Nowadays, the material disassembly is an important issue for the industry. This paper presents an algorithm to sequence the task to be performed in the disassembly of a specific material from a product or to separate all the materials of…

The genus Bradyrhizobium encompasses a variety of bacteria that can live in symbiotic and endophytic associations with legumes and non-legumes, and are characterized by physiological and symbiotic versatility and broad geographical distribution. However, despite indications of great genetic variability within…

The analytical approximate technique developed by Wu et al for conservative oscillators with odd nonlinearity is used to construct approximate frequency-amplitude relations and periodic solutions to the dynamically shifted oscillator. This nonlinear oscillator is described by an equation of motion…

The book deals with the topic of Operating Systems from and intuitive perspective and then delves into more technical concepts, which makes it appropriate for a first introductory course on the matter.

An updated edition of the classic book on computer architecture by J. L. Hennessy and D. A. Patterson.
Authors show their high level standards for technological ideas, writing style, and teaching methodologies, all in one book. In fact, they maintain…

The use of evolutionary and swarm intelligence algorithms, has become a very popular option to solve complex real-world optimization problems. However, in their original versions, these algorithms lack a mechanism to handle the constraints of the problem i.e. they were…

An analytical approximate technique for conservative nonlinear oscillators is proposed. This method is a modification of the generalized harmonic balance method in which analytical approximate solutions have rational form. This approach gives us not only a truly periodic solution but…

The decreasing costs and increasing availability of electronic products of all kinds, including mobile phones, audio and video equipment, and personal computers and their accessories, coupled with advances in technology that rapidly make these products obsolete, foretell a growing disposal…

A wide kinetic study has been carried out under different conditions in TG and TG–MS for each material, at different operating conditions. Runs were carried out at three different atmospheres: N2, N2:O2 4:1 and N2:O2 9:1. In addition to the…
