      For the past 12 years, the Chilean Professional Soccer Association (ANFP) hasapplied operations research (OR) techniques to schedule soccer leagues in Chile. Usinginteger programming-based methods, the ANFP decides which ...
    • Águila Camacho, Norelys; Le Roux, Johan D.; Duarte Mermoud, Manuel; Orchard Concha, Marcos (Elsevier, 2017)
      This paper presents the design and application of fractional single-input–single-output (SISO) controllers to a grinding mill circuit, which is a multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) process. Two kinds of controllers are ...

      We present Gemini/GNIRS (Gemini Near-Infrared Spectrograph) spectroscopy of the Seyfert2 galaxy NGC 4388, with simultaneous coverage from 0.85 to 2.5μm. Several spatiallyextended emission lines are detected for the first ...
    • Gagie, Travis; He, Meng; Navarro, Gonzalo (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017)
      In the range α-majority query problem, we preprocess a given sequence S[1.n] for a fixed threshold α ϵ (0, 1], such that given a query range [i.j], the symbols that occur more than α (j-i+1) times in S[i.j] can be reported ...
    • Rivera, Erika; Antonio Némiga, Xanat; Origel Gutiérrez, Gabriel; Sarricolea Espinoza, Pablo; Adame Martínez, Salvador (Springer, 2017)
      The dynamic of consolidation of urban areas inLatin America has allowed that almost 80% of the popula-tion concentrates in cities; this has produced changes in landcovers and modified regional climate, propitiating ...
    • Iturralde, Daniel; Seguel, Fabian; Soto, Ismael; Azurdia Meza, César; Khan, Salman (IEEE, 2017)
      In this paper we present a new system that uses new technology that has the ability to transmit data using light emitting diodes (LED) and a photodetector (PD) capable of sensing very soft changes of light. The system ...
    • Kamal, Shaharyar; Azurdia Meza, César; Tran, Nguyen H.; Lee, Kyesan (IEEE, 2017)
      We propose a hybrid filter to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) on the transmitter side in a long-term evolution uplink scheme. The design of the proposed filter is based on two key components: a finite impulse ...
    • Fontbona Torres, Joaquín; Panloup, Fabien (Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2017)
      We investigate the problem of the rate of convergence to equilibrium for ergodic stochastic differential equations driven by fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameterH >1/2 and multiplicative noise component σ. ...
    • Carrasco, Mario; Alcaíno Gorman, Jennifer; Cifuentes Guzmán, Víctor; Baeza Cancino, Marcelo (BioMed Central, 2017)
      Background: Amylases are used in various industrial processes and a key requirement for the efficiency of these processes is the use of enzymes with high catalytic activity at ambient temperature. Unfortunately, most ...
    • Nisar, Muhammad; Pérez Bergmann, Carlos; Geshev, Julián; Quijada Abarca, Juan; Maraschin, Thuany; de Souza Basso, Nara R.; Barrera, Eliana G.; Galland, Griselda Barrera (John Wiley, 2017)
      Semi-conducting polyethylene (PE) nanocomposites with outstanding magnetic properties at room temperature were synthesized. These exceptional properties, for a diamagnetic and insulating matrix as PE, were obtained by ...
    • Afshani, Peyman; Barbay, Jérémy; Chan, Timothy M. (ACM, 2017)
      We prove the existence of an algorithmAfor computing 2D or 3D convex hulls that is optimal forevery pointsetin the following sense: for every sequenceσofnpoints and for every algorithmA′in a certain classA,the running time ...
    • Acevedo, Juan Pablo; Reetz, Manfred T.; Asenjo de Leuze, Juan; Parra, Loreto P. (Elsevier, 2017)
      tEnzymes active at low temperature are of great interest for industrial bioprocesses due to their highefficiency at a low energy cost. One of the particularities of naturally evolved cold-active enzymes istheir increased ...
    • Sánchez, Heider; Bustos Cárdenas, Benjamín (Springer, 2017)
      Discord Discovery is a recent approach for anomaly detection in time series that has attracted much research because of the wide variety of real-world applications in monitoring systems. However, finding anomalies by ...
    • Hernández Pellicer, Rodrigo; Rodríguez, G. (Institute of Physics Publishing, 2017)
      Numerical simulations were used to study the dynamics of a passive conservedscalar quantity entrained by a self-propelling viscous vortex ring. The trans-port and mixing process of the passive scalar variable were studied ...
    • Achúcarro, Ana; Atal, Vicente; Germani, Cristiano; Palma Quilodrán, Gonzalo (Institute of Physics Publishing, 2017)
      In multi-field inflation one or more non-adiabatic modes may become light, potentially inducing large levels of isocurvature perturbations in the cosmic microwave background. If in addition these light modes are coupled ...
