Hybrid application of conventional concrete and Strain Hardening Cementitious Composite (SHCC) is recently shown to be promising for crack width control. In this paper, a combined experimental numerical study performed validate the concept effect interface treatment on The varied between smooth, profiled, partially debonded completely surfaces. beams are tested under four-point bending configur...

Abstract The authors devote a quantitative assessment on the synchronisation capability of line‐start permanent magnet synchronous motor (LSPMSM) equipped with hybrid rotor. is realised by determining load criterion consisting torques and inertias under which will just synchronise. During process load‐criterion determination, close attention paid to parameters governing behaviour. Following pri...

This paper aims to study stability in distribution of Markovian switching jump diffusions. The main motivation stems from and stabilizing hybrid systems which there is no trivial solution. An explicit criterion for derived. effects Markov chains, Brownian motions, Poisson jumps are revealed. Based on these criteria, stabilization problems stochastic differential equations with developed.

We present a simple, operatingsystem independent method to reduce the number of seek operations and consequently reduce the energy consumption of a hybrid storage device consisting of a hard disk and a flash memory. Trace-driven simulations show that migrating a tiny amount of the address space (0.0001%) from disk to flash already results in a significant storage energy reduction (12%) at virtu...

This paper presents a hybrid ANN/HMM syllable recognition module based on vowel spotting. An advanced multi-level vowel spotting method is used to achieve minimum vowel loss and accurate detection of the vowel location and duration. Discrete Hidden Markov Models (DSHMM), Multi Layer Perceptrons (MLP) and Heuristics (HR) are used for this purpose. A hybrid ANN/HMM technique is then used to recog...

In this paper, a new learning method is proposed to build Support Vector Machines (SVM) Binary Decision Function (BDF) of reduced complexity, efficient generalization and using an adapted hybrid color space. The aim is to build a fast and efficient SVM classifier of pixels. The Vector Quantization (VQ) is used in our learning method to simplify the training set. This simplification step maps pi...

The university course timetabling problem deals with the assignment of lectures to specific timeslots and rooms. The goal is to satisfy the soft constraints to the largest degree possible while constructing a feasible schedule. In this paper, we present a hybrid approach consisting of three phases. During phase 1, initial solutions are generated using a constructive heuristic. An improvement ap...

Observers completed perceptual categorization tasks in which base rates and payoffs were manipulated separately or simultaneously across a range of category discriminabilities. Decision criterion estimates from the simultaneous base-rate/payoff conditions were closer to optimal than those predicted from the independence assumption, in line with predictions from the flat-maxima hypothesis. A hyb...

This paper addresses the problem of computing an exact and effective representation of the set of reachable configurations of a linear hybrid automaton. Our solution is based on accelerating the state-space exploration by computing symbolically the repeated effect of control cycles. The computed sets of configurations are represented by Real Vector Automata (RVA), the expressive power of which ...
