Novel nanocrystalline cores for EMI suppression in cables: characterization methodology and performance study
2021
El control de las interferencias electromagnéticas (EMI) en dispositivos electrónicos es un problema cada vez mayor al que se enfrentan los diseñadores para garantizar que los dispositivos cumplan con los requisitos de compatibilidad electromagnética (EMC) para operar simultáneamente sin inferir entre sí. Este hecho se debe a la tendencia hacia una mayor integración de componentes, la reducción del tamaño y grosor de las placas de circuito impreso (PCB) y la miniaturización de las carcasas de los dispositivos. Además, otros factores como el empleo de frecuencias de conmutación más altas en los convertidores de potencia y las velocidades de datos de comunicación en los circuitos digitales. C…

Optimization of Delayed-State Kalman-Filter-based Algorithm via Differential Evolution for Sensorless Control of Induction Motors
2010
This paper proposes the employment of the differential evolution (DE) to offline optimize the covariance matrices of a new reduced delayed-state Kalman-filter (DSKF)-based algorithm which estimates the stator-flux linkage components, in the stationary reference frame, to realize sensorless control of induction motors (IMs). The DSKF-based algorithm uses the derivatives of the stator-flux components as mathematical model and the stator-voltage equations as observation model so that only a vector of four variables has to be offline optimized. Numerical results, carried out using a low-speed training test, show that the proposed DE-based approach is very promising and clearly outperforms a cla…
Influence of bed roughness on flow and turbulence structure around a partially-buried, isolated freshwater mussel
2023
The present study uses eddy-resolving numerical simulations to investigate how bed roughness affects flow and turbulence structure around an isolated, partially-buried mussel (Unio elongatulus) aligned with the incoming flow. The rough-bed simulations resolve the flow past the exposed part of a gravel bed, whose surface is obtained from a laboratory experiment that also provides some additional data for validation of the numerical model. Results are also discussed for the limiting case of a horizontal smooth bed. Additionally, the effects of varying the level of burial of the mussel inside the substrate and the discharge through the two mussel siphons are investigated via a set of simulatio…
Directionlets: Anisotropic Multidirectional representation with separable filtering
2006
In spite of the success of the standard wavelet transform (WT) in image processing in recent years, the efficiency of its representation is limited by the spatial isotropy of its basis functions built in the horizontal and vertical directions. One-dimensional (1-D) discontinuities in images (edges and contours) that are very important elements in visual perception, intersect too many wavelet basis functions and lead to a nonsparse representation. To efficiently capture these anisotropic geometrical structures characterized by many more than the horizontal and vertical directions, a more complex multidirectional (M-DIR) and anisotropic transform is required. We present a new lattice-based pe…
High-frequency filtering for low-temperature thermal transport studies in nanostructures
2012
Filtering of external unwanted RF-noise and thermal noise generated at the high-temperature parts of the measuring circuit is essential for successful measurements of thermal transport of nanostructures at low temperatures. This is because of thermal decoupling of the systems, i.e. the extreme weakness of thermal conduction at sub-Kelvin temperatures, leading easily to overheating even with excess power in sub pW range. We have started to improve the noise filtering in our cryogenic dilution refrigerators, which can reach a base temperature of ~ 50 mK. The miniature low-pass filters were made from special RF sealing compound Eccosorb CR124, stainless steel powder of grain size 50 micrometer…
Restoration and Enhancement of Historical Stereo Photos
2021
Restoration of digital visual media acquired from repositories of historical photographic and cinematographic material is of key importance for the preservation, study and transmission of the legacy of past cultures to the coming generations. In this paper, a fully automatic approach to the digital restoration of historical stereo photographs is proposed, referred to as Stacked Median Restoration plus (SMR+). The approach exploits the content redundancy in stereo pairs for detecting and fixing scratches, dust, dirt spots and many other defects in the original images, as well as improving contrast and illumination. This is done by estimating the optical flow between the images, and using it …
A recommendation system for the prediction of drug-target associations
2022
In this chapter a recommendation system is presented, based on the integration of a Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) network taken from the Intact database, and a set of associations between drugs and targets taken from the DrugBank database. Depending on how proteins are connected on the PPI network, given an input drug the system suggests new targets. The framework adopted for the implementation is Apache Spark, useful for loading, managing and manipulating data by means of appropriate Resilient Distributed Datasets (RDD), and for the use of the Alternating Least Square (ALS) machine learning algorithm, a Matrix Factorization algorithm for distributed and parallel computing.Finally, an a…
Data from: Temperature-associated habitat selection in a cold-water marine fish
2016
Habitat selection is a complex process, which involves behavioural decisions guided by the multiple needs and constraints faced by individuals. Climate-induced changes in environmental conditions may alter those trade-offs and resulting habitat use patterns. In this study we investigated the effect of sea temperature on habitat selection and habitat use of acoustically tagged Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) at the Norwegian Skagerrak coast. Significant relationships between ocean temperature and habitat selection and use were found. Under favourable sea temperature thresholds (< 16°C), cod selected vegetated habitats, such as eelgrass and macroalgae beds, available in shallow areas. Selectio…
