Plate heat exchangers are widely adopted in many industrial applications, such as ventilation, air conditioning, heat transfer processes, heat pumps and cooling of hydrodynamic circuits in engines. They provide higher heat transfer performance, compactness ...
Large wood (LW) is an important element in riparian and mountain ecosystems and influences geomorphic controls, particularly in torrents and mountain rivers. Despite several advantages, LW can also exacerbate flood damage near infrastructure due to logjams ...
We perform a second-order sensitivity analysis of the linear temporal stability of a parallel flow subject to small spanwise periodic modification. The need for a second-order analysis results from the fact that spanwise-periodic flow modifications have a ...
The development of material flow analysis (MFA) on large-scale systems is challenging due to the complexity and breadth of data that are required and the magnitude of the mass flows involved. This is true, for example, when trying to determine the material ...

The aim of tool path planning is to maximize the efficiency against some given precision criteria. In practice, scallop height should be kept constant to avoid unnecessary cutting, while the tool path should be smooth enough to maintain a high feed rate. H ...
Fine-grain data parallelism is increasingly common in mainstream processors in the form of long vectors and on-chip GPUs. This paper develops compiler and runtime support to exploit such data parallelism for non-numeric, non-graphic, irregular parallel tas ...
In this paper we propose a novel recursive algorithm that models the neighborhood mechanism, which is commonly used in self-organizing neural networks (NNs). The neighborhood can be viewed as a map of connections between particular neurons in the NN. Its r ...

In this paper, we present biconditional binary deci- sion diagrams (BBDDs), a novel canonical representation form for Boolean functions. BBDDs are binary decision diagrams where the branching condition, and its associated logic expansion, is biconditional ...

This chapter presents a new development of rapid prototyping tools for system design based on data-flow specifications. In this context, the efficiency of tools for the automatic translation from the data-flow programs to C and/or HDL are assessed by means ...
Current video coding standards, and their reference implementations, are architected as large monolithic and sequential algorithms, in spite of the considerable overlap of functionality between standards, and the fact that they are frequently implemented o ...
