The finishing train of a hot strip mill has been modelled by using a constant volume element model. The accuracy of the model has been increased by using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN). A non-linear Rank Based Genetic Algorithm has been developed for the optimization of the work roll profiles in the finishing stands of the simulated hot strip mill. It has been compared with eight other expe...

We present results from detailed computations focused on chemical mixing in convective regions of very low mass stars (VLMs) and brown dwarfs (BDs) during deuterium burning. Computations are made both in the instantaneous and in the coupled–diffusive mixing schemes to check which mixing is required to treat these phases. The convective timescale is much shorter than the nuclear time scales for ...

In this work we propose a lightweight scheme for negotiating client’s capabilities in the context of end-end content adaptation for wireless web access. Our method is much less complex then W3C’s proposed CC/PP framework. We suggest that for the purposes of content negotiation all (mobile) clients could be grouped into a few relatively large categories. With this assumption we simplify the CC/P...

We describe a two-party wire-tap channel of type II in the framework of almost affine codes. Its cryptological performance is related to some relative profiles of a pair of almost affine codes. These profiles are analogues of relative generalized Hamming weights in the linear case.

Although numerous researches on s-curve motion profiles have been carried out, up to date, no systematic investigation on the general model of polynomial s-curve motion profiles is considered. In this paper, the model of polynomial s-curve motion profiles is generalized in a recursive form. Based on that, a general algorithm to design s-curve trajectory with time-optimal consideration is propos...

The effective behavior of second order strain energy densities is obtained using relaxation and Γ convergence techniques. The Cosserat theory (see e.g. [13], [14] and [2]) is recovered within a dimension reduction analysis for 3D non linear elastic thin domains with varying profiles. Homogeneous and inhomogeneous plate models with periodic profiles are treated.

In this paper, we give novel certificates for triangular equivalence and rank profiles. These certificates enable to verify the row or column rank profiles or the whole rank profile matrix faster than recomputing them, with a negligible overall overhead. We first provide quadratic time and space non-interactive certificates saving the logarithmic factors of previously known ones. Then we propos...

We prove unique continuation properties for solutions of the evolution Schrödinger equation with time dependent potentials. As an application of our method we also obtain results concerning the possible concentration profiles of blow up solutions and the possible profiles of the traveling waves solutions of semi-linear Schrödinger equations.
