This paper focuses on the development of new approaches to observe transient phenomena in critical marine environments using autonomous vehicles (AMVs) for acquisition physical and biogeochemical parameters water seabed characterization. The connection with metrological principles, together adoption observing methodologies adjustable according specific environment being studied, allows research...

There are an increasing number of biological and bioengineering contexts in which cavitation is either utilized to create some desired effect or occurs as a byproduct of some other process. In this review an attempt will be made to describe a cross-section of these cavitation phenomena. In the byproduct category we describe some of the cavitation generated by head injuries and in artifical hear...

Synopsis The stress vs strain curves in dense colloidal dispersions under start up shear flow are investigated combining experiments on model core shell microgels, computer simulations of hard disk mixtures, and mode coupling theory. In dense fluid and glassy states, the transient stresses exhibit first a linear increase with the accumulated strain, then a maximum (stress overshoot) for strain ...

This report investigates the transient phenomena due to run-time reconfigurations in controlled systems. It is shown that in the case of dynamic systems these reconfiguration transients might be reduced to a considerable extent using dedicated design-time and/or run-time methods. The methodology behind applies the so-called model-integrated approach [SK97], which tries to utilize the available ...
