A Framework for Vulnerability Detection in European Train Control Railway Communications
(Wiley Hindawi, 2018)
Railway systems have evolved considerably in the last years with the adoption of new communication technologies. Aiming to achieve a single European railway network, the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) ...
Electricity production, capacity factor, and plant efficiency index at the Mutriku wave farm (2014–2016)
(Elsevier, 2018-01-01)
Mutriku has recently become the first commercial wave farm to release its operating data. The plant has 14 OWC operating turbines, and this study has conducted an analysis of hourly data corresponding to the 2014–2016 ...
Advanced-Retarded Differential Equations in Quantum Photonic Systems
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-02-23)
We propose the realization of photonic circuits whose dynamics is governed by advanced-retarded differential equations. Beyond their mathematical interest, these photonic configurations enable the implementation of quantum ...
Morphology, Nucleation, and Isothermal Crystallization Kinetics of Poly(Butylene Succinate) Mixed with a Polycarbonate/MWCNT Masterbatch
(MDPI, 2018-04-10)
In this study, nanocomposites were prepared by melt blending poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) with a polycarbonate (PC)/multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) masterbatch, in a twin-screw extruder. The nanocomposites contained ...
Towards the Use of Similarity Distances to Music Genre Classification: a Comparative Study
(Public Library Science, 2018-02-14)
Music genre classification is a challenging research concept, for which open questions remain regarding classification approach, music piece representation, distances between/within genres, and so on. In this paper an ...
Quantum illumination reveals phase-shift inducing cloaking
(Nature Publishing, 2017-08-24)
In quantum illumination entangled light is employed to enhance the detection accuracy of an object when compared with the best classical protocol. On the other hand, cloaking is a stealth technology based on covering a ...
Successive Onset of Molecular, Cellular and Tissue-Specific Responses in Midgut Gland of Littorina littorea Exposed to Sub-Lethal Cadmium Concentrations
(MDPI, 2017-08)
Cadmium (Cd) is one of the most harmful metals, being toxic to most animal species, including marine invertebrates. Among marine gastropods, the periwinkle (Littorina littorea) in particular can accumulate high amounts of ...
Supervised Quantum Learning without Measurements
(Nature Publishing, 2017-10-20)
We propose a quantum machine learning algorithm for efficiently solving a class of problems encoded in quantum controlled unitary operations. The central physical mechanism of the protocol is the iteration of a quantum ...
Approximate Quantum Adders With Genetic Algorithms: An IBM Quantum Experience
(De Gruyter Open, 2017-07)
It has been proven that quantum adders are
forbidden by the laws of quantum mechanics. We analyze
theoretical proposals for the implementation of approximate
quantum adders and optimize them by means
of genetic algorithms, ...
A Multi-Disciplinary Approach to Remote Sensing through Low-Cost UAVs
(MDPI, 2017-06)
The use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) based on remote sensing has generated low cost monitoring, since the data can be acquired quickly and easily. This paper reports the experience related to agave crop analysis with ...
