Connotative meaning of travel modes and activity-travel behavior
(Elsevier Ltd, 2018)
This paper aims to present results of a study regarding how the meaning of travel modes influences on the performance of activities and trips.
Connotative meaning of travel modes was measured using semantic differential ...
Simple voltage balancing method to protect series-connected devices experimentally verified in a 5L-MPC converter
(IEEE, 2018)
This paper presents a solution for the voltage balance problem of the series-connected devices that can be applied to multilevel converters in which the series-connected devices need to block twice their switched voltage. ...
Performance and internationalization effects of the use of ICT in diversified companies
(Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena, 2018)
The relationship between Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and business performance has been a topic of great importance for academics from different areas for several decades. In this sense, this study ...
Determining tool/chip temperatures from thermography measurements in metal cutting
(Elsevier, 2018)
Temperature measurement in metal cutting is of central importance as tool wear and surface integrity have been demonstrated to be temperature dependent. In this context, infrared thermography is presented as a reliable ...
Digital Interferometry Applied to Thermogravitational Technique
(Springer, 2018)
In this work, we have applied Optical Digital Interferometry approach to thermogravitational micro-column technique. By the new analysis, we examine the entire height of the micro-column and determine the complete concentration ...
Reduction of distortions in large aluminium parts by controlling machining-induced residual stresses
(Springer, 2018)
Large aluminium monolithic parts used in the aeronautic industry frequently show significant geometric distortions after the machining process. These distortions are the consequence of the initial residual stresses of the ...
Fe nanoparticles produced by electric explosion of wire for new generation of magneto-rheological fluids
(IOP Publishing, 2018)
Iron magnetic nanoparticles were produced by the technique of the electric explosion of a wire (EEW). The major crystalline phase (95 ± 1%) was α-Fe with lattice parameter a = 0.2863(3) nm. The size of the coherent diffraction ...
A methodology for model-based verification of safety contracts and performance requirements
(SAGE, 2018)
The verification of safety requirements becomes crucial in critical systems where human lives depend on their correct functioning. Formal methods have often been advocated as necessary to ensure the reliability of software ...
A case study on the use of machine learning techniques for supporting technology watch
(Elsevier, 2018)
Technology Watch human agents have to read many documents in order to manually categorize and dispatch them to the correct expert, that will later add valued information to each document. In this two step process, the first ...
