Abstract This paper describes the conic operator splitting method (COSMO) solver, an algorithm and associated software package for convex optimisation problems with quadratic objective function constraints. At each step, alternates between solving a quasi-definite linear system constant coefficient matrix projection onto sets. The low per-iteration computational cost makes particularly efficien...

Resumo O artigo tem por objetivo refletir sobre as relações entre sistema xamânico, produção e transmissão de conhecimentos corporalidade, a partir uma etnografia junto professores bilíngues da rede escolar estadual Educação Básica do estado Rio Grande Sul, sábios intelectuais indígenas kaingang. Igualmente, tenho intenção retomar discussão práticas próprias aprendizagem, etnografadas durante o...

Aiming to contribute drug pre-formulation, new eutectic mixtures were developed. Thymol, coumarin, or quaternary ammonium chlorides as excipients, combined with the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) acetylsalicylic acid, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, ketoprofen, lidocaine. Their solid-liquid equilibrium (SLE) binary phase diagrams measured study eventual separation between compounds, prevent...

Flood forecasts are essential to issue reliable flood warnings and to initiate flood control measures on time. The accuracy and the lead time of the predictions for head waters primarily depend on the meteorological forecasts. Ensemble forecasts are a means of framing the uncertainty of the potential future development of the hydro-meteorological situation. This contribution presents a flood ma...

This paper presents a conceptual framework for service modelling and refinement, called the COSMO (COnceptual Service MOdelling) framework. This framework provides concepts to model and reason about services, and to support operations, such as composition and discovery, which are performed on them at design and run-time. In particular, the framework should facilitate the use of different servic...

A conceptual design was developed for a cosmo-biology experiment. It is intended to expose simulated interstellar ice materials deposited on dust grains to the space environment. The experimental system consists of a cryogenic system to keep solidified gas sample, and an optical device to select and amplify the ultraviolet part of the solar light for irradiation. By this approach, the long last...

Estimating the sea ice drift field is of importance in both scientific study and activities polar ocean. Ice motion being tracked at large scale (10 km larger) on a daily basis; however, higher resolution product desirable for more reliable monitoring rapid changes ice. The use wide-swath SAR has been extensively studied; yet, recent high-resolution X-band sensors have not tested enough. We exa...
