...practitioners and researchers agree that when developing software, process affects product, and the usefulness of a process depends on the context. However, which processes are most useful for a specific company or project is generally unknown. When studying the relation between context, process and product...

...addressed in the literature. Here, laboratory data with an overburden shale core are presented, showing stress path dependent changes in P-wave velocity and pore pressure. The expected impact on 4D seismic can be significant....

...discretization. Although this approach provides adequate accuracy in many practical cases, two-point discretizations are only consistent for K-orthogonal grids and may introduce significant discretization errors for grids that severely depart from being K-orthogonal. Such grid-distortion errors can be avoided by...

This paper provides an overview on facts and trends towards the introduction of connected electric vehicle (EV) and discusses how and to what extent electric mobility will be integrated into the Internet of Energy (IoE) and Smart grid infrastructure to provide novel energy management solutions. In this...

...for semiconductor and solar cell applications. This paper explores the use of mathematical modeling as an aid in estimation of system state variables in the standard Czochralski process. A state-space model of the process is presented, describing the dynamics of the crystal radius and meniscus height with...

If your business has a fixed yearly investment budget and you know that it is likely that your 300 projects will be delayed during the year, what is your strategy to meet your budget? This is a descriptive study on portfolio management across a multi-billion dollar business with more than 300 projects...

The application of aerogel in the building and construction sector is very promising; therefore, its durability should be properly addressed. This study focuses on the aging effect of aerogel granules, emphasizing two aging factors, moisture and solar radiation. Experimental results show that aerogel...

Hermeticity and reliability of laminates bonded by Al-Al thermocompression bonding applying different bonding parameters have been investigated. Laminates of diameter 150 mm were realized by bonding a wafer containing membrane structures to wafers with patterned bonding frames. The laminates were bonded...

...hyperplane sections, or by constructing Bézier curves in the bisector surface. When blending a configuration of edges and corners in a composite corner, we need to ensure that adjacent corner and edge blends are joined with at least G 1 continuity. In this paper we show, using an example corner, how such a...
