The defection or churn of customers represents an important concern for any company and a central matter of interest in customer base analysis. An additional complication arises in non-contractual settings, where the ...

[EN] In order to compensate the power quality issues that arise in distribution grids with high penetration of renewable energy sources, an active power filter device controlled by a novel model-based predictive controller, ...

[ES] La estrategia de optimización multiobjetivo denominada Programación Física o Physical Programming (PP) permite al diseñador expresar sus preferencias explícitamente para cada objetivo de diseño (tiempo de establecimiento, ...

Safety related systems performance optimization is classically based on quantifying the effects that testing and maintenance activities have on reliability and cost (RC). However, RC quantification is often incomplete in ...

[EN] The current environmental challenges require the implementation of environmentally friendly energy production systems. In this context, proton exchange membrane fuel cell stacks (PEMFC) represent, due to their high ...

In this paper a new approach to design sound phase diffusers is presented. The acoustic properties of such diffusers are usually increased by using single objective optimization methods. Here we propose the use of a multi- ...

[EN] The design of district metered areas (DMA) in potable water supply systems is of paramount importance for water utilities to properly manage their systems. Concomitant to their main objective, namely, to deliver quality ...

[EN] Extreme rainfall events cause immense damage in cities where drainage networks are nonexistent or deficient and thus unable to transport rainwater. Infrastructure adaptations can reduce flooding and help the population ...

[EN] Achieving optimal production in microbial cell factories, robustness against changing intracellular and environmental perturbations requires the dynamic feedback regulation of the pathway of interest. Here, we consider ...

[EN] Kinetic (i.e., dynamic) semimechanistic models based on the first principles are particularly important in systems and synthetic biology since they can explain and predict the functional behavior that emerges from the ...
