Preschool children, aged 4 and 5 years, report different understandings of the phenomenon of plant reproduction. We use their ideas as a starting point in designing an electronic device that illustrates phases of plant growth in response to children's augm ...
In this paper we study the problem of updates in truly decentralised and self-organising systems such as pure P2P systems. We assume low online probabilities of the peers (
The increasing importance of sustainability in urban and architectural design is strongly questioning the actual logic of built environment dispersion. In this context, the regeneration of urban wastelands constitutes an important potential for urban densi ...
The Electronic Laboratory Journal: A Web-Based Collaborative Environment for Remote Experimentation Georgios Fakas, and Denis Gillet Numerous tools have been developed that support the collaboration between students in education, tools that mainly include ...
In combination with the rapid technical improvements of computers, building large virtual scenes has become a popular field in computer graphics for education, films or games. Often, virtual humans populate scenes such as real reconstructed city, disappear ...
In order to display huge scenes with virtual human inhabitants evolving inside a virtual city, we propose a methodology to create and manage different levels of detail for a well-segmented scene without "re-meshing" the scene during simulation. A database ...
The LCI (Load commutated Inverter) is still today a suitable solution for supplying high power variable speed drive systems. The following main topics are described in this contribution: The modeling of a 20 MW LCI synchronous drive system for a compressio ...
Our research focuses on animating autonomous virtual humans which are able to take decisions by themselves. We especially address in this paper the technical problem of integrating altogether the physical simulation of agents (represented as virtual humans ...
The primary damage formation in Mo is investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation with embedded-defect (ED) and embedded-atom method (EAM) interatomic potentials. The former is similar in spirit to the latter but includes an approximate treatment ...
High power microwave (HPM) and ultra wide band (UWB) sources can represent a threat for the sensitive equipment of various military and civil targets. The paper focuses on effects on aircraft and discusses the modeling possibilities available today to esti ...
