For recurrent service providers (fast-food, entertainment, medical care,...), retaining loyal customers is obviously a key issue. The customers' loyalty essentially depends on their service satisfaction defined via an ad-hoc utility function. Among several ...
The steady states of the Fenton–Karma, the Courtemanche and the Nygren cell models were studied by determining the fixed points of the dynamical system describing their cell kinetics. The linear stability of the fixed points was investigated, as well as th ...
The direct load transmission behavior of hybrid sandwich beams consisting of a bottom fiber-reinforced polymer skin and a top concrete skin was investigated experimentally. The sandwich core consisted of lightweight concretes of different brittleness (sand ...
Let P and Q be finite sets of points in the plane. In this note we consider the largest cardinality of a subset of the Minkowski sum S ⊆ P⊕Q which consist of convex independent points. We show that, if P and Q contain at most n points, then |S| = O(n^(4/3) ...
Learning from experience and adapting to changing stimuli are fundamental capabilities for artificial cognitive systems. This calls for on-line learning methods able to achieve high accuracy while at the same time using limited computer power. Research on ...
Data-driven controller tuning for model reference control problem is investigated. A new controller tuning scheme for linear time-invariant single- input single-output systems is proposed. The method, which is based on the correlation approach, uses a sing ...
In order to guarantee good colour reproduction, modern printers use very large calibration tables based on the measurement of large sample sets. In this thesis, we aim at establishing an accurate colour prediction model which is able to compute the spectra ...
We attempt to generate new solutions for the moisture content form of the one-dimensional Richards' [1931] equation using the Lisle [1992] equivalence mapping. This mapping is used as no more general set of transformations exists for mapping the one-dimens ...
Because of its simplicity and efficiency, the Muskingum- Cunge (M-C) method is a widely used modelling tool applied to flood routing problems. However, in the M-C method, there is an infinite number of combinations of spatial and temporal step sizes for wh ...
Today's vehicle must be efficient in terms of gas (CO2, NOx) emissions and fuel consumption. Due to improvements in material and oil, the continuous variable transmission (CVT) is now making a breakthrough in the automotive market. The CVT decouples the en ...
