Let S be a set of n points in R-2 contained in an algebraic curve C of degree d. We prove that the number of distinct distances determined by S is at least c(d)n(4/3), unless C contains a line or a circle. We also prove the lower bound c(d)' min{m(2/3)n(2/ ...
The paper addresses the important issue of evaluating the overvoltages produced on a power system by a lightning event. First, the theoretical formulation of the problem in the time domain is presented. Then its numerical solution together with its impleme ...

The paperpresents a comprehensive approach for full-wave modeling of grounding systems buried in a multilayer stratified ground. The dyadic spectral domain Green's function associated with the multilayer stratified ground is first derived. This Green's fun ...

We show that for m points and n lines in R-2, the number of distinct distances between the points and the lines is Omega(m(1/5)n(3/5)), as long as m(1/2)
Purpose: To offer a -necessarily non-exhaustive- analysis of the meaning and significance of the notion of a complex system for research on the Business Model (BM). Design/Methodology/Approach: Conceptual paper Findings: Drawing from early research in comp ...
Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis (NLFEA) of the inelastic behaviour of RC walls are often carried out for uni-directional (in-plane) horizontal cyclic loading. In this paper the behaviour of RC walls with different cross-sections (T-shaped and U-shaped) s ...
The paper explores the city of Stockholm, apparently far from the main tracks of other significant European examples due to its peculiar morphological features. The study investigates the Stockholm Town Hall (Stadshuset) and the nearby never-to-be realized ...
Plane reinforced concrete (RC) elements are used in a large variety of structures. Their principal function is to carry forces that act in the plane of the element, but external actions and connections to other structural elements generally introduce addit ...
The present invention relates to an apparatus for imaging a page of a book or other similar document comprising: - a table defining a support plane, the book being disposed on the table such that the page to image is substantially parallel to the support p ...
We propose a signal analysis tool based on the sign (or the phase) of complex wavelet coefficients, which we call a signature. The signature is defined as the fine-scale limit of the signs of a signal's complex wavelet coefficients. We show that the signat ...
