The topic of this research is about the exploration of the actual colour scenario, from an Italian perspective analysis to an international one, with the aim to understand the characteristics and the needs of a complex system of disciplines and…

The prey-predator pursuit problem is referenced many times in literature. It is a generic multi-agent problem whose solutions could by applied to many particular instances. Solutions proposed usually apply non-supervised learning algorithms to train prey and predators. Most of these…

In this survey, we have focussed our attention on the first part of the novel David Copperfield and analyzed how the child hero's natural dispositions are crushed by faulty training. Through his early schooling and youthful experiences, David gains a…

The aim of this paper is to show the application of moodle software to help the knowledge of graphic representation of valves with an online application. This online application has being used in a specific subject of the University of…

MACSimJX provides the means for advanced modelling and development of multiagent driven control systems. This is achieved by drawing together two modelling tools used extensively in their respective communities. These are Simulink, a tool used for control systems development and…

Design and optimization of distillation columns for ethanol dehydration, using a hydrocarbon as entrainer, implies a good knowledge of vapor-liquid (VLE), liquid-liquid (LLE) and vapor-liquid-liquid equilibrium (VLLE). Chemical process simulation programs always require the use of a thermodynamic model that…

The Millennium Development Goals (MDG) progress targets have not been met. Nevertheless, the United Nations (UN) has not yet undertaken in-depth review in order to discover the reasons behind this lack of progress in achieving the MDG. From a political…

In big companies, managerial activities and organizational boundaries will over time hide most unevenly developed skill and knowledge distribution patterns; studying the organizations with the means of modern applied physics is thus quite difficult. People are forced to communicate along…

In this paper a cross-disciplinary study of the use of epistemic markers as hedging rhetorical strategies in research articles in English is carried out. Based on computer readable data, and combining quantitative and
qualitative methods, the article argues that the…

The chemical effects of acoustic cavitation are obtained in sono-reactors built-up from a vessel and an ultrasonic
source. In this paper, simulations of an existing sono-reactor are carried out, using a linear acoustics model, accounting
for the vibrations of the…
