On the Role of Contact and System Stiffness in the Measurement of Principal Variables in Fretting Wear Testing
(MDPI AG, 2020)
In this work, the role of the contact stiffness in the measurement of principal variables in fretting wear tests is assessed. Several fretting wear tribometers found in the literature, including one developed by the authors, ...
Systematic complexity reduction of wave-to-wire models for wave energy system design
(Elsevier Ltd., 2020)
Wave-to-wire models are valuable tools for a variety of applications in the development of successful wave energy converters. However, computational requirements of these wave-to-wire models are often prohibitive for certain ...
Optical Dual Laser Based Sensor Denoising for OnlineMetal Sheet Flatness Measurement Using Hermite Interpolation
(MDPI AG, 2020)
Flatness sensors are required for quality control of metal sheets obtained from steel coils by roller leveling and cutting systems. This article presents an innovative system for real-time robust surface estimation of ...
Better to Be Alone than in Bad Company: Cognate Synonyms Impair Word Learning
(MDPI, 2020-07-29)
The effects of cognate synonymy in L2 word learning are explored. Participants learned
the names of well-known concrete concepts in a new fictional language following a picture-word
association paradigm. Half of the ...
A Diagnostics Framework for Underground Power Cables Lifetime Estimation Under Uncertainty
(IEEE, 2020)
Power cables are critical assets for the reliable operation of the grid. The cable lifetime is generally estimated from the conductor temperature and associated lifetime reduction.
However, these tasks are intricate due ...
Analysis and Design Guidelines for Current Control Loops of Grid-Connected Converters Based on Mathematical Models
(MDPI AG, 2020)
Having a method for analyzing and designing regulators of controls that contain many current loops such as active filters is not a trivial task. There can be many parameters of regulators and filters that must be carefully ...
Gazteria eta irratia aro digitalean: nazioarteko praktiken azterketa, euskal gazteen iritziak eta aurrera begirako proposamenak
(Behategia: Euskal Hedabideen Behatokia, 2020-07)
Lan honek Euskal Herriko gazteen musika eta entretenimendu-edukien kontsumoa ikertzen du, euskarazko eskaintzan sumatzen dituzten hutsuneak identifikatzeko asmoz. Lau bide baliatu dira informazioa biltzeko: nazioarteko ...
A review of the effects of cyclic contact loading on fretting fatigue behaviour
(Sage Publishing Ltd., 2020)
A damage phenomenon called fretting fatigue frequently takes place when two contact bodies are clamped together under a normal contact load along with a small-scale oscillatory motion due to cyclic loading. In contrast to ...
Managing Multiple Projects in Uncertain Contexts: A Case Study on the Application of a New Approach Based on the Critical Chain Method
(MDPI AG, 2020)
Uncertainty and change are two features of modern project management. They strongly influence the project management needs to operate in such contexts. This is the case when a complete and accurate definition of the scope ...
Validation of Random Forest Machine Learning Models to Predict Dementia-Related Neuropsychiatric Symptoms in Real-World Data
(IOS Press, 2020)
Background: Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) are the leading cause of the social burden of dementia but their role is underestimated.
Objective: The objective of the study was to validate predictive models to separately ...
