We formulate a new conceptual model, named “MT2”, to describe global ocean heat uptake, as simulated by atmosphere–ocean general circulation models (AOGCMs) forced by increasing atmospheric CO , as a function of global-mean ...

This paper deals with the blocking flow shop problem and proposes new constructive procedures for the total tardiness minimization of jobs. The heuristic has three-phases to build the sequence; the first phase selects the ...

A new continuous-discontinuous strategy to describe failure of quasi-brittle materials is presented. For the early stages of the failure process, a gradient-enhanced model based on smoothed displacements is employed. As ...

This paper aims at presenting a new countermeasure against Side-Channel Analysis (SCA) attacks, whose implementation is based on a hardware-software co-design. The hardware architecture consists of a microprocessor, which ...

A new non-local damage model is presented. Non-locality (of integral or gradient type) is incorporated into the model by means of non-local displacements. This contrasts with existing damage models, where a non-local strain ...

Recent improvements in computation and algorithmic research, together with the rising era of Big Data, have allowed Artificial Intelligence increase its popularity within masses. The recent publication of the Deep Q-Network ...

In this paper we study distributions on k-ary trees, which from the point of doing statistics on trees, they behave in a more realistic way than the usual uniform distribution. In particular, we choose a distribution for ...
