A range of silicone rubbers were created based on existing commercially available materials. These silicones were designed to be visually different from one another and have distinct material properties, in particular, ...

We have investigated the magnetic properties of electroplated nickel nanowires with very distinct nanostructures, which are obtained by simply changing the plating temperature of the electrolyte. Low temperature (40°C) ...
In the recent years, there has been an increasing demand for high quality multimedia services over wireless networks. Triple play services (voice, data and video) require data-rates of the order of several megabits per ...
Pervasive systems present the need to interpret large quantities of data from many sources. Context models support developers working with such data by providing a shared representation of the environment on which to base ...
This paper addresses the challenge of multi-policy optimization
in decentralized autonomic systems. We evaluate several
multi-policy reinforcement learning-based optimization
techniques in an urban tra c control simulation, ...
Several authors have proposed information
seeking as an appropriate perspective for studying
software evolution, and have characterized
information seeking empirically in commercial
software evolution settings. However, ...
The motion of overdamped particles in a one-dimensional spatially-periodic potential is considered. The potential is also randomly-fluctuating in time, due to multiplicative colored noise terms, and has a deterministic ...
NASA exploration missions increasingly rely on the concepts of autonomic computing, exploiting these to increase the survivability of remote missions, particularly when human tending is not feasible. This paper presents ...

Transport and diffusion of particles on modulated surfaces is a nonequilibrium problem which is receiving a great deal of attention due to its technological applications, but analytical calculations are scarce. In earlier ...
