A practical guide to robust optimization
(Elsevier, 2015-06)
Robust optimization is a young and active research field that has been mainly developed in the last 15 years. Robust optimization is very useful for practice, since it is tailored to the information at hand, and it leads ...
Traveling waves in one-dimensional non-linear models of strain-limiting viscoelasticity
(Elsevier, 2015-12)
In this paper we investigate traveling wave solutions of a non-linear differential equation describing the behaviour of one-dimensional viscoelastic medium with implicit constitutive relations. We focus on a subclass of ...
Near-field thermal radiation transfer by mesoporous metamaterials
(The Optical Society, 2015-09-21)
In this work, we investigate the impact of nano-scale pores within structured metamaterials on spectral near-field radiative transfer. We use Finite Difference Time Domain Method (FDTD) and consider uniform and corrugated ...
Some remarks on the stability and instability properties of solitary waves for the double dispersion equation
(Estonian Academy of Sciences, 2015)
In this article we give a review of our recent results on the instability and stability properties of travelling wave solutions of the double dispersion equation utt − uxx + auxxxx − buxxtt = −(|u|p−1u)xx for p > 1, a ≥ b ...
Staged development of robot skills: behavior formation, affordance learning and imitation
(IEEE, 2015-06)
Inspired by infant development, we propose a three staged developmental framework for an anthropomorphic robot manipulator. In the first stage, the robot is initialized with a basic reach-and- enclose-on-contact movement ...
Unidirectional wave motion in a nonlocally and nonlinearly elastic medium: The KdV, BBM and CH equations
(Estonian Academy of Sciences, 2015)
We consider unidirectional wave propagation in a nonlocally and nonlinearly elastic medium whose constitutive equation is given by a convolution integral with a suitable kernel function. We first give a brief review of ...
Controlling germanium CMP selectivity through slurry mediation by surface active agents
(The Electrochemical Society, 2015-08-10)
New developments and device performance requirements in microelectronics industry add to the challenges in chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) process. One of the recently introduced materials to semiconductor manufacturing ...
Fusing inertial sensor data in an extended kalman filter for 3D camera tracking
(IEEE, 2015-02)
In a setup where camera measurements are used to estimate 3D egomotion in an extended Kalman filter (EKF) framework, it is well-known that inertial sensors (i.e., accelerometers and gyroscopes) are especially useful when ...
Search for lepton-flavour-violating decays of the Higgs boson
(Elsevier, 2015-10-07)
The first direct search for lepton-flavour-violating decays of the recently discovered Higgs boson (H) is described. The search is performed in the H→μτe and H→μτh channels, where τe and τh are tau leptons reconstructed ...
Performance evaluation of unfolded sparse matrix-vector multiplication
(2015-01)
Sparse matrix-vector multiplication (spMV) is a kernel operation in scientific com- putation. There exist problems where a matrix is repeatedly multiplied by many different vectors. For such problems, specializing the spMV ...
