Bioturbation—sediment mixing and ventilation by burrowing animals—provides one of the most prominent examples how animals shape their surroundings. A critical but longstanding question is when in Earth's history bioturbators began to similarly influence marine biogeochemistry. Recent work has proposed that even though development well-mixed sediments was a protracted process, initial rise led d...

DIABMEMORY is a telehealth system supporting patients suffering from diabetes mellitus in selfmanagement of their disease. Patients are equipped with a mobile software application running on a Near-FieldCommunication (NFC)-enabled mobile phone to collect essential health parameters, such as glucose levels, blood pressure, well-being, body weight and physical activity on a regular basis. Data ar...

Emulation mechanisms of the physical synchronous generators obtained through convert-interfaced units are becoming extremely popular in literature. Still impact these strategies on networks frequency transients often does not take into account effect converter DC-bus regulation, that plays a significant role dynamics definition. Thus two main synthetic inertia architectures analysed both mathem...

maintenance is one of the inseparable parts of each industry and relations between this part and others consist of many dynamics and feedbacks. by this regard systems dynamic is a tool that can be used to analyze this part. in this paper for a company that produces wire and cable, cause and effect (feedbacks) between maintenance and others part are modeled. after creating stock-flow diagram, mo...

The aim is to develop an interactive and iterative translation system able to adapt and improve itself rapidly using user’s feedbacks (collected as translation posteditions). We present a preliminary study in which three methods for integrating feedbacks are tested. The results show that, despite the difficulty to measure the system improvement with automatic metrics (given the small size of ou...

The stabilization of nonholonomic systems have focused a lot of attention this last years [see e.g. survey papers 1, 2], in particular because it fails to exist linearizing feedback transformation or static continuous stabilizing state feedback [3] despite they are open-loop controllable [4]. The two main strategies adopted to stabilize these systems are time-varying feedbacks [see e.g. 5, 6, 7...
