Considerations of robustness for structural bridge systems subject to accidental circumstances are discussed in this paper. An overview of the framework for the assessment of structural robustness is given highlighting the various features vital to its implementation. The application of probabilistic risk based methodology for the investigation of system effects from rare exposure events is consid
From a practical point of view, template decomposition is an important issue since image processing operations can be non−local while the cells in physical CNN realizations often only communicate with cells in their direct neighborhood. In this paper the existing relation between Mathematical Morphology and CNNs is used to derive an optimal template decomposition strategy for a specific class of t
This paper deals with unequal error protection for code symbols of convo-lutional codes. The unequal error protection can be achieved due to different distanceproperties of output sequences and is sometimes described in terms of the correspondingeffective free distances. However, in many situations the effective free distance does notprovide enough information on the error-correcting capability. W
Most people agree that the total ecological impact of society has become more than this planet can endure. This is because we consume our resources (such as oil and water) faster than they can regenerate and because we release more substances into the environment than can be assimilated (e.g. CO2). In other words: our society is not sustainable on a long term basis. Biocatalysis is being promoted
