The production process in an integrated steel mill produces gases, which can typically be used as fuel by the plant itself, and to generate steam and electricity in thermal power plants. A rational way to manage the use of these gases is through mixed integer linear programming (MILP). This article addresses the sensitivity analysis of the objective function with respect to the penalties associated...
This paper proposes see how the new technologies related to the concept of smart grids can influence on the current technological model of power transmission infrastructure in NAFTA. The comparative analysis of energy integration and smart grid technologies applied in bloc countries show that: for over four decades began on robust initiatives for cross-border electricity interconnection in North America,...
Current and future high energy physics particle colliders are capable to provide instantaneous luminosities of 1034 cm−2 s−1 and above. The high center of mass energy, the large number of simultaneous collision of beam particles in the experiments and the very high repetition rates of the collision events pose huge challenges. They result in extremely high particle fluxes, causing very high occupancies...
ATAM is a widely known software architecture analysis method based on trade-offs of design decisions for coping with quality attribute requirements. Practically, all reported cases of applying ATAM refer mainly to software-intensive systems. However, there is a series of software systems for which fulfilling their requirements strongly depends on hardware-related decisions. As ATAM provides no special...
The Internet and Web technology is advancing at a frantic pace, expanding into almost every aspect of our everyday life. One of the latest scientific activities for the Internet and the Web is the so-called pervasive or ubiquitous computing where networking plays a vital role in its core computational framework. In this, people are able to use the Internet and Web to manage the operation of embedded...
The REMO I is a remotely teleoperated underwater vehicle developed for measuring and observing maritime environments as its mandatory task. This robot has been built based on a parallel structure (Stewart-Gough platform), with the capability of changing its geometry in order to facilitate the navigation within complex maneuvers. In addition, both orientation and propulsion systems can change in order...
This paper presents a brief description of a novel underwater robot prototype, based on a parallel-serial structure. The underwater robot is composed of two subsystems: navigation and manipulation systems. This paper is focused on the first system: manipulation, aiming to introduce some advances related to it. Several systems characteristics rely on the capability of reflecting the environment interaction...
This work is focused on obtaining efficient human hand models that are suitable for manipulation tasks. A 24 DoF kinematic model of the human hand is defined to realistic movements. This model is based on the human skeleton. Dynamic and static constraints have been included in order to improve the movement realism. Two simplified hand models with 9 and 6 DoF have been developed according to the constraints...
