In the present paper the first SUITED Demonstrator validation campaign results on the network performance and QoS are described. A brief synthesis of the SUITED Demonstrator architecture is depicted, highlighting the characteristics concerning the QoS methodologies stated in the Project and its practical implementation in the Demonstrator architecture. To reach this objective the validation cam...

The reuse process consists of several steps: • Design of reusable modules (Intellectual Properties, IPs): To ease the reuse of IPs design style guides should be considered already during this step. To check these style guides a code analyzer is needed. These analyzer should be adaptable to flow specific coding styles. The code analyzer will be used during the creation of IPs but also automatica...

The steadily increasing performance of mobile devices also implies a rise in power consumption. To counteract this trend it is mandatory to accomplish software power optimizations based on accurate power consumption models characterized for the processor. This paper presents an environment for automated instruction set characterization based on physical power measurements. Based on a detailed i...

There are a number of interesting problems that could be tackled if the computing capacity of current EIT systems can be improved. We examined the performance of two such systems and found that a noticeable portion of the compute time is spent in finding the solution of sparse matrices. We developed and used a new sparse matrix testbench, Meagre-Crowd, to evaluate a selection of these sparse ma...

In many practical engineering applications, a feed-forward control is often used to control the system with some parameterized signals, for example, a wet clutch system. Usually these signals are designed empirically. In this paper, firstly, genetic algorithm (GA) will be used to optimize parameters. Then by knowing the system response of the test bench in the frequency domain, GA will be used ...

The paper proposes a study of the phenomenology driving the ageing mechanisms of electrochemical double layer supercapacitors (SCs) during their most common operating conditions. In particular, the paper focuses on the so-called life endurance (LE) and power cycling (PC) stresses. The paper first provides a description of the variables governing the SC behaviour at the microscopic scale (i.e., ...

Individual pitch control (IPC) is gaining increasing acceptance as a method for mitigation of periodic disturbances in wind turbines. This paper aims at formulating a repetitive control (RC) methodology capable of adapting online to changing turbine dynamics. This is achieved by performing system identification in a reduced-dimensional space using basis functions and using the identified parame...

Terminesp is a multilingual terminological resource with terms from a range of specialized domains. Along with definitions, notes, scientific denominations and provenance information, it includes translations from Spanish into a variety of languages. A linked data resource with these features would represent a potentially relevant source of knowledge for NLP-based applications. In this contribu...

Jidovtseff, B, Harris, NK, Crielaard, J-M, and Cronin, JB. Using the load-velocity relationship for 1 RM prediction. J Strength Cond Res 24(x): 000-000, 2009-The purpose of this study was to investigate the ability of the load-velocity relationship to accurately predict a bench press 1 repetition maximum (1 RM). Data from 3 different bench press studies (n = 112) that incorporated both 1 RM ass...

In this study, we examined a scale-up to production of nickel perovskite catalyst, used in the conversion of natural gas to synthesis gas, using the sol-gel method in the laboratory and a bench-scale reactor. The required volume of solvent and catalyst activity in the methane-reforming reaction was determined from the optimum catalyst production conditions at the laboratory scale. This informat...
