In developed countries, the management of existing civil infrastructure is challenging due to evolving functional requirements, aging and climate change. Due to conservative approaches in construction design and practice, infrastructure often has hidden re ...
Humans and some other animals are able to perform tasks that require coordination of movements across multiple temporal scales, ranging from hundreds of milliseconds to several seconds. The fast timescale at which neurons naturally operate, on the order of ...
KRAB-containing poly-zinc finger proteins (KZFPs) constitute the largest family of transcription factors encoded by mammalian genomes, and growing evidence indicates that they fulfill functions critical to both embryonic development and maintenance of adul ...
The present invention relates to a thermal water purification system (10) for producing a distillate liquid from a raw liquid (LP, LB) comprising: - a plurality of distilling units (1 a-1h) which are consecutively flowed through by the raw feed liquid (LP, ...
Characters do not convey meaning, but sequences of characters do. We propose an unsupervised distributional method to learn the abstract meaning-bearing units in a sequence of characters. Rather than segmenting the sequence, this model discovers continuous ...
Masonry building aggregates can be found throughout historical city centers of Europe. Adjacent buildings have often developed during the long densification process, without consistent planning or engineering. It is common for neighboring units to share a ...
To reduce CO2 emissions and tackle global warming, an increasing amount of electrical power consumed around the world must be obtained from renewable sources. Among these sources, hydropower has not only the advantage of leaving a very small carbon footpri ...
In Italy, after the destructions of World War II, due the particular development of economy and the political decision in the field of reconstruction, a government option for building construction industrialization comes up only at the beginning of ‘60s. A ...
The Duge pumped storage power plant in Norway currently experiences a problem with rotor-lifting. One of the two vertical 100 MW units lifts up off its bearings when operated above a certain load. The vertical forces on the units have been known to be marg ...
Due to conservative design models and safe construction practices, civil-infrastructure elements, such as bridges, usually have unknown amounts of reserve capacity that exceed code requirements. The quantification of this reserve capacity may lead to bette ...
