For about 25 years already, automatic thawing agent spraying systems have been a helpful contribution to the task of winter maintenance. These systems allow a quick intervention as soon as a risk of icing of the roadway appears by spraying a liquid thawing ...
The Broker with the cost function model of the ISS/VIOLA Meta-Scheduling System implementation is described in details. The Broker includes all the algorithmic steps needed to determine a well suited machine for an application component. This judicious cho ...
Neuromodulation is thought to be one of the underlying principles of learning and memory in biological neural networks. Recent experiments have shown that neuroevolutionary methods benefit from neuromodulation in simple grid-world problems. In this paper w ...
Le but de ce projet est de tester le principe du « friction drive » sur des micro-robots avec un minimum de composants « on board ». Le « friction drive » est une utilisation d’une vibration horizontale et d’un changement, par différents moyens, de la forc ...
An important challenge in large-eddy simulations of the atmospheric boundary layer is the specification of the subgrid-scale (SGS) model coefficient(s) and, in particular, how to account for factors such as position in the flow, grid/filter scale and atmos ...
This contribution proposes the study of an ‘On-Line’ UPS, where adaptations have been made to replace the initial batteries with supercapacitors. As the electrical behavior of supercapacitors is different from that one of lead-acid batteries, a power elect ...
We propose a single source reliable broadcasting algorithm for linear grid-based networks where a message is guaranteed to be delivered to all the nodes of the network. The nodes are mobile and can move from one grid point to another. The solution does not ...
In this work a general framework for the simulation of sedimentary basins in presence of salt structures is addressed. Sediments and evaporites are modeled as non-Newtonian fluids and the thermal effects induced by the presence of salt are taken into accou ...
A new tuning-free subgrid-scale model, termed locally averaged scale-dependent dynamic ( LASDD) model, is developed and implemented in large-eddy simulations ( LES) of stable boundary layers. The new model dynamically computes the Smagorinsky coefficient a ...
The effect of nitrogen substoichiometry on the isostructural phase stabilities of the cubic Ti1-xAlxN1-y system has been investigated using first-principles calculations. The preferred isostructural decomposition pattern in these metastable solid solutions ...
