Heterogeneous photochemical reactions of decabromodiphenyl ether
(11/03/2009)
Brominated diphenyl ethers area major class of brominated flame retardants, with production of decabromodiphenyl ether (DBDPE) contributing significantly to this total. Although little is known about the mechanisms and ...
Lane Surface Identification Based on Reflectance using Laser Range Finder
(12/13/2014)
In striving to achieve autonomous navigation the problem of guidance is a major difficulty faced by fully autonomous vehicle. In this paper, the authors focus on unconventional methods of identifying lane markings on a ...
Optical router for optical fiber sensor networks based on a liquid crystal cell
(09/04/2003)
Optical fiber sensor networks are evolving rapidly. They are used because of the inert nature of optical fibers allowing no electromagnetic interference and safe applications in inflammable atmospheres; other relevant ...
Introduction to the Application of Phase Change Materials under Tropical Climate of Panama
(2019 7th International Engineering, Sciences and Technology Conference (IESTEC)2019 7th International Engineering, Sciences and Technology Conference (IESTEC), 2016-10-09)
Phase change materials (PCM) are materials with the ability to store a large amount of energy (latent heat) during their change from solid to a liquid phase. This takes place at a certain melting temperature. Amid the ...
SiC: An agent based architecture for preventing and detecting attacks to ubiquitous databases
(2009-07-01)
One of the main attacks to ubiquitous databases is the structure query language (SQL) injection attack, which causes severe damages both in the commercial aspect and in the user’s confidence. This chapter proposes the SiC ...
Improvements of Energy-Efficient Techniques in WSNs: A MAC-Protocol Approach
(IEEEIEEE, 10/12/2018)
The pervasiveness of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) across different applications keeps increasing due to their versatility, although energy consumption is a huge constraint for these types of networks. Therefore, it is ...
S-MAS: An adaptive hierarchical distributed multi-agent architecture for blocking malicious SOAP messages within Web Services environments
(05/01/2011)
During the last years the use of Web Service-based applications has notably increased. However, the security has not evolved proportionally, which makes these applications vulnerable and objective of attacks. One of the ...
Improving the security level of the FUSION@ multi-agent architecture
(06/06/2012)
The use of architectures based on services and multi-agent systems has become an increasingly important part of the solution set used for the development of distributed systems. Nevertheless, these models pose a variety ...
Synthesis of optical filters using microring resonators with ultra-large FSR
(12/06/2010)
We propose a novel synthesis method for designing flexible, tunable non-periodic filters. It is based on a building block which is presented by first time for these purposes, being the poles position tuned by means of a ...
Modelling the degradation process of lithium-ion batteries when operating at erratic state-of-charge swing ranges
(2017 4th International Conference on Control, Decision and Information Technologies (CoDIT)2017 4th International Conference on Control, Decision and Information Technologies (CoDIT), 11/09/2017)
Manufacturers of lithium-ion batteries inform capacity degradation for regular, symmetrical charge/discharge cycles, which is clearly problematic in real life applications where charge/discharge cycles are hardly regular. ...
