Hybrid EEG-fNIRS brain-computer interface based on the non-linear features extraction and stacking ensemble learning
The Brain-computer interface (BCI) is used to enhance the human capabilities. The hybridBCI (hBCI) is a novel concept for subtly hybridizing multiple monitoring schemes to maximize the advantages of each while minimizing the drawbacks of individual methods. Recently, researchers have started focusing on the Electroencephalogram (EEG) and ‘‘Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy” (fNIRS) based hBCI. The main […]

Minimising total weighted completion time for semi-online single machine scheduling with known arrivals and bounded processing times
This paper addresses the semi-online scheduling problem of minimising the total weighted com pletion time on a single machine, where a combination of information on jobs release dates and processing times is considered. In this study, jobs can only arrive at known future times and a lower bound on jobs processing times is known in […]

An overview of interphase’s formation and participation on water diffusion in epoxy/metal bonded assemblies
This overview aims at gathering the various existing works on interphases within epoxy/metal bonded assemblies. Indeed, this particular area plays an important role on the adhesion but also on the behavior in wet environment. Polymeric materi als being hydrophilic, water diffusion occurs when they are in a humid environment. The water molecules then have an […]
