Bounds on the number of markings consistent with label observations in petri nets
(2009)In this paper, we consider state estimation in discrete-event systems (DESs) modeled by labeled Petri nets and present upper bounds on the number of system states (or markings) that are consistent with an observed sequence ...

Breaking the walls: Scene partitioning and portal creation
(IEEE Computer Society, 2003)In this paper, we revisit the cells-and-portals visibility methods, originally developed for the special case of architectural interiors. We define an effectiveness measure for a cells-and-portals partitioning, and introduce ...

Effects of the consistency of the fringing magnetic field on direct numerical simulations of liquid-metal flow
(2011)We investigate the effects of the consistency of strong fringing decreasing magnetic fields on numerical simulations of classical experimental data. Studies about fringing magnetic fields have attracted the attention of ...

Energy efficient stream-based configurable architecture for embedded platforms
(2012)Reconfigurable hardware can be used as an energy and performance efficient co-processing solution to accelerate certain types of applications. To facilitate the design of hardware accelerators we have proposed a methodology ...

Experimental and computational investigation of the structural response adobe structures
(Πανεπιστήμιο Κύπρου, Πολυτεχνική Σχολή / University of Cyprus, Faculty of Engineering, 2014-01)Η παρούσα διατριβή εξετάζει τη συμπεριφορά υλικών και κατασκευών από ωμό πηλό μέσω ενδελεχούς πειραματικής και υπολογιστής έρευνας. Για τους σκοπούς της μελέτης, έγινε δειγματοληψία σημαντικού αριθμού ωμόπλινθων από διάφορους ...

An investigation of printed Franklin antennas at X-band using artificial (metamaterial) phase-shifting lines
(2008)Non-radiating artificial phase-shifting lines are constructed using conventional positive-refractive-index (PRI) transmission lines (TL) and the recently developed negative-refractive-index (NRI) transmission lines. The ...

Nonlinear modeling considerations on the seismic response of base-isolated buildings : 2D and 3D investigations of poundings
(Πανεπιστήμιο Κύπρου, Πολυτεχνική Σχολή / University of Cyprus, Faculty of Engineering, 2017-05)Η σεισμική μόνωση αποτελεί μια καινοτόμο μέθοδο αντισεισμικής προστασίας, μέσω της οποίας επιτυγχάνεται η μείωση των ζημιών τόσο στη φέρουσα κατασκευή όσο και στα μη-φέροντα στοιχεία, με την εισαγωγή οριζόντιας ευκαμψίας, ...

De novo drug design using multiobjective evolutionary graphs
(2009)Drug discovery and development is a complex, lengthy process, and failure of a candidate molecule can occur as a result of a combination of reasons, such as poor pharmacokinetics, lack of efficacy, or toxicity. Successful ...

Simplified method for rapid seismic assessment of older R.C. buildings
(2018)After several years of progress in earthquake design procedures, existing reinforced concrete buildings that fall short of modern standards still represent the vast majority of the built environment. Poorly reinforced ...

Spatial distribution of Winkler spring stiffness for rectangular mat foundation analysis
(2017)Structural design of mat foundations of buildings is often done by performing static analysis of a slab resting on vertical uncoupled Winkler springs. It is already well established that the simplifying assumption of a ...
