Equil. aspects in biotechnol. and thermodn. as the main theory underlying them have thus far received relatively little attention. As a consequence, design and development of biotechnogical processes is still carried out today in an relatively empirical wa ...
A novel architecture descending from the work of von Neumann, has been developed. This architecture borrows its main principles from living systems. Like living beings, the organisms considered here are able to autonomously develop, maintain their function ...
Combining wireless sensor networks (WSNs) with delay-tolerant networking (DTN) has the potential to extend their use in a multitude of previously impossible applications. However, and despite numerous proposed solutions, there is still wide debate as to ho ...
The flow hydrodynamics in a low specific speed radial pump-turbine reduced scale model is experimentally investigated under off-design operating conditions in generating mode. Wall pressure measurements, in the stator, synchronized with high-speed flow vis ...

The asymmetrical multilevel inverters allow to obtain a high resolution together with a good efficiency thanks to the switch hybridization. Nevertheless, the supplies of the cells must be insulated one from each other, which increases the converter complex ...
Numerous degrees of freedom are often available for the heat integration of batch processes. Usually, only few of these are actually considered and optimized. Time slice-dependant Tmin have been investigated and optimized using a supertargeting procedure o ...
The paper presents the general scheme and the relevant implementation of a Maximum Efficiency Point Tracking (MEPT) system for a Small Hydro Power (SHP) plant equipped with a variable-speed generator. This last consists of a Doubly Fed Induction Generator ...
Hydraulic power is a renewable energy with a very advantageous price, and its flexibility of use coupled with its storage possibilities easily enables to meet the peak demand. Refurbishment of old hydraulic power plants is an important topical issue and th ...
The investigated asymmetrical multilevel inverters consist of series-connected inverter cells with different characteristics. They allow to obtain a very good output-voltage resolution. The feeding of the cells is a delicate point which can increase the in ...
In this paper, we present the design and implementation of the Beteus (Broadband Exchange for Trans-European Usage) communication platform. BETEUS is an european project aiming at developing a generic, stable, flexible and scalable communication platform w ...
