This paper presents a review of advanced architectures based on the partial power processing concept, whose main objective is to achieve a reduction of the power processed by the converter. If the power processed by the ...

Environmental decisions and prosocial behaviors have been shown to be emotionally mediated, and language is at the core of emotions. The language context can alter the way decisions are made, and using a foreign language ...

Due to the importance of sensors in railway traction drives availability, sensor fault diagnosis has become a key point in order tomove frompreventivemaintenance to condition-basedmaintenance. Most research works are limited ...

Sagittal craniosynostosis consists of premature fusion (ossification) of the sagittal suture during infancy, resulting in head deformity and brain growth restriction. Spring-assisted cranioplasty (SAC) entails skull incisions ...

In recent years, most content-based spam filters have been implemented using Machine Learning (ML) approaches by means of token-based representations of textual contents. After introducing multiple performance enhancements, ...

In this study, a frame of reference was developed to adapt and execute a continuous improvement process (CIP) for reinforcing a continuous improvement (CI) culture in an organisation. The study was undertaken in a mature ...

Global ontologies include common vocabularies to provide interoperability among different applications. These ontologies require a balance of reusability-usability to minimise the ontology reuse effort in different ...

The methodology used in the present study is based on quantitative content analysis using the survey technique. This technique makes it possible to obtain empirical data on various key aspects of the profession that are ...

The heterogeneity of energy ontologies hinders the interoperability between ontology-based energymanagement applications to perform a large-scale energy management. Thus, there is the need fora global ontology that provides ...

Dynamic testing of materials is necessary to model high-speed forming processes (i.e. hammer forging, blanking) and crash/impact behavior of structures, among others. The most common machines to perform medium to high-speed ...
