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 ...
Towards the automation of the die spotting process: Contact blue pattern decryption
(Elsevier Ltd., 2020)
Automotive die spotting is one of the most complex and least standardized processes in the tool making process. A spotting expert identifies local contact areas through a blue-paste pattern and the die/sheet contact is ...
Power Capability Boundaries for an Inverter Providing Multiple Grid Support Services
(MDPI AG, 2020)
It is getting more common every day to install inverters that o er several grid support services in parallel. As these services are provided, a simultaneous need arises to know the combined limit of the inverter for those ...
A Strategic Approach for Bottleneck Identification in Make-To-Order Environments: A Drum-Buffer-Rope Action Research Based Case Study
(OmniaScience, 2020)
Purpose: This study focused on providing a strategic perspective for the selection and exploitation of bottlenecks in make-to-order production systems, a largely unexplored field in the literature. The researchers developed ...
Efficient Calculation of Stabilization Parameters in RF Power Amplifiers
(IEEE, 2020)
This paper proposes an efficient method for the calculation of the stabilization parameters in RF power amplifiers operating in periodic large-signal regimes. Stabilization is achieved by applying the principles of linear ...
Stability analysis under thermogravitational effect
(Elsevier Masson SAS, 2020)
In the present work, an interferometric unsteady analysis of the thermogravitational technique was for the first time attempted in a paralelepipedic microcolumn
using binary mixtures with negative Soret coefficients. In ...
Effect of Boron Content and Cooling Rate on the Microstructure and Boride Formation of β-Solidifying γ-TiAl TNM Alloy
(MDPI AG, 2020)
Boron is a unique and popular grain refiner element in cast titanium aluminide (TiAl) alloys, as it helps to improve mechanical properties if properly alloyed. However, the formation mechanism of different types of borides ...
Innovar la gobernanza de la investigación y la innovación: la experimentación de prácticas deliberativas en Europa
(Centro de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades, Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes, 2020-09)
En el marco de las políticas de investigación europeas hay una inclinación creciente por abrir a debate la propia definición de los problemas y los beneficios esperados asociados a su resolución. Ello ha adoptado la forma ...
Case Study of the Experience Capturer Evaluation Tool in the Design Process of an Industrial HMI
(MDPI AG, 2020)
In the absence of user experience evaluation tools for industrial human–machine interfaces (HMI), a specific tool called eXperience Capturer (XC) has been created. It is a multi-method user-centred tool that evaluates the ...
