The influence of temperature and moisture activity on the viscoelastic behavior of fluorinated membranes for fuel cell applications was investigated. Uncrosslinked and crosslinked ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE)-based proton-conducting membranes were p ...
A considerable body of research into the impact of having emotional intelligence has attracted attention to the concept. The strength of this research lies in the link between scores on emotional intelligence tests and outcome measures such as performance ...
We consider the Node-weighted Steiner Forest problem on planar graphs. Demaine et al. showed that a generic primal-dual algorithm gives a 6-approximation. We present two different proofs of an approximation factor of~3. Then, we draw a connection to Goem ...
There are good theoretical grounds for seeing emotional intelligence (EI) as important in the teachers' skill set. Yet there is a lack of data on whether student teachers' levels of EI are associated with their teaching performance. This question was addre ...
Learning motion control as a unified process of designing the reference trajectory and the controller is one of the most challenging problems in robotics. The complexity of the problem prevents most of the existing optimization algorithms from giving satis ...
This thesis presents two approaches to code generation (synthesis) along with a discussion of other related and influential works, their ideas and relations to these approaches. The common goal of these approaches is to efficiently and effectively assist d ...
Recently, age-related hippocampal (HP) volume loss could be associated with a decrease in general fluid intelligence (gF). In the present study we investigated whether and how extensive musical training modulates human HP volume and gF performance. Previou ...
Particle Swarm Optimization is a simple and elegant optimization algorithm used to solve a large variety of different real-valued problems. When it comes to solving combinations of continuous and discrete problems however, PSO by itself is not very well su ...
A method to synthesize shaped beams with antenna arrays is presented. Specifically, the element excitations are determined such that the array radiates a power pattern that approximates a desired shape. To efficiently solve this problem, an iterative algor ...
Aircraft Electric Power Systems (EPS) route power from generators to vital avionic loads by configuring a set of electronic control switches denoted as contactors. In this paper, we address the problem of designing a hierarchical optimal control strategy f ...
