We consider a production-inventory system that consists of an input-generating installation, a production unit and L intermediate buffers. It is assumed that the installation transfers the raw material j ∈ {1, . . . , L} to buffer Bj, and the production unit pulls the rawmaterial j ∈ {1, ..., L} from buffer Bj. We consider the problem of the optimal preventive maintenance of the installation if...

In children under the age of five, the majority of unintentional injuries occur in the home, with higher levels of injury morbidity and mortality being found among those from more deprived backgrounds. This paper presents the findings of a systematic review about the effectiveness of programmes in decreasing unintentional injury rates to children (aged up to 15 years) in the home. The effective...

-This paper starts from an experimental interactive musical installation designed at IRCAM: “LISTEN LISBOA”. This installation relies on a perceptual paradox: spectators are walking into a real space, see this space and at the same time hears through headphones a virtual sound space, mapped to the real one. In the first part of this paper we present this installation and more precisely the inte...

This paper presents a collaborative project revolving around the conception, the realisation, and the qualitative evaluation of the interactive sound installation zwischenräume. In the installation interaction is considered in a particular way, in that both the installation and the visitor are regarded as being part of an evolving dynamical system. First, we will frame the addressed question in...
