This paper presents a new method to isolate all configurations that a multiloop linkage can adopt. The problem is tackled by means of formulation and resolution techniques that fit particularly well together. The adopted ...

Proper prediction of ship maneuvering – together with powering and seakeeping – is considered essential these days to help naval architects design optimal ship hulls. In this context, traditional finite-volume Computational ...

In high temperature shape memory alloys, the inelastic deformation mechanism is a combination of the transformation strain, viscoplastic strain in austenitic and martensitic phases, and transformation-induced plasticity. ...

In this thesis, it is presented a Linux kernel extension that allows a user-space application to be notified of the blocking and unblocking of its threads, making it possible for a core to execute another thread while the ...

The aim of this master's thesis is to obtain an alternative and original proof of a Liouville type result for fractional Schrödinger operators in 1D without using a local extension problem, in the spirit of the recent work ...

In this report we present a list of problems that originated in bionformatics. Our aim is to collect information on such problems that have been analyzed from the point of view of Parameterized Complexity. For every problem ...

Nowadays, any company wants to gain a clear competitive advantage in the market. In order to reach this goal it can be important to participate in networks, especially in the case of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). ...

Thermal performance is a major part of the building envelope and is getting more attention globally. Nowadays, parametric design methods are used in building envelope design, such as facade design, for optimization of ...

CFD optimizations are characterized by long and highly variable objective function evaluation times. The aim of this study is to improve the parallel performance using a new load balancing master-worker parallelization ...
