Elastic nanobeam modelled using peridynamics - length scale effects

The traditional multiscale approach couples two models operating at different scales. An alternative modelling strategy, called peridynamics originally developed by [1], is to continualize the molecular dynamic models, thus replacing inhomogeneities present on smaller length scales by an enhanced continuum description on larger length scales resulting in a nonlocal reformulation of continuum mecha

Quantum Photoelectrochemistry

Interactions between organic molecules and transition metal oxide surfaces have been investigated by means of quantum chemical calculations. The studies have been aimed at understanding electrode-adsorbate interactions in photoelectrochemical devices, such as dye-sensitized solar cells. Structural properties of the interface between metal oxide surfaces and organic adsorbates have been investigat

On the decoding bit error probability for binary convolutional codes

An explanation is given for the paradoxical fact that, at low signal-to-noise ratios, the systematic feedback encoder results in fewer decoding bit errors than does a nonsystematic feedforward encoder for the same code. The analysis identifies a new code property, the d-distance weight density of the code. For a given d-distance weight density, the decoding bit error probability depends on the num

Control strategies for predictable brownouts in cloud computing

Cloud computing is an application hosting model providing the illusion of infinite computing power. However, even the largest datacenters have finite computing capacity, thus cloud infrastructures have experienced overload due to overbooking or transient failures. The topic of this paper is the comparison of different control strategies to mitigate overload for datacenters, that assume that the r
