Water utilities aim to reduce the high electrical costs of Water Distribution Networks (WDNs), primarily driven by pumping. However, pump scheduling is challenging due to model uncertainties and water demand forecast errors. This paper presents a Rob...
This paper deals with the control of pumps in large-scale water distribution networks with the aim of minimizing economic costs while satisfying operational constraints. Finding a control algorithm in combination with a model that can be applied in r...
The paper presents a predictive control method for the water distribution networks (WDNs) powered by photovoltaics (PVs) and the electrical grid. This builds on the controller introduced in a previous study and is designed to reduce the economic cost...
The paper introduces a procedure for determining an approximation of the optimal amount of photovoltaics (PVs) for powering water distribution networks (WDNs) through grid-connected PVs. The procedure aims to find the PV amount minimizing the total e...
This paper introduces a comprehensive framework designed to analyze and secure decision-support systems trained with Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL), prior to deployment, by providing insights into learned behavior patterns and vulnerabilities disc...
The goal of this paper is to revise the Henderson-Chu approach by dividing the commuters into two income-based groups: the `rich' and the `poor'. The rich are clearly more flexible in their arrival times and would rather have more schedule delay cost...
This paper analyses the short utterance probabilistic linear discriminant analysis (PLDA) speaker verification with utterance partitioning and short utterance variance (SUV) modelling approaches. Experimental studies have found that instead of using...
Preparing observing proposals is a classical exercise in an observational astronomer's life. In this paper, we summarize the general requirements to write a good proposal for the ESO telescopes, and eventually obtain telescope time. We detail in pa...
This paper presents the Equimetrics data capture system. The primary objective is to apply HAR principles to enhance the understanding and optimization of equestrian performance. By integrating data from strategically placed sensors on the rider's bo...
In this paper, we compare several event classification architectures defined on the point cloud representation of collider events. These approaches, which are based on the frameworks of deep sets and edge convolutions, circumvent many of the difficul...
In this paper, we study an impartial game called Delete Nim. In this game, there are two heaps of stones. The player chooses one of the heaps and delete the other heap. Next, she takes away one stone from the chosen heap and optionally splits it into...
The integration of differential equations of Feynman integrals can be greatly facilitated by using a canonical basis. This paper presents the Mathematica package CANONICA, which implements a recently developed algorithm to automatize the transformati...
In this paper, we study distance one surgeries between lens spaces $L(p,1)$ with $p \geq 5$ prime and lens spaces $L(n,1)$ for $n \in \mathbb{Z}$ and band surgeries from $T(2,p)$ to $T(2,n)$. In particular, we prove that $L(n,1)$ is obtained by a dis...
In this paper, we show that the lens space $L(s,1)$ for $s \neq 0 $ is obtained by a distance one surgery along a knot in the lens space $L(n,1)$ with $n \geq 5$ odd only if $n$ and $s$ satisfy one of the following cases: (1) $n \geq 5$ is any odd in...
Solving tangle equations is deeply connected with studying enzyme action on DNA. The main goal of this paper is to solve the system of tangle equations $N(O+X_1)=b_1$ and $N(O+X_2)=b_2 \# b_3$, where $X_1$ and $X_2$ are rational tangles, and $b_i$ is...
I've wanted a Steam Deck since day 1, but bought into the Legion Go's versatility and a extra features (on paper). Holy hell was I not ready for what a buggy mess Windows is on handheld PCs. I usuall...

In this paper the relaxed micromorphic model proposed in [Patrizio Neff, Ionel-Dumitrel Ghiba, Angela Madeo, Luca Placidi, Giuseppe Rosi. A unifying perspective: the relaxed linear micromorphic continuum, submitted, 2013, arXiv:1308.3219; and Ionel-D...
This paper gives new insight to the study of dynamical effects in proton breakup as compared to neutron breakup from a weakly bound state in an exotic nucleus. Following our recent work [Ravinder Kumar and Angela Bonaccorso, Phys. Rev. C84 014613 (20...
In this paper we discuss some exact results related to the fractional Klein--Gordon equation involving fractional powers of the D'Alembert operator. By means of a space-time transformation, we reduce the fractional Klein--Gordon equation to a fractio...
