A distributed algorithm for gathering many fat mobile robots in the plane
(2013)
We revisit the problem of gathering autonomous robots in the plane. In particular, we consider non-transparent unit-disc robots (i.e., fat) in an asynchronous setting with vision as the only means of coordination and robots ...
Measurement of the top-quark mass in all-hadronic decays in pp̄ collisions at CDF II
(2007)
We present a measurement of the top-quark mass Mtop in the all-hadronic decay channel tt̄→W+bW-b̄→q1q̄2bq3q̄4b̄. The analysis is performed using 310pb-1 of s=1.96TeV pp̄ collisions collected with the CDF II detector using ...
Risk modeling and analysis of interdependencies of critical infrastructures using colored timed petri nets
(2015)
Petri Nets (PNs) and their variations are a graphical, mathematical language that can be used for the specification, analysis and verification of discrete event systems, including Critical Infrastructures (CIs). Colored ...
Investigation of infrared absorption spectra of copper phosphate glasses containing some rare earth oxides
(1990)
The spectra of copper-lutetium-phosphate and copper-erbium-phosphate glasses have been studied within the spectral range 4000 to 400 cm- by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Incorporation of a small amount of lutetium ...
Protein secondary structure prediction with bidirectional recurrent neural nets: Can weight updating for each residue enhance performance?
(2010)
Successful protein secondary structure prediction is an important step towards modelling protein 3D structure, with several practical applications. Even though in the last four decades several PSSP algorithms have been ...
Training bidirectional recurrent neural network architectures with the scaled conjugate gradient algorithm
(2016)
Predictions on sequential data, when both the upstream and downstream information is important, is a difficult and challenging task. The Bidirectional Recurrent Neural Network (BRNN) architecture has been designed to deal ...
Understanding the synergistic catalytic effect between la2O 3 and CaO for the CH4 Lean De-NOx reaction: Kinetic and mechanistic studies
(2005)
Doping of La2O3 crystallites with Ca2+ ions significantly enhances the intrinsic rate of NO reduction by CH4 in the presence of 5% O2 at 550°C compared to pure La 2O3 and CaO solids, while the opposite is true after doping ...
Regeneration of thermally aged Pt-Rh/CexZr1-xO2-Al2O3 model three-way catalysts by oxychlorination treatments
(2006)
Pt-Rh/CexZr1-xO2-Al2O3 with 0.6 and 1.0 wt.% noble metal loadings were prepared and characterized for their metal dispersion with respect to CexZr1-xO2-free Pt-Rh/Al2O3 in fresh, thermally aged and oxychlorinated states. ...
Supporting increment and decrement operations in balancing networks
(1999)
Counting networks are a class of distributed data structures that support highly concurrent implementations of shared Fetch&Increment counters. Applications of these counters include shared pools and stacks, load balancing, ...
Effect of humic acid on the solid phase stability of UO2CO 3
(2009)
The stability of UO2CO3 has been studied as a function of the humic acid concentration in 0.1M NaClO4, in the weak acidic pH range (4.5-5) under CO2 atmosphere. The solid phase under investigation has been prepared by ...
