Adaptive Modeling of the International Space Station Electrical Power System

The ALTCRISS project on board the International Space Station

The Altcriss project aims to perform a long term survey of the radiation environment on board the International Space Station. Measurements are being performed with active and passive devices in different locations and orientations of the Russian segment of the station. The goal is perform a detailed evaluation of the differences in particle fluence and nuclear composition due to different shie...

Phase Transitions in Separated Dp−1 and anti-Dp−1 Branes at Finite Temperature

We consider a pair of parallel Dp−1 and anti-Dp−1 branes in flat space, with a finite separation d along some perpendicular spatial direction and at finite temperature. If this spatial direction is compactified on a circle then by T-duality, the system is equivalent to a Dp-antiDp pair wrapped around the dual circle with a constant Wilson line A ≈ d on one of the branes. We focus in particular ...

DP Algorithms for RNA Secondary Structure Prediction with Pseudoknots

This paper describes simple DP (dynamic programming) algorithms for RNA secondary structure prediction with pseudoknots, for which no explicit DP algorithm had been known. Results of preliminary computational experiments are described too.

The NRC 3-D Laser Tracking System: IIT’s Contribution to the International Space Station Project*

Advances in the 3D sensing of dynamics and unstructured environments require the development of intelligent systems, algorithms, and methods to replace or at least minimize the human intervention to the 3D acquisition process. From the user point of view, most existing 3D acquisition systems still require static techniques that can be considered archaic when compared to current 2D still cameras...
