Performance of Distributed Optical Fiber Sensors (DOFS) and Digital Image Correlation (DIC) in the monitoring of RC structures
(Institute of Physics (IOP), 2019)
Conference lecture
Open AccessDistributed Optical Fiber Sensors (DOFS) are strain measuring tools whose potential had been discovered in the latest years only, in particular related to the civil engineering field. A unique utility lies in the possibility ... -
Temperature-controlled entangled-photon absorption spectroscopy
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2019-07-09)
Article
Open AccessEntangled two-photon absorption spectroscopy (TPA) has been widely recognized as a powerful tool for revealing relevant information about the structure of complex molecular systems. However, to date, the experimental ... -
Ice friction for moving the heavy stones at the ancient Pumapunku complex. A first technological approach to the age problem
(2019-06-25)
External research report
Open AccessIn this work, ice-lubrication for moving the lithic material at the Tiwanaku complex and particulary at the ancient Pumapunku site is discussed. Ice friction (sliding stones on a sheet of ice) is identified as the most ... -
Thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of polyester dyeing with Disperse Blue 56 using bio-based auxiliaries and co-solvent microemulsion
(2019-02)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe aim of the study was to dye polyester fabric with a low molecular weight anthraquinone type disperse dye (C.I. Disperse Blue 56), with n-butylacetate as co-solvent in the microemulsion system and the presence of two ... -
A review of gerotor technology in hydraulic machines
(2019-06-24)
Article
Open AccessOver the years, numerous investigations have established the gerotor fundamentals. This work aims to provide a complete review of the literature from the last decade, focusing on the articles published in the past five ... -
Mining the hydrogen peroxide of Mars for monopropellant rocket fuel
(2019-10-10)
External research report
Open AccessAlready since the 1970s, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has been suggested as a possible oxidizer of the Martian surface, but until only three decades latter it was finally detected. So far, the interest aroused by planetary ... -
Integrated monitoring approach for seamless service provisioning in federated clouds
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2012)
Conference report
Open AccessCloud Computing offers simple and cost effective outsourcing in dynamic service environments, and allows the construction of service-based applications using virtualization. By aggregating the capabilities of various IaaS ... -
Collaborative resolution of requirements mismatches when adopting open source components
(Springer, 2012)
Conference report
Open Access[Context and motivation] There is considerable flexibility in requirements specifications (both functional and non-functional), as well as in the features of available OSS components. This allows a collaborative matching ... -
Automatic detection of at-most-one and exactly-one relations for improved SAT encodings of pseudo-boolean constraints
(Springer, 2019)
Conference report
Open AccessPseudo-Boolean (PB) constraints often have a critical role in constraint satisfaction and optimisation problems. Encoding PB constraints to SAT has proven to be an efficient approach in many applications, however care must ... -
The SUrvey for Pulsars and Extragalactic Radio Bursts – II. New FRB discoveries and their follow-up
(Oxford University Press, 2018-04)
Article
Open AccessWe report the discovery of four Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) in the ongoing SUrvey for Pulsars and Extragalactic Radio Bursts at the Parkes Radio Telescope: FRBs 150610, 151206, 151230 and 160102. Our real-time discoveries ... -
Applying a foundational ontology to analyze means-end links in the i* framework
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2012)
Conference report
Open AccessThe i* community has raised several main dialects and dozens of variations in the definition of the i* language. Differences may be found related not just to the representation of new concepts but to the very core of the ... -
EKF-based parameter identification of multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehiclesmodels
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2019-09-26)
Article
Open AccessThis work presents a method for estimating the model parameters of multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles by means of an extended Kalman filter. Different from test-bed based identification methods, the proposed approach ...
