We present an optimization algorithm developed for a provider of software planning tools for distribution logistics companies. The algorithm computes a daily plan for a heterogeneous fleet of vehicles, that can depart from different depots and must visit a ...
We consider the task of recovering correlated vectors at a central decoder based on fixed linear measurements obtained by distributed sensors. A general formulation of the problem is proposed, under both a universal and an almost sure reconstruction requir ...
In the framework of process optimization, the use of measurements to compensate the effect of uncertainty has re-emerged as an active area of research. One of the ideas therein is to adapt the inputs in order to track the active constraints and push certai ...
A detailed thermo-economic model considering different technological alternatives for thermochemical production of Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG) from lignocellulosic biomass is presented. First, candidate technology for processes based on biomass gasificatio ...
We introduce an interdisciplinary project for archaeological and computer vision research teams on the analysis of the ancient Maya writing system. Our first task is the automatic retrieval of Maya syllabic glyphs using the Shape Context descriptor. We inv ...
In this work, we focus on managing scientific environmental data, which are measurement readings collected from wireless sensors. In environmental science applications, raw sensor data often need to be validated, interpolated, aligned and aggregated before ...
In this paper we consider the class of anti-uniform Huffman codes and derive tight lower and upper hounds on the average length, entropy, and redundancy of such codes in terms of the alphabet size of the source. Also an upper bound on the entropy of AUH co ...

We consider source coding with a fidelity criterion, channel coding with a channel input constraint, and the combined problem of reproducing a source across a noisy channel. All three cases face a similar tradeoff between resource and performance, and the o ...
A considerable number of flat slabs supported by columns need to be strengthened against punching shear. Reasons are increasing loads, construction or design errors, but also more stringent code requirements due to the increased knowledge gained in the pas ...
Understanding firm reactions to regulatory uncertainty is vital for the functioning of a market. Deficient investments, particularly in the power generation sector, could jeopardize the market in the long run. ...
