Airlines schedules are built such as to maximize expected profit. Such schedules turn out to be more sensitive to delays and are hence unstable. The trend has thus evolved towards robust schedules, trading off between sensitivity with respect to disruption ...
Shallow and deep geothermal resources can be used to produce different energy services, such as district heating, electricity and cooling. Some of these services vary throughout the year. To provide them, different conversion technologies can be used. In o ...
A heterogeneous interconnect architecture can be a useful approach for the design of 3-D FPGAs. A methodology to investigate heterogeneous interconnection schemes for 3-D FPGAs under different 3-D fabrication technologies is proposed. Application of the pr ...
The jamming scenario of disordered media, formulated about ten years ago, has in recent years been advanced by analyzing model systems of granular media. This has led to various new concepts that are increasingly being explored a variety of systems. This c ...
In this work we discuss about the method development, applicability and limitations of an asymmetric flow field flow fractionation (A4F) system in combination with a multi-detector setup consisting of UV/vis, light scattering, and inductively coupled plasm ...
Anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) containing arrays of aligned cylindrical nanopores infil-trated with polymers is a well defined model system for the study of hypersound propagation in polymer nanocomposites. Hypersonic phononic properties of AAO/polymer nanoc ...
We investigate the dynamic behavior of concrete in relation to its composition within a computational framework (FEM). Concrete is modeled using a meso-mechanical approach in which aggregates and mortar are represented explicitly. Both continuum phases are ...
The aim of this project was to reduce the fuel gas consumption of an existing gas refinery. Using pinch technology, it was found that energy savings up to 20% were possible on the process side. The entire plant was modeled in an energy integration tool in ...
This chapter presents a modeling methodology for the top-down/bottom-up design of RF systems based on systematic use of VHDL-AMS models. The model interfaces are parameterizable and pin-accurate. The designer can choose to parameterize the models using per ...
We propose here an application to sensing of annular aperture arrays (AAA). We theoretically investigate the optical properties of the reflective AAA device when illuminated in-plane. The cavity presents almost perfect absorption due to the waveguide mode ...
