This paper reports a high-resolution, non-intrusive, low-cost technique to measure volumes of erosion and deposition of fine sediments. The combination of two techniques, photography and laser scanning, gives the advantage of simultaneous quantitative esti ...
Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (FRC) toughness parameters, crucial for structural design, can be obtained either by using load–deflection or load–crack opening displacement(COD) relationships. Therefore, determination of midspan-deflection under a given crack w ...
n major distributed optimization system, the main bottleneck is often the communication between the different machines. To reduce the time dedicated to communications, some heuristics have been developed to reduce the precision of the messages sent and hav ...
Control reserves are power generation or consumption entities that ensure balance of supply and demand of electricity in real-time. In many countries, they are procured through a market mechanism in which entities provide bids. The system operator determin ...
The framework for analyzing sustainability of social-ecological systems (SES) framework of Elinor Ostrom is a multitier collection of concepts and variables that have proven to be relevant for understanding outcomes in diverse SES. The first tier of this f ...
Sharing and redistributing assets between individuals has become a noticeable part of the economy. Ownership is no longer the sole mode of consumption and consumers have the option of choosing between ownership and access-based consumption. This change in ...
In this paper, we consider the problem of Gaussian process (GP) optimization with an added robustness requirement: The returned point may be perturbed by an adversary, and we require the function value to remain as high as possible even after this perturba ...
Localizing, identifying and authenticating the individual occupants is of paramount importance for the future intelligent buildings. Although the performance of outdoor positioning systems is sufficiently good, the indoor ones have still to converge to a u ...
Infrastructure can be wielded as a means of promoting the common good or as an institutional weapon of exploitation. While the highways, bridges and dams funded by international economic interests and built in outlying regions like the Amazon play a role t ...
We consider two prominent mechanisms for the electricity market; the pay-as-bid mechanism, currently applied in certain control reserve markets, and the proposed Vickrey- Clarke-Groves mechanism, an established auction mechanism used in advertising and spe ...
