The circular economy concept, as presented by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation (EMF), together with many other organisations, could be threatened by opportunists and fantasists. In essence, anyone with an aversion to seek to scientifically clarify the presen ...
Roughness determines many functional properties of surfaces, such as adhesion, friction, and (thermal and electrical) contact conductance. Recent analytical models and simulations enable quantitative prediction of these properties from knowledge of the pow ...
The calculation of the inverse scalelengths R/LT, R/Ln may depend on the choice of the radial variable, depending on the definition of the scalelength. The value of λT and λn, as defined in [O. Sauter {\it et al}, Phys. Plasmas {\bf ...
In this work we aim to study “crowd” dynamics in small teams. To this end, we use the typology of crowds discussed in Viscusi and Tucci [2015] as an interpretive framework, arguing that other characteristics are relevant to identify crowds than the number ...
Recognition of real-world entities is crucial for most NLP applications. Since its introduction some twenty years ago, named entity processing has undergone a significant evolution with, among others, the definition of new tasks (e.g. entity linking) and t ...

A definition of online authenticated-encryption (OAE), call it OAE1, was given by Fleischmann, Forler, and Lucks (2012). It has become a popular definitional target because, despite allowing encryption to be online, security is supposed to be maintained ev ...
Nanotechnology has become a key word of public interest, since people realized the social and economic power of nanotechnology development. Nanotechnology has already become part of our daily life, and it will have an as yet unknown technological impact be ...
A definition of bivariate matrix functions is introduced and some theoretical as well as algorithmic aspects are analyzed. It is shown that our framework naturally extends the usual notion of (univariate) matrix functions and allows to unify existing resul ...
We propose and study the notions of behaviour type and composition operator making a first step towards the definition of a formal framework for studying behaviour composition in a setting sufficiently general to provide insight into how the component-base ...
This paper aims at giving a definition for waste heat in analogy to the definitions of natural resources and reserves. It aims also at presenting a method for identifying, characterizing and quantifying the available waste heat of an industrial system that ...
