People with grapheme-color synesthesia perceive enriched experiences of colors in response to graphemes (letters, digits). In this study, we examined whether these synesthetes show a generic associative memory advantage for stimuli that do not elicit a synesthetic color. We used a novel between group design (14 young synesthetes, 14 young, and 14 older adults) with a self-paced visual associati...

Medium-term load forecasting is a useful tool for the maintenance planning of grids and as a market research of electric energy. In this work medium-term load forecasting methods are developed, the most forgotten time scaling process in the load forecasting bibliography. These methods will be applied to the peninsular Spanish monthly energy consumption. Methods traditionally employed with this ...

Impact tests are mandatory for a wide range of structural steel products to evaluate the required service life and operational safety. This test is especially relevant used in operation climatic areas with cold climate, since it allows one determine temperature ductile-brittle transition. Depending on structural-phase state metal, type relationship impact toughness its displacement axis may dif...

Nowadays, electric load forecasting through a data analytic approach has become one of the most active and emerging research areas. It provides future consumption patterns load. Since there are large fluctuations in both electricity production use, it is difficult task to achieve balance between demand. By analyzing past records estimate upcoming load, issue fluctuating behavior can be resolved...

Objective: The objective is to obtain the stresses due to strip loading in orthotropic plate lying over an irregular isotropic elastic medium. Methods: Anti-plane strain problem with perfect bonding boundary conditions following by Fourier Transformation on the equilibrium equation are used to obtain the solution. The deformation field due to shear line load at any point of the medium consistin...
