marcel Duchamp’s ready-mades as ordinary objects, which have an artistic value that depends more on a theoretical or institutional ...

Ancestral Andean crop flours (ACF) from Ecuador such as camote (Ipomea Batatas), oca (Oxalis tuberosa), achira (Canna indica), mashua (Tropaeolum tuberosum), white arracacha (Arracacia xanthorrhiza), taro (Colocasia ...

The sleepers are key structural components for the proper performance of the permanent way, they provide fixed rails and ballast to dissipate stress applied on track. The most common material used to manufacture the sleepers ...

This paper proposes a finite control set model predictive torque control (PTC) of induction machine with an adaptive observer. Model reference adaptive system (MRAS) can accurately estimate the rotor speed. However, the ...

This work presents a comprehensive study of the uncertainties involved in the FrequencyResponse Function (FRF) of Piezoelectric Energy Harvesters (PEHs) based on experimentalresults. A proper experimental setup is designed ...

Renewable energy systems (RESs) have introduced themselves as vital solutions for energy supply in remote regions, wherein main utility supply systems are not available. The construction of microgrid (MG) systems is useful ...

Conflict is the basis of all social ties. The aggressive drives, proper to humanity according to Freud, tend to dissolve these bonds. Therefore, no society can escape from violence. The function of culture is to promote ...

The proper operation of a microgrid requires storage devices that increase the inertia and avoid instability of the system. This paper presents the control of an energy storage system (ESS) based on supercapacitors in the ...

In the formal verification of stochastic systems, statistical model checking usessimulation to overcome the state space explosion problem of probabilistic modelchecking. Yet its runtime explodes when faced with rare events, ...
