The experimental wave paddle signal is unknown to the numerical modellers in many cases. This makes it quite challenging to numerically reproduce the time history of free surface elevation for irregular waves. In the present ...

Trust is important in terms of achieving economic efficiency, as it reduces the need for costly systems of supervision and control with regards to transactions in a society. Employing data from the World Values Survey and ...

Typical applications of integrated photonics in the mid-infrared (MIR) are different from near-infrared (telecom) range and, in many instances, they involve chemical sensing through MIR spectroscopy. Such applications ...

State-of-the-art, open access numerical modeling of imperfectly competitive energy markets offers a sound and transparent way to address topical research questions in energy and commodity markets. We use an open access ...

This study is focused on the lives of street youth in urban Brazil through an interdisciplinary and cross-historical approach, providing a conceptual analysis of three different but interconnected sources of knowledge: A ...

Exploiting memory level parallelism (MLP) is crucial to hide long memory and last level cache access latencies. While out-of-order (OoO) cores, and techniques building on them, are effective at exploiting MLP, they deliver ...

The thermal expansion match between concrete and steel is lost when freezing occurs, owing to enhanced shrinkage caused by cryosuction in the pore solution and the high coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of ice. Freezing ...
