The paper contains a proposal for an energy and time representation. We construct modes that correspond to fuzzy distributions around discrete values of energy or time. The modes form an orthogonal and complete set in the space of square integrable functions. Energy and time are self adjoint in the space spanned by the modes. The widths of the modes are analyzed as well as their energy-time unc...

This work presents an alternative MILP mathematical formulation for the shortterm scheduling of pipeless batch plants based on a continuous-time representation that relies on the general precedence notion. Besides of the intrinsic characteristics of a pipeless plant, this model considers the moveable vessels as an additional resource that has to be allocated and sequenced. This fact allows prop...

Today, infinite possibilities exist to map different information’s dimensions. However, it is necessary to reflect on new map shape possibilities with geovisualization process. This research focuses on the time representation that appears, when observing maps on the Internet, as a dimension with a high development potential. Our goal is to develop a geovisualization method of different objects ...

We compute the influence of boundary conditions on the Euler-Heisenberg effective Lagrangian scalar QED scalar for the case of a pure magnetic field. The boundary conditions constrain the quantum scalar field to vanish on two parallel planes separeted by a distance a and the magnetic field is assumed to be constant, uniform and perpendicular to the planes. The effective Lagrangian is obtained u...

This paper presents a unified locating service, KULOCS, which horizontally integrates the existing heterogeneous locating services. Focusing on technology-independent elements [when], [where] and [who] in querying locations of objects, KULOCS integrates data and operations of the existing services. In the data integration, we propose a method where the time representation, the locations, the na...

Software-implemented approaches to fault tolerance are very resilient to change since evolution in hardware technology does not require extensive re-design of specialized hardware. This paper argues the case for implementing fault tolerance in a distributed fashion and reports the approach adopted in the European Delta-4 project. Fault tolerance is achieved by replicating capsules (the run-time...

A computational model of the peripheral auditory system is used to explain the paradoxical observation that discriminating between broadband noise sounds with and without high-frequency spectral notches is more difficult at mid-intensities than at lower or higher intensities [A. Alves-Pinto, E.A. Lopez-Poveda, Detection of high-frequency spectral notches as a function of level, J. Acoust. Soc. ...

This work seeks virtual constraints, or outputs, that are intrinsic to human walking and utilises these outputs to construct controllers which produce human-like bipedal robotic walking. Beginning with experimental human walking data, human outputs are sought, i.e., functions of the kinematics of the human over time, which provides a low-dimensional representation of human walking. It will be s...
