Quality spatial load forecasting is a major prerequisite for energy distribution systems planning. The load evolution outline depends on the urban expansion and its land usage. This paper presents a methodology for knowledge extraction of the data provided by a GIS (Geographical Information Systems) platform. The main goal consists of developing studies that lead to the understanding of the inf...

Postnatal cardiac hypertrophies have traditionally been classified into physiological or pathological hypertrophies. Both of them are induced by hemodynamic load. Cardiac postnatal hypertrophic growth is regarded as a part of the cardiac maturation process that is independent of the cardiac working load. However, the functional significance of this biological event has not been determined, main...

At present there is limited understanding of the host immune response to (low pathogenic) avian influenza virus infections in poultry. Here we develop a mathematical model for the innate immune response to avian influenza virus in chicken lung, describing the dynamics of viral load, interferon-α, -β and -γ, lung (i.e. pulmonary) cells and Natural Killer cells. We use recent results from experim...

This article discusses the peculiarities of self-organization behavior and formation of dissipative structures during friction of antifriction alloys for slide bearings against a steel counterbody. It shows that during self-organization, the moment of friction in a tribosystem may be decreasing with the load growth and in the bifurcations of the coefficient of friction with respect to load. Sel...

Due to the exponential growth in worldwide information, companies have to deal with an ever growing amount of digital information. So the huge size of data and computation volume of new processing applications such as data mining, leads to new high performance parallel processing systems. One of the most important challenges of such application is quickly and correctly finding the relationship ...

To elucidate the nature of load sharing in the growth of multiple biopolymers, we perform stochastic simulations of the growth of biopolymer bundles against obstacles under a broad range of conditions and varying assumptions. The obstacle motion due to thermal fluctuations is treated explicitly. We assume the "Perfect Brownian Ratchet" (PBR) model, in which the polymerization rate equals the fr...
