While artificial intelligence is successful in many applications that cover specific domains, for many commonsense problems there is still a large gap with human performance. Automated sentiment analysis is a typical example: while there are techniques tha ...
K-Theory was originally defined by Grothendieck as a contravariant functor from a subcategory of schemes to abelian groups, known today as K0. The same kind of construction was then applied to other fields of mathematics, like spaces and (not necessarily c ...
Companies are valued by their market competitiveness. To be competitive in the market, companies have to respond to their customer requirements as best as possible. To this end, companies introduce new products to the market to better capture customer requ ...
Many problems in combinatorial geometry can be formulated in terms of curves or surfaces containing many points of a cartesian product. In 2000, Elekes and Rónyai proved that if the graph of a polynomial f(x, y) contains cn2 points of an n × n × n cartesia ...
The activation of carbon-carbon σ bonds is a complementary method to access uncommon and difficult-to-prep. organometallic species. Herein, we describe the activation of tert-cyclobutanols through an enantioselective insertion of a chiral rhodium(I) compl ...
Glass is a central element to modern architecture and can cover up to 100% of a building façade. The main purpose of large glazed areas is to create bright, comfortable and healthy spaces. It was shown that increasing natural light in offices reduces sickn ...
Within the context of microgrids optimal voltage control, most schemes proposed in the literature either rely on (i) droop-control methods or (ii) methods involving the computation of explicit nodal power set-points as a solution to a given optimization pr ...
The scale-up/-down of polymn. reactors has to deal with large viscosity changes during the process, addressing mass- and heat-transfer issues. A practical example on scale-up of styrene and Me methacrylate free radical bulk and soln. polymn. is presented. ...
Statistical pattern recognition occupies a central place in the general context of machine learning techniques, as it provides the theoretical insights and the practical means for solving a variety of problems ranging from character recognition to face rec ...
A decision making tool is proposed to evaluate assembly costs of micro-products (< 1 dm(3)) and to compare different assembly strategies for a given product or product family. The tool takes into account equipment costs as well as running costs, for manual ...
