Typical operating conditions for mobile sensor systems, and in particular mobile robots, exhibit a wide range of mechanical disturbances due their ego-motion. Sensor systems mounted on these mobile platforms often suffer to varying degrees from these distu ...
Critical infrastructures are receiving a great deal of attention, due, on the one hand, to the major malfunctions to which they are subject and their potential as targets of malicious intent on the other. Economic and political impacts are studied; increas ...
Recurrent or ephemeral water shortages are a crucial global challenge, in particular because of their impacts on food production. The global character of this challenge is reflected in the trade among nations of virtual water, i.e. the amount of water used ...
The formation of extended two-dimensional metal organic coordination networks (2D-MOCNs) showing high adaptability to surface step edges and structural defects is revealed by scanning tunneling microscopy. Rod-like 4,4'-di-(1,4-buta-1,3-diynyl)-benzoic aci ...
Micro/nano robots have the potential to revolutionize many aspects of medicine. These untethered, wirelessly controlled and powered devices will make existing therapeutic and diagnostic procedures less invasive and will enable new procedures never before p ...
Merge and divert. (±)-goniomitine was synthesized featuring two key steps: a) fragment coupling to functionalized cyclopentene by a novel palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative vinylation reaction and b) an unprecedented one-pot integrated oxidation/reduction ...
The influence of firms on the elaboration of climate policy in a democratic system is quite controversial. Firms do not form a solid bloc of opponents to environmental regulation. Some firms even expect to gain from such regulation, either because they off ...
We report on a new single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) fabricated in a 130 nm CMOS imaging process. A novel circular structure combining shallow trench isolation (STI) and a passivation implant creates an effective guard ring against premature edge breakd ...
In this research we study the berth allocation problem (BAP) in real time as disruptions occur. In practice, the actual arrival times and handling times of the vessels deviate from their expected or estimated values, which can disrupt the original berthing ...
Initially, choice of regular-interval timetable was mostly addressing operational concerns, aiming to increase the network throughput and to smooth the day-today tasks of the personnel. Separation between infrastructure management and train operations, ind ...
