Structured Decomposition of Adaptive Applications [PDF]
2008 Sixth Annual IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom), 2008 We describe an approach to automate certain high- level implementation decisions in a pervasive application, allowing them to be postponed until run time. Our system enables a model in which an application programmer can specify the behavior of an adaptive application as a set of open-ended decision points.

Composites Part C: Open Access, 2022 Delaminations are a concern for the structural integrity of fibre composite structures. The decisive material parameter for delaminations is fracture toughness. Structures usually have a multidirectional ply stacking.

Adaptive Regularization With the Structure Tensor [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, 2015 Natural images exhibit geometric structures that are informative of the properties of the underlying scene. Modern image processing algorithms respect such characteristics by employing regularizers that capture the statistics of natural images. For instance, total variation (TV) respects the highly kurtotic distribution of the pointwise gradient by ...

Adaptive Dynamics with Interaction Structure [PDF]
The American Naturalist, 2013 Evolutionary dynamics depend critically on a population's interaction structure-the pattern of which individuals interact with which others, depending on the state of the population and the environment. Previous research has shown, for example, that cooperative behaviors disfavored in well-mixed populations can be favored when interactions occur only ...

Integrated Shock Absorber With Both Tunable Inertance and Damping
Frontiers in Materials, 2020 Inerter is a two-terminal mass element, and the applied force is proportional to the relative acceleration between the terminals. According to the second class of mechanical–electrical analogy, the inerter corresponds exactly to the capacitor in the ...

Manufacturing and Testing of a Variable Chord Extension for Helicopter Rotor Blades
Actuators, 2022 Helicopters are still an indispensable addition to aviation in this day and age. They are characterized by their ability to master both forward flight and hover. These characteristics result in a wide range of possible operations.
