The most classic approach to the dynamics of an n-dimensional mechanical system constrained by d independent holonomic constraints is to pick explicitly a new set of (n - d) curvilinear coordinatesparametrizingthe manifold of configurations satisfying the ...
ECOS2010 - 23rd International Conference on Efficiency, Cost, Optimization, Simulation and Environmental Impact of Energy Systems, June 14-17 2010, Lausanne, Switzerland Ecoefficiency and renewable energy for a sustainable world + Developments, application ...
Les cités résidentielles du second après-guerre posent de nos jours une série de questions majeures. Bien qu'elles possèdent des qualités urbaines, constructives et spatiales, elles sont aujourd'hui inadaptées aux nouvelles conditions de vie et aux normes ...
Recent findings identified electroencephalography (EEG) microstates as the electrophysiological correlates of fMRI resting-state networks. Microstates are defined as short periods (100 ms) during which the EEG scalp topography remains quasi-stable; that is ...
The aim of this contribution is to review the application of thermodynamics to live cultures of microbial and other cells and to explore to what extent this may be put to practical use. A major focus is on energy dissipation effects in industrially relevan ...
Density functional calculations applying periodic boundary conditions have been performed to investigate adsorption and cracking of light alkanes (C 3-C 6) on zeolite H-ZSM-5. Intrinsic energy barriers were obtained from single-point calculations by applyi ...
Light nuclei at room temperature and below exhibit a kinetic energy which significantly deviates from the predictions of classical statistical mechanics. This quantum kinetic energy is responsible for a wide variety of isotope effects of interest in fields ...
Considering accessibility of the 3'UTR is believed to increase the precision of microRNA target predictions. We show that, contrary to common belief, ranking by the hybridization energy or by the sum of the opening and hybridization energies, used in curre ...
Pour la construction de leur premier site de recherche, les membres fondateurs du CERN font appel à des architectes et ingénieurs de renom: Rudolf Steiger – protagoniste majeur de l'architecture moderne en Suisse, et dont l'œuvre commune avec Max Ernst Hae ...
We study some mechanical problems in which a friction force is acting on a system. Using the fundamental concepts of state, time evolution and energy conservation, we explain how to extend Newtonian mechanics to thermodynamics. We arrive at the two laws of ...
