A parallelizable algorithmic framework for solving large scale multi-stage stochastic mixed 0-1 problems under uncertainty
(2011-02)
In this paper we present a parallelizable scheme of the Branch-and-Fix Coordination algorithm for solving medium and large scale multi-stage mixed 0-1 optimization problems under uncertainty. The uncertainty is represented ...
On Downloading and Using CPLEX within COIN-OR for Solving Linear/Integer Optimization Problems
(2011-11)
The aim of this technical report is to present some detailed explanations in order to use the solver CPLEX within COIN-OR
environment. In particular, we describe how to download, install and use the corresponding source ...
Adaptive variable structure control law for a variable speed wind turbine
(WSEAS, 2011)
The efficiency of the wind power conversions systems can be greatly improved using an appropriate control algorithm. In this work, an adaptive robust control for a doubly feed induction generator drive for variable speed ...
High fat diet-induced non alcoholic fatty liver disease in rats is associated with hyperhomocysteinemia caused by down regulation of the transsulphuration pathway
(BioMed Central, 2011)
Background
Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) causes increased oxidative stress and is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Oxidative stress is now believed to be a major contributory factor in the development ...
A new look at Marx's refutation of Ricardo's refutation of the labor theory of value
(2011)
In this paper, I would like to bring back to light the forgotten critique of Marx to the widely accepted view that Ricardo succeeded in refuting the universal validity of the labor theory of value in "Principles", chapter ...
Towards a Basque City? Comparative Territorial Benchmarking from Social Innovation
(Innobasque, 2011)
This is the summary of the PhD of Dr Calzada on the comparative analysis of three city-regions: the Basque Country (Spain), Dublin (Ireland) and Portland (Oregon).
Dynamic comparison of different types of slab tracks and ballasted track using a flexible track model
(Sage Publications, 2011-11)
The dynamic performance of a ballasted track and three types of slab tracks is analysed and compared by means of a comprehensive dynamic model of the train-track system, generated using two commercial analysis software ...
Advances towards behaviour-based indoor robotic exploration
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2011-09-05)
The main contributions of this research work remain in object recognition by computer vision, by one side, and in robot localisation and mapping by the other. The first contribution area of the research address object ...
Pension system's reform in Spain: a dynamic analysis of the effects in Welfare
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitate Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2011-05-27)
El trabajo que se presenta como tesis doctoral tiene un doble objetivo. En primer lugar, se propone una metodología, el análisis dinámico de duración, para estimar los efectos que sobre el bienestar de la población jubilada ...
Measuring the Effect of the Real Estate Bubble: a House Price Index for Bilbao
(2011-11)
A spatio-temporal model is proposed aimed at producing an index of housing prices. A hedonic model with geographically varying coefficients is coupled with a non parametric estimation of the trend, whence a price index is derived.
