We report on how visual realism might influence map-based route learning performance in a controlled laboratory experiment with 104 male participants in a competitive context. Using animations of a dot moving through routes of interest, we find that partic ...
While small scale ORCs are currently dominated by volumetric expanders, the use of turbomachines is reconsidered due to their high efficiency and power density. Yet, suitable performance maps, which ensure an accurate starting point for the turbine design, ...
Integrating social and spatial networks will be critical to new approaches to cities as systems of interaction. In this paper, we focus on the spatial and temporal conditions of encounters as a key condition for the formation of social networks. Drawing on ...
This paper proposes a fast SAT-based algorithm for recovering area applicable to an already technology mapped circuit. The algorithm considers a sequence of relatively small overlapping regions, called windows, in a mapped network and tries to improve the ...
