Review of Systems Engineering (SE) Methods and Their Application to Wave Energy Technology Development
(MDPI, 2020-10-20)
The design of effective and economically viable wave energy devices involves complex decision-making about the product based on conceptual design information, including stakeholder requirements, functions, components and ...
A Hybrid FCC/HZSM-5 Catalyst for the Catalytic Cracking of a VGO/Bio-Oil Blend in FCC Conditions
(MDPI, 2020)
The performance of a commercial FCC catalyst (designated as CY) and a physically mixed hybrid catalyst (80 wt.% CY and 20 wt.% HZSM-5-based catalyst, designated as CH) have been compared in the catalytic cracking of a ...
A Review on Strain Gradient Plasticity Approaches in Simulation of Manufacturing Processes
(MDPI, 2020-09-03)
Predicting the performances of a manufactured part is extremely important, especially for industries in which there is almost no room for uncertainties, such as aeronautical or automotive. Simulations performed by means ...
A Multi-Site NFV Testbed for Experimentation With SUAV-Based 5G Vertical Services
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2020-06-26)
[EN] With the advent of 5G technologies, vertical markets have been placed at the forefront,
as fundamental drivers and adopters of technical developments and new business models. Small Unmanned
Aerial Vehicles (SUAVs) ...
A dynamic assessment of instrument interaction and timing alternatives in the EU low-carbon policy mix design
(ENERGY POLICY, 2018)
The European Union low-carbon strategy includes a range of complementary policies. Potential interactions between instruments and different timing of their implementation can influence the cost and likelihood of achieving ...
Species richness influences the spatial distribution of trees in European forests
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2020)
The functioning of plant communities is strongly influenced by the number of species in the community and their spatial arrangement. This is because plants interact with their nearest neighbors and this interaction is ...
An explanation for the isotopic offset between soil and stem water in a temperate tree species
(New Phytologist Trust, 2020)
A growing number of field studies report isotopic offsets between stem water and its potential sources that prevent the unambiguous identification of plant water origin using water isotopes. We explored the causes of this ...
A Review of Possible EEG Markers of Abstraction, Attentiveness and Memorisation in Cyber-Physical Systems for Special Education
(Frontiers Media, 2021-11-02)
[EN]Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) for special education rely on effective mental and brain processing during the lesson, performed with the assistance of humanoid robots. The improved diagnostic ability of the CPS is a ...
Conditional Wave Function Theory: A Unified Treatment of Molecular Structure and Nonadiabatic Dynamics
(American Chemical Society, 2021-11-09)
[EN] We demonstrate that a conditional wave function theory enables a unified and efficient treatment of the equilibrium structure and nonadiabatic dynamics of correlated electron-ion systems. The conditional decomposition ...
Infants differentially extract rules from language
(Nature Research, 2021-10-08)
[EN]Infants readily extract linguistic rules from speech. Here, we ask whether this advantage extends to linguistic stimuli that do not rely on the spoken modality. To address this question, we first examine whether infants ...
