Additives: Their Influence on the Humidity- and Pressure-Induced Crystallization of Amorphous CaCO3

Camelia Borca, Alan Böhlen, Huachuan Du, Esther Amstad, Mathias Steinacher, Clémence Courrégelongue

Nature possesses a unique control over the formation of CaCO3 crystals that imparts fascinating mechanical properties to many CaCO3-based biomaterials. This high level of control is, at least in part, achieved through the use of certain soluble additives t ...

Atomic scale symmetry and polar nanoclusters in the paraelectric phase of ferroelectric materials

Dragan Damjanovic, Emad Oveisi, Sina Hashemi Zadeh, Takuya Hoshina

The nature of the "forbidden" local- and long-range polar order in nominally nonpolar paraelectric phases of ferroelectric materials has been an open question since the discovery of ferroelectricity in oxide perovskites (ABO3). A currently considered model ...

Fuzzy Control System for Autonomous Navigation and Parking of Thymio II Mobile Robots

Francesco Mondada

This paper proposed a fuzzy controller for the autonomous navigation problem of robotic systems in a dynamic and uncertain environment. In particular, we are interested in determining the robot motion to reach the target while ensuring their own safety and ...

Exploring the Nature of "Trader Intuition"

Experimental evidence has consistently confirmed the ability of uninformed traders, even novices, to infer information from the trading process. After contrasting brain activation in subjects watching markets with and without insiders, we hypothesize that ...

Fuzzy Trust Aggregation And Personalized Trust Inference In Virtual Social Networks

Mohsen Lesani

Virtual marketplaces on the Web provide people with great facilities to buy and sell goods similar to conventional markets. In traditional business, reputation is subjectively built for known persons and companies as the deals are made in the course of tim ...

A fuzzy approach for the evaluation of competences

Rémy Glardon, Grégoire Pepiot, Naoufel Cheikhrouhou

Maintaining and developing competitive advantages in a constantly changing market require the creation and exploitation of a network of adequate competences. Competence management necessitates both clean formalization and evaluation of the pertinence of co ...

Fractional Collections with Cardinality Bounds, and Mixed Integer Linear Arithmetic with Stars

Viktor Kuncak, Ruzica Piskac

We present decision procedures for logical constraints that support reasoning about collections of elements such as sets, multisets, and fuzzy sets. Element membership in such collections is given by a characteristic function from a finite universe (of unk ...

Modelling the impact of flooding stress on the growth performance of woody species using fuzzy logic

Rodolphe Schlaepfer

Among the driving processes responsible for riparian forest dynamics the species-specific impact of flooding on the development of woody plants plays a key role-particularly for lowland rivers. Only a few of the forest succession models currently in use in ...

Recent knowledge and innovations related to hexofuranosides: structure, synthesis and applications

Ronan Euzen

Hexofuranosides are widely spread in nature, and notably in numerous pathogenic microorganisms. This particular five-membered ring for hexosides leads to novel biological properties and, as usual in glycochemistry, to completely different reactivity and se ...

Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system in modelling fatigue life of multidirectional composite laminates

Anastasios Vassilopoulos

Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) has been successfully used for the modelling of fatigue behaviour of a multidirectional composite laminate. The evaluation of the neuro-fuzzy model has been performed using a data base containing 257 valid fati ...

A new fuzzy multicriteria decision aid method for conceptual design

Razvan Alexandru Gheorghe

Product end-of-life treatment is unavoidable, no matter how well the product is designed. European regulations becoming stringent regarding the disposal of products, emphasis on end-of-life (EOL) issues at the conceptual design stage gained in importance. ...
