Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques support environmental tools based on the growing availability of data and information, aligning concepts modeling analysis. The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an tool that requires a large volume to measure performance product simulate proposed scenarios improve its performance. This research reviewed studies using AI their intersection with LCA ...

The design of 3-dimensional integrated circuits requires new specialized tools, methods and flows. Whereas some tools are on the market and some design flows for standard ICs are extended to handle die stacking and through-silicon vias, much R&D has still to address relevant and crucial problems. We can roughly classify design problems and tools into three categories: i) synthesis of 3D structu...

Integration in psychotherapy can mean many things, from the sequential or simultaneous use of different established techniques, through the adoption of specific hybrid therapies, to the flexibility that is found in the practice of mature clinicians, who consciously or unconsciously adopt techniques or theories borrowed from other disciplines. This book explores and expounds on these integrative...

There are two common types of solution methods for solving simple integrals: using integration constants or using limits of integration. We use the resources framework to model student solution methods. Preliminary results indicate both problematic and meaningful intersections of physical meaning and mathematical formalism when solving linked integrals. Students solving separable first order di...

We show that accelerated optimization methods can be seen as particular instances of multi-step integration schemes from numerical analysis, applied to the gradient flow equation. In comparison with recent advances in this vein, the differential equation considered here is the basic gradient flow and we show that multi-step schemes allow integration of this differential equation using larger st...

We consider numerical integration methods for differentiable manifolds as proposed by Crouch and Grossman. The differential system is phrased by means of a system of frame vector fields on the manifold. The numerical approximation is obtained by composition of flows of vector fields in the linear span of . The methods reduce to traditional Runge-Kutta methods if the frame vector fields are chos...

We discuss a new method of integration over matrix variables based on a suitable gauge choice in which the angular variables decouple from the eigenvalues at least for a class of two-matrix models. The calculation of correlation functions involving angular variables is simple in this gauge. Where the method is applicable it also gives an extremely simple proof of the classical integration formu...
