The aggregation of microplastic and biogenic particles in upper-ocean turbulence is studied by means of direct numerical simulations and Lagrangian tracking of point particles. The range of particle properties (size and ...

Lipschitzian aggregation operators with respect to the natural T - indistin- guishability operator Et and their powers, and with respect to the residuation ! T with respect to a t-norm T and its powers are studied. A ...

This article gives a new approach to aggregating assuming that there is an indistinguishability operator or similarity defined on the universe of discourse. The very simple idea is that when we want to aggregate two values ...

Over the last few years, the cost of energy from renewable resources, such as sunlight and wind, has declined resulting in an increasing use of Renewable Energy Sources (RES). As a result, the energy produced by RES is fed ...

In this work, we evaluate aggressive undervolting, i.e., voltage underscaling below the nominal level to reduce the energy consumption of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Usually, voltage guardbands are added by ...

Seismic events can produce damage and collapse of constructions, impacting the expected life-cycle cost and out-of-service time. Past seismic events showed that socioeconomic consequences at community scale are dramatic, ...

In recent years user-centered design, participatory design and agile development have seen much popularity in the field of software development. More specifically, applying these methods to user groups with cognitive and ...

The emerging high bandwidth and on-demand user applications require improvements in capacity, configurability and resiliency in next generation optical access networks to incrementally expand on the basis of customers ...

We present an exhaustive mathematical analysis of the recently proposed Non-Poissonian Activity Driven (NoPAD) model [Moinet et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 108701 (2015)], a temporal network model incorporating the empirically ...
