We present a residual based artificial viscosity finite element method to solve conservation laws. The Galerkin approximation is stabilized by only residual based artificial viscosity, without any least-squares, SUPG, or streamline diffusion terms. We prove convergence of the method, applied to a scalar conservation law in two space dimensions, toward an unique entropy solution for implicit tim...

We describe a novel Internet-based method for building consensus and clarifying conflicts in large stakeholder groups facing complex issues, and we use the method to survey and map the scientific and organizational perspectives of the artificial life community during the Seventh International Conference on Artificial Life (summer 2000). The issues addressed in this survey included artificial li...

This paper proposes a method for detecting and recognizing partial discharges in high-voltage (HV) equipment. The aim is to address issues commonly found traditional systems, including complex operations, high computational demands, significant power consumption, elevated costs. Various types of were investigated an HV laboratory environment. Discharge data collected using high-frequency curren...
