Morphological Computation and Morphological Control: Steps Toward a Formal Theory and Applications

John Richard Walker

Morphological computation can be loosely defined as the exploitation of the shape, material properties, and physical dynamics of a physical system to improve the efficiency of a computation. Morphological control is the application of morphological computi ...

Defining the potential of usable waste heat in industrial processes with the help of pinch and exergy analysis

François Maréchal, Daniel Favrat, Matthias Bendig

This paper aims at giving a definition for waste heat in analogy to the definitions of natural resources and reserves. It aims also at presenting a method for identifying, characterizing and quantifying the available waste heat of an industrial system that ...

Obfuscation for Cryptographic Purposes

Martijn Stam

Loosely speaking, an obfuscation O of a function f should satisfy two requirements: firstly, using O, it should be possible to evaluate f; secondly, O should not reveal anything about f that cannot be learnt from oracle access to f alone. Several definitio ...

Speckle interferometry: A review of the principal methods in use for experimental mechanics applications

With its nearly 40 years of existence, speckle interferometry (SI) has become a complete technique, widely used in many branches of experimental mechanics. It is thus a challenging task to try to summarise in a couple of pages its principal characteristics ...

Discussion on the assessment and mitigation of radiation from PLC networks

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Ana Vukicevic, José-Luis Bermudez, Emmanuel Marthe

Definitions are introduced to classify the regions of interest around PLC networks. An improvement to an existing technique for the reduction of emissions from PLC networks is proposed. Using numerical simulations, the technique is shown to reduce any one ...
