In a few years, safe and definitive solutions should be ready to manage large quantities of high-level radioactive waste. Deep geological repository involving a multibarrier system constitutes one of the most promising options to isolate such waste from th ...

This paper focuses on a production planning problem in a highly automated manufacturing system considering multiple process plans with different energy requirements. The system consists of several closely interconnected sub-systems such as the processing s ...
Visual deficits in schizophrenic patients are of particular interest because they reflect the deficient circuits of information processing in the brain. In our previous work, we showed that schizophrenic patients have decreased peak amplitudes and reduced ...
The mid-term safety of deep geological nuclear waste repositories is based in part on the presence of a buffer, the main role of which is to isolate the environment from radionuclides. A design evaluation of such a repository is necessary to assess the pot ...
This paper considers a production planning problem in disassembly systems, which is the problem of determining the quantity and timing of disassembling end-of-use/life products in order to satisfy the demand of their parts or components over a planning hor ...
Superscalar out-of-order microarchitectures can be modified to support redundant execution of a program as two concurrent threads for soft-error detection. However, the extra workload from redundant execution incurs a performance penalty due to increased c ...
This dissertation focuses on disassembly scheduling, which is the problem of determining the quantity and timing of disassembling used or end-of-life products while satisfying the demand of their parts/components over a given planning horizon. The objectiv ...
Due to the steady tendency to propose highly customized products and to respond to volatile (i.e random) demands, Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) are now present in most shopfloors. In this thesis, flexibility in a FMS is understood as the ability of ...
tThe sustainable management of phosphorus (P), an essential element for life, is currently discussed inten-sively in research and policy. In order to provide a data basis for national P strategies, various substanceflow analyses (SFA) of P on a national le ...
Assessing the performance of deep geological repositories for heat-generating radioactive waste requires reliable predictions of the thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) behaviour of the clay barriers (the buffer material as well as the host rock/clay). This repr ...
