Estimation in multisensor networked systems with scarce measurements and time varying delays
Elsevier (2012-04)In this paper, the problem of estimating signals from a dynamic system at regular periods from scarce, delayed and possibly time disordered measurements acquired through a network is addressed. A model based predictor that ... -
Estimation of Nonstationary Process Variance in Multistage Manufacturing Processes Using a Model-Based Observer
IEEE (2018-08)In this paper, we propose a recursive algorithm to estimate the process variance in multistage manufacturing or assembly processes. We use a replicated model that includes the process variance to be estimated as a time-varying ... -
Evaluation of in-plane architecture in a thermo-electrochemical cell with nanostructured and porous Sb:SnO2 electrodes
Elsevier (2024-05-11)Thermo-electrochemical cells (TECs) are able to convert heat into electricity. They are formed by two electrodes (typically Pt) separated by a redox electrolyte (usually 0.4 M aqueous ferro/ferricyanide). The widely adopted ... -
Evaluation of Storage Energy Requirements for Constant Production in PV Power Plants
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) (2013-03)This paper analyzes the minimum energy capacity ratings that an energy-storage (ES) system should accomplish in order to achieve a defined constant power production in a photovoltaic (PV) power plant. ES is a key issue for ... -
Evaluation of the engineering performance of different bio-based aliphatic homopolyamide tubes prepared by profile extrusion
Elsevier (2017)In the present study, three different commercial bio-based polyamides (bio-PAs), namely polyamide 610 (PA610), polyamide 1010 (PA1010), and polyamide 1012 (PA1012), were processed by profile extrusion with an annular ... -
Evaluation of the impact of gamification on students’ performance and engagement in manufacturing engineering courses
SAGE Publications (2023-02-28)In engineering courses with a large number of students, fail and dropout rates are usually high even in courses that can be expected to be interesting to the students. Gamification tools have arisen as an interesting way ... -
Evaluation of the inflammatory responses to sol–gel coatingswith distinct biocompatibility levels
John Wiley and Sons (2021-02-20)The immune system plays a crucial role in determining the implantation outcome, and macrophages are in the frontline of the inflammatory processes. Further, cellular oxidative stress resulting from the material recognition ... -
Evaluation of the role of surface pretreatments on thecorrosion process. Correlation between conventional andelectrochemical tests
