In this paper a rotation free shell element with embedded stiffeners is presented. The element is based on a previous one where the membrane and bending strains are obtained using a patch of four triangular elements centered ...

The Boros–Moll map appears as a subsystem of a Landen transformation associated to certain rational integrals and its dynamics is related to their convergence. In the paper, we study the dynamics of a one-parameter family ...

This paper describes a pedagogic computer named \M aquina Rudimentaria". This computer has been de- signed to be used in a rst course on logic design or com- puter architecture; orthogonality and simplicity have been the ...

This letter presents a rule-based solution search (RBSS) algorithm for self-optimization in a cellular network. It improves the solution search process of classical optimization methodologies by including a set of rules ...

In this paper we propose a runtime-based selective task replication technique for task-parallel high performance computing applications. Our selective task replication technique is automatic and does not require ...

Security is an integral part of ensuring the integrity of safety-critical systems. Safety-critical systems with extremely long-lifespan, such as the ones employed in the space and automotive industry, need additional ...

Laboratory experiments were conducted on a sand-gravel Gilbert delta to gain insight on its dynamics under varying base level. Base level rise results in intensified aggradation over the topset, as well as a decrease in ...

The study of the colonic volume is a procedure with strong relevance to gastroenterologists. Depending on the clinical protocols, the volume analysis has to be performed on MRI of the unprepared colon without contrast ...

Current trends in space systems are towards the design of autonomous spacecraft that are capable to generate their own plans of action based on system constraints, on-board data analysis and mission goals set by ground ...
