Heat Exchanger Network (HEN) costs and performances estimation for multi-period operation

François Maréchal, Francesca Palazzi, Raffaele Bolliger

This paper addresses the problem of modeling and estimating the cost of the heat exchanger network (HEN) in multi-period operation using pinch technique concepts. The developed method improves the vertical heat exchanges technique originally proposed by Ah ...

Estimating Physical Parameters in a Diffusive Field

Reza Parhizkar

In the recent researches, some methods have been proposed for interpolating the diffusive field values along space, but they either do not use point-wise sampling or deploy large number of sensors in space to keep themselves near Niquist’s sampling rate. I ...

Waypoint navigation with a MAV

Adrien Briod

The goal of the project is to implement a waypoint navigation using GPS as the position input, for an outdoor MAV. A waypoint navigation allows an operator to set a number of places (waypoints) where he wants the plane to pass. The waypoint navigation impl ...

Perceptual learning requires a minimal number of trials per session, but no sleep

Michael Herzog, Elisa Tartaglia, Carl Kristoffer Aberg

A common assumption in perceptual learning is that the improvement of performance basically depends on the amount of training. However, other factors such as sleep and training intensity (trials per session) have also been shown to be important. We trained ...

Financing and takeovers

Erwan Morellec

This paper analyzes the interaction between financial leverage and takeover activity. We develop a dynamic model of takeovers in which the financing strategies of bidding firms and the timing and terms of takeovers are jointly determined. In the paper, cap ...

A kilobit special number field sieve factorization

Arjen Lenstra, Thorsten Kleinjung, Dag Arne Osvik

We describe how we reached a new factoring milestone by completing the first special number field sieve factorization of a number having more than 1024 bits, namely the Mersenne number 21039 -1. Although this factorization is orders of magnitude ...

Can an odd number of fermions be created due to chiral anomaly?

Yannis Burnier

We describe a possible creation of an odd number of fractionally charged fermions in the 1+1 dimensional Abelian Higgs model. We point out that for 1+1 dimensions this process does not violate any symmetries of the theory, nor makes it mathematically incon ...

Adjusted complex position of extra sources in the image sources method

Thomas Guignard, Vincent Martin

Using a series development of the integral solution, a formal backing of the presence of image sources in geometrical acoustics methods has been shown. Furthermore, the existence of "invisible" sources is suggested, especially in the vicinity of obtuse ang ...

Search for lepton and baryon number violating τ- decays into Λ̄π- and Λπ-

Olivier Schneider, Stewart Cole, Chao Wang, Tagir Aushev, Lei Zhang, Vladislav Balagura, Sun Hee Kim, Ji Hyun Kim

We have searched for τ lepton decays, τ-→Λ̄π- and τ-→Λπ-, that simultaneously violate the conservation of the lepton (L) and baryon (B) number using a data sample of 154 fb-1 collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- asymmetric-energy collider. No ...

Primality Testing

Kamal Tahiri Jouti

Since the discovery of the utility of the numbers, the human being tried to differentiate them. We decide between them according to whether they are even or odd. Or, according to the fact that they are prime or composite. A natural number n >1 is called a ...
