Surface crystallization of ionic liquid crystals
Martins, Mónia A.R.; Carvalho, Pedro J.; Alves, Douglas; Dariva, Cláudio; Costa, Mariana C.; Ferreira, Rute A.S.; André, Paulo S.; Morgado, PedroThe evidence for surface crystallization in ionic liquids is scarce. The existing reports seem to be contradictory as for its driving forces, since in the two compounds investigated in the literature, the contribution of coloumbic and van der Waals forces is very different. In this work 1-dodecyl-3- methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate was studied and its surface crystallization characterized by surface tension,...
Intelligent Energy Management using CBR: Brazilian Residential Consumption Scen...
Fernandes, Filipe; Alves, Douglas; Pinto, Tiago; Takigawa, Fabrício; Fernandes, Rubipiara; Morais, Hugo; Vale, Zita; Kagan, NelsonThis paper proposes a novel case-based reasoning (CBR) approach to support the intelligent management of energy resources in a residential context. The proposed approach analyzes previous cases of consumption reduction in houses, and determines the amount that should be reduced in each moment and in each context, in order to meet the users’ needs in terms of comfort while minimizing the energy bill. The actual ...
