The objective in this paperis to analyse the effect of a reduction in working time duration in a trade union model where Capital Operating Time occurs.

Alluvial channels undergo continuous morphological changes caused by relationships between entrained sediment, variable flows and movable boundaries. Excess changes that occur through sediment degradation and deposition, however, tend to threaten the stability of bridges, hydraulic control...

In this paper, the authors present an original control law for induction motor drive. It is based on a dynamic reconfiguration of a basic direct torque control (DTC) algorithm and a direct torque control algorithm associated to space vector modulation (SVM-DTC). The criterion of reconfiguration...

The numerical solution of 3D linear elasticity equations is considered. The problem is described by a coupled system of second-order elliptic partial differential equations. This system is discretized by trilinear parallelepipedal finite elements.

Google's PageRank is an influential algorithm that uses a model of Web use that is dominated by its link structure in order to rank pages by their estimated value to the Web community. This paper reports on the outcome of applying the algorithm to the Web sites of three national university...
