    On Inadequacy of Sequential Design of Experiments for Performance-Driven Surrogate Modeling of Antenna Input Characteristics 
    Pietrenko-Dabrowska, Anna; Koziel, Slawomir (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020)
    Design of contemporary antennas necessarily involves electromagnetic (EM) simulation tools. Their employment is imperative to ensure evaluation reliability but also to carry out the design process itself, especially, the adjustment of antenna dimensions. ...

    On the internal reaction forces, energy absorption, and fracture in the hip during simulated sideways fall impact 
    Fleps, Ingmar; Enns-Bray, William S.; Guy, Pierre; Ferguson, Stephen J.; Cripton, Peter A.; Helgason, Benedikt (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2018-11-26)
    The majority of hip fractures have been reported to occur as a result of a fall with impact to the greater trochanter of the femur. Recently, we developed a novel cadaveric pendulum-based hip impact model and tested two cadaveric femur-pelvis constructs, ...

    Out of reach? Convergence to an inflation target in the Central Bank of Iceland’s macroeconomic model 
    Baldursson, Friðrik Már; Hall, Axel (Viðskiptafræðideild og hagfræðideild Háskóla Íslands, viðskiptafræðideild Háskólans í Reykjavík og Seðlabanki Íslands., 2008)
    Inflation scenarios in forecasts of the Central Bank of Iceland (CBI) appear to converge to the inflation target (2.5%) in 8-9 quarters. We ask whether this is a coincidence or an inherent property of the CBI’s model, QMM. We formulate a sub-model, ...

    The photocurrent generated by photon replica states of an off-resonantly coupled dot-cavity system 
    Abdullah, Nzar; Tang, Chi-Shung; Manolescu, Andrei; Gudmundsson, Vidar (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-10-11)
    Transport properties of a quantum dot coupled to a photon cavity are investigated using a quantum master equation in the steady-state regime. In the off-resonance regime, when the photon energy is smaller than the energy spacing between the lowest ...

    Plotkin's call-by-value λ-calculus as a modal calculus 
    Espírito Santo, José; Pinto, Luís; Uustalu, Tarmo (Elsevier BV, 2022-06)
    In the authors' previous analysis of the calling paradigms call-by-name and call-by-value through Girard's and Gödel's embeddings into the S4 modal logic, an asymmetry remains: the two paradigms are unified by the call-by-box paradigm of the modal ...
