Abstract: Microelectronics thermal experts from four continents met in the fall of 2009 at the 15th THERMINIC Workshop in Leuven, Belgium. The event was sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Test ...

Abstract: Numerical models fitting long-term monitoring results represent a useful tool for understanding behavior of dams, especially if unusual performance jeopardizing safety is observed and rehabilitation measures should be ...

Abstract: At the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), a large effort has recently been devoted to define and implement moist physics schemes for variational assimilation of rain- and cloud-affected brightness ...

Abstract: The main objective of this study was to quantify effect of fibers on the onset of strain localization in elastic-plastic cementitious composites. To this end, multidirectional fibers were embedded into an elastic-plastic ...

Abstract: The evaluation of seismic vulnerability of atmospheric above ground steel storage tanks is a fundamental topic in the context of industrial safety. Depending on the shell portion affected, on the extent of damage, and on ...

Abstract: Parallel turning is an excellent candidate for keeping up with current trends set by manufacturing industry, namely, to increase accuracy and productivity simultaneously. In the field of manufacturing of cylindrical parts, ...

Abstract: There is an enormous potential for energy generation from the mixing of sea and river water at global estuaries. Here, we model a novel approach to convert this source of energy directly into hydrogen and electricity using ...

Abstract: The aim of the paper is to analyze the dynamics of house prices in the housing market in Warsaw, Poland, taking into account the spatial relationship between prices. In the first part of this research the geographically ...
