A lignocellulosic ethanol strategy via nonenzymatic sugar production: Process synthesis and analysis

The work develops a strategy for the production of ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass. In this strategy, the cellulose and hemicellulose fractions are simultaneously converted to sugars using a γ-valerolactone (GVL) solvent containing a dilute acid catal ...

A self-consistent model for the saturation dynamics of the vortex shedding around the mean flow in the unstable cylinder wake

François Gallaire, Cristobal Manuel Arratia Martinez, Vladislav Mantic Lugo

The supercritical instability leading to the Benard-von Karman vortex street in a cylinder wake is a well known example of supercritical Hopf bifurcation: the steady solution becomes linearly unstable and saturates into a periodic limit cycle. Nonetheless, ...

Full blow-up range for co-rotaional wave maps to surfaces of revolution

Can Gao

We construct blow-up solutions of the energy critical wave map equation on

\mathbb{R}^{2+1}\to \mathcal N

with polynomial blow-up rate (

t^{-1-\nu}

for blow-up at

t=0

) in the case when

\mathcal N

is a surface of revolution. Here we extend the blow-u ...

High mobility… to have a job ?

Emmanuel Pierre Jean Ravalet, Stéphanie Vincent, Yann Francis Eric Dubois

Social and spatial mobility is a key value of late modern societies. Necessity to move is linked to flexibility needs of the labour force and more generally is supposed to be a necessary condition for career success. Consequently, increasing numbers of per ...

Putting the Pieces Together: The Construction of a Reliable Virtualizing Object-Based Storage Stack

Raja Appuswamy

The operating system storage stack is an important software component, but it faces several reliability threats. The research community has come up with many solutions to address individual parts of this reliability problem. However, when considering the b ...

An optimal error nonlinearity for robust adaptation against impulsive noise

Ali H. Sayed, Ali Zoubir

The least-mean squares algorithm is non-robust against impulsive noise. Incorporating an error nonlinearity into the update equation is one useful way to mitigate the effects of impulsive noise. This work develops an adaptive structure that parametrically ...

Model-Free Methodologies for Data-Interpretation during Continuous Monitoring of Structures

Irwanda Laory

Most civil engineering infrastructures, especially bridges worldwide, are approaching the end of their designed lifespan. They are continuously deteriorating due largely to material aging, excessive loads and changing environments. Therefore, it is crucial ...

Automatic Generation of Constructable Brick Sculptures

Mark Pauly, Yuliy Gennadievich Schwartzburg, Romain Pierre Testuz

Fabrication of LEGO models in large scale requires careful pre-planning to produce constructable and stable models. We propose a system that, starting with a voxelization of a 3D mesh, merges voxels to form larger bricks, and then analyzes and repairs stru ...

Product relationships management enabler for concurrent engineering and product lifecycle management

The current competitive industrial context requires more flexible, intelligent and compact product lifecycles, especially in the product development process where several lifecycle issues have to be considered, so as to deliver lifecycle oriented products. ...
