Core backbone networks must be designed to guarantee high levels of availability. Any interruption in the services that they provide may have massive consequences. For this reason there is a huge interest in developing methods able to keep the network robustness in the desired level. For the design of these methods are used models that need input information such as the operational state of network...
We present a service model that allows terminals to extend their capabilities by delivering services to intelligent infrastructures, as well as an extension that includes an invitation model to allow shared services and a basic security model.
Nanoantennas are sensitive to polarisation and have been used as optical detectors; these characteristics make them ideal for polarisation division multiplexing. In this reported work, a dipole nanoantenna was fabricated using electron-beam lithography; experimental results show good polarisation discrimination to two orthogonal linear polarisations for this nanoantenna. Also bowtie and dipole nanoantennas...
Optical switching fabrics are gaining interest as in multi Terabit switching devices; the advantages over their electronic equivalents are mainly their information density and power consumption. Arrayed Waveguide Gratings (AWGs) are promising optical devices proposed by the academic and industrial community to build optical switching fabrics. Because of their wavelength routing property, AWGs allow...
We present a new computational method for predicting ligand binding sites in protein sequences. The method uses kernelbased canonical correlation analysis and linear regression to identify binding sites in protein sequences as the residues that exhibit strong correlation between the residues' evolutionary characterization at the sites and the structure based functional classification of the proteins...
Currently, several smart grid efforts in US and Europe are gaining momentum. Even if there are different focuses in US and Europe on what is known as the smart grid, all agree on the fact, that standardization is a key issue. Hence, a lot of studies and roadmaps pick standardization in the context of smart grids out as a central theme. The various approaches are concentrating on different core areas,...
This paper presents a control strategy for industrial robot manipulators which consists of the combination of a calibration-free, vision-based control method with an impedance control approach. The vision-based, robot control method known as camera-space manipulation is used to generate a given trajectory over an arbitrary surface. Then, a kinematic posture-based impedance controller is implemented...
In this paper we propose a method to obtain the water sunlight extinction by using commercial photodiodes whose sensitive band is not monochromatic. This procedure is based on the use of absorbance data provided by various authors for each wavelength and their weightings for spectral sensitivity of each photodiode. The ultimate goal is to be able to use this type of photodiodes in the “in situ” extinction...
In this work is presented a new robust unwrapping-free phase correlation method, for retrieving the coseismic displacement field and the surface rupture fault-trace mapping using optical data. Phase-corr method does not need phase unwrapping and has been proved to be robust under a wide variety of circumstances. The method has been applied at two different test cases, Izmit (Turkey) and Kashmir (Pakistan)...
