Implications of life cycle energy assessment of a new school building, regarding the nearly zero Energy Buildings targets in EU: A case of study
(Sustainable Cities and Society, 2017-07)
Lately EU has promoted several policies with the aim of reducing buildings energy impact. Despite such policies have successfully contributed to reduce residential buildings (RBs) energy consumption, non-residential buildings ...
Local Convergence and the Dynamics of a Two-Step Newton-Like Method
(International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos in Applied Sciences and Engineering, 2016-05)
We present the local convergence analysis and the study of the dynamics of a two-step Newton-like method in order to approximate a locally unique solution of multiplicity one of a nonlinear equation.
Crisis in the Horn of Africa: Measurement of Progress Towards Millennium Development Goals
(Social Indicators Research, 2018-01)
The Horn of Africa is suffering from the worst food security emergency in the world today, and half of those in need are children. Due to the current economic crisis, the funding needed to cope with the severe food crises ...
On the local convergence and the dynamics of Chebyshev–Halley methods with six and eight order of convergence
(Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics, 2016-05)
We study the local convergence of Chebyshev–Halley methods with six and eight order of convergence to approximate a locally unique solution of a nonlinear equation. In Sharma (2015) (see Theorem 1, p. 121) the convergence ...
Virtual Forums as a Learning Method in Industrial Engineering Organization
(IEEE Latin Amerrica Transactions, 2016-06)
A practical experience using electronic debates in the Area of Industrial Organization has been developed. The Harvard case method (HBS) was used with students of different nationalities, over 5 years (2007-2012). The ...
Inverse eigenvalue problem for normal J-hamiltonian matrices
(Applied Mathematics Letters, 2015-10)
A complex square matrix A is called J-hamiltonian if AT is hermitian where J is a normal real matrix such that J(2) = -I-n. In this paper we solve the problem of finding J-hamiltonian normal solutions for the inverse ...
Drug polyconsumption is associated with increased synchronization of brain electrical-activity at rest and in a counting task
(International Journal of Neural Systems, 2014-02)
Drug abusers typically consume not just one but several types of drugs, starting from alcohol and marijuana consumption, and then dramatically lapsing into addiction to harder drugs, such as cocaine, heroin, or amphetamine. ...
Algorithms for solving the inverse problem associated with KAK = A(s+1)
(Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics, 2017-01)
In previous papers, the authors introduced and characterized a class of matrices called {K, s +1}-potent. Also, they established a method to construct these matrices. The purpose of this paper is to solve the associated ...
A first overview on the real dynamics of Chebyshev's method
(Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics, 2017-07)
In this paper we explore some properties of the well known root-finding Chebyshev’s method applied to polynomials defined on the real field. In particular we are interested in showing the existence of extraneous fixed ...
Addressing Sustainable Social Change for All: Upcycled-Based Social Creative Businesses for the Transformation of Socio-Technical Regimes
(International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020-04)
The global challenges caused by socio-economic inequalities, climate change and environmental damage caused to ecosystems, require changes in human behavior at all organizational levels, including companies, governments, ...
