Energy consumption feedback devices' impact evaluation on domestic energy use
(Elsevier Ltd, 2013)Household energy accounts for one of the major contributors to the countries energy balances. It has been shown, that an effective way to achieve energy saving in that sector, is by providing consumers with information and ... -
Location of FACTS Devices in Power Systems: Application to the IEEE 9 bus System
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019)This paper proposes a methodology to find the location of a flexible transmission system in AC in a power system, based on a nodal order and the analysis of repetitive power flows. To check the proposed methodology, the ... -
A static axisymmetric exact solution of f(R)-gravity
(2013)We present an exact, axially symmetric, static, vacuum solution for f(R)-gravity in Weyl's canonical coordinates. We obtain a general explicit expression for the dependence of df(R)/dR upon the r and z coordinates and then ... -
Extension of the B3LYP-dispersion-correcting potential approach to the accurate treatment of both inter-and intra-molecular interactions
(2013)We recently demonstrated that dispersion-correcting potentials (DCPs), which are atom-centered Gaussian-type functions that were developed for use with B3LYP (Torres and DiLabio in J Phys Chem Lett 3:1738-1744, 2012), ... -
Modeling and control of a small hydro-power plant for a DC microgrid
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)This paper presents the modeling and control of a small hydro-power plant (SHP) for a DC microgrid based on passivity theory. The SHP is made up of a turbine, a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG), a voltage ... -
Women's perceived risk of sexual harassment in a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system: The case of Barranquilla, Colombia
(Elsevier Ltd, 2019)Background: Sexual harassment in public transportation is a growing concern, particularly among women. Over the years, there have been several programs and policies to mitigate sexual harassment while using public transport. ... -
Density-functional theory with dispersion-correcting potentials for methane: Bridging the efficiency and accuracy gap between high-level wave function and classical molecular mechanics methods
(2013)Large clusters of noncovalently bonded molecules can only be efficiently modeled by classical mechanics simulations. One prominent challenge associated with this approach is obtaining force-field parameters that accurately ... -
Leveraging speculative architectures for runtime program validation
(2013)Program execution can be tampered with by malicious attackers through exploiting software vulnerabilities. Changing the program behavior by compromising control data and decision data has become the most serious threat in ... -
Blind restoration of retinal images degraded by space-variant blur with adaptive blur estimation
(2013)Retinal images are often degraded with a blur that varies across the gield view. Because traditional deblurring algorithms assume the blur to be space-invariant they typically fail in the presence of space-variant blur. ... -
Academic evaluation protocol for monitoring modalities of use at an Automatic Control Laboratory: Local vs. remote
(2013)This article describes an Academic Evaluation Protocol (AEP) designed and implemented in order to monitor various modalities of using an Automatic Control Laboratory by analyzing the quality of work that can be obtained ... -
Differential diagnosis of hemorrhagic fevers using ARTMAP and an Artificial Immune System
(2013)The differential diagnosis of endemic hemorrhagic fevers in tropical countries is by no means an easy task for medical practitioners. Several diseases often overlap with others in terms of signs and symptoms, thus making ... -
Restoration of retinal images with space-variant blur
(2014)Retinal images are essential clinical resources for the diagnosis of retinopathy and many other ocular diseases. Because of improper acquisition conditions or inherent optical aberrations in the eye, the images are often ... -
Direct power control for VSC-HVDC systems: An application of the global tracking passivity-based PI approach
(Elsevier Ltd, 2019)This paper proposes a direct power control (DPC) for a high-voltage direct-current system using voltage source converters (VSC-HVDC) by applying passivity-based control theory. This system allows doing an efficient and ... -
Virtual lab in Modelica of a cement clinker cooler for operator training
(2014)Plant operator training plays a fundamental role in improving the energy efficiency of the cement manufacturing process and in reducing the CO2 emission. A virtual lab of a clinker grate cooler, intended for the training ... -
Hybrid choice model for alternative fuelled vehicles [Modelación híbrida para la elección de vehículos con energías alternativas]
(Interciencia Association, 2014)The promotion of alternative fuelled vehicles for the reduction of atmospheric emissions is a highly discussed topic nowadays. It requires evaluating the potential demand and people's preferences for vehicles using these ... -
Exact relativistic models of thin disks around static black holes in a magnetic field
(2014)The exact superposition of a central static black hole with surrounding thin disk in presence of a magnetic field is investigated. We consider two models of disk, one of infinite extension based on a Kuzmin-Chazy-Curzon ... -
Effect of deficit irrigation on yield, quality, and costs of the production of native spearmint
(American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2014)Water-saving strategies aimed at improving water use efficiency need to be applied in agriculture today to ensure sustainable use of scarce water resources. This article presents results of a 2-year study done at Washington ... -
Through-glass interposer integrated high quality RF components
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2014)High quality and compact RF devices, using the half mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) architecture loaded with a complementary split ring resonator (CSRR), are implemented on a glass interposer layer, which ... -
Fabrication of carbon nanofibrous microelectrode array (CNF-MEA) using nanofiber immersion photolithography
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2014)Microelectrode arrays (MEAs) are widely used for stimulating and receiving electrical signals between human and machines and for in vitro neural study. This work demonstrates the fabrication process of nanofibrous 3D ... -
Programmable diffractive lens for ophthalmic application
(SPIE, 2014)Pixelated liquid crystal displays have been widely used as spatial light modulators to implement programmable diffractive optical elements, particularly diffractive lenses. Many different applications of such components ...
