A Reuse-Ready Timber Slab-and-Column System for Modular Building Structures

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jonas Warmuth, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Alex-Manuel Muresan, Edisson Xavier Estrella Arcos

The construction industry is a significant contributor to resource consumption and waste generation. To address this issue, component reuse has been proposed as a way to prevent valuable building elements from being discarded and avoid producing new ones. ...

Continuous Simulation Data Stream: A dynamical timescale-dependent output scheme for simulations

Loïc Hausammann, Matthieu Schaller

Exa-scale simulations are on the horizon but almost no new design for the output has been proposed in recent years. In simulations using individual time steps, the traditional snapshots are over resolving particles/cells with large time steps and are under ...

Synthetic realistic noise-corrupted PPG database and noise generator for the evaluation of PPG denoising and delineation algorithms

David Atienza Alonso, Giulio Masinelli, Adriana Arza Valdes, Fabio Isidoro Tiberio Dell'Agnola

This database is meant to evaluate the performance of denoising and delineation algorithms for PPG signals affected by noise. The noise generator allows applying the algorithms under test to an artificially corrupted reference PPG signal and comparing its ...

On the relation between transversal and longitudinal scaling in cities

João Vitor Meirelles de Miranda

Does the scaling relationship between population sizes of cities with urban metrics like economic output and infrastructure (transversal scaling) mirror the evolution of individual cities in time (longitudinal scaling)? The answer to this question has impo ...

Actor neural networks for the robust control of partially measured nonlinear systems showcased for image propagation through diffuse media

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Navid Borhani, Damien Claude-Marie Loterie, Eirini Kakkava, Babak Rahmani, Ugur Tegin

The output of physical systems, such as the scrambled pattern formed by shining the spot of a laser pointer through fog, is often easily accessible by direct measurements. However, selection of the input of such a system to obtain a desired output is diffi ...

Cascaded amplifying circuits enable ultrasensitive cellular sensors for toxic metals

Sebastian Maerkl, Francesca Volpetti, Ekaterina Emilova Petrova

Cell-based biosensors have great potential to detect various toxic and pathogenic contaminants in aqueous environments. However, frequently they cannot meet practical requirements due to insufficient sensing performance. To address this issue, we investiga ...

The sources of sovereign risk: a calibration based on Levy stochastic processes

Sylvain Jean Pascal Carré, Daniel Cohen

Governments choose to issue risky or riskless debt depending on the nature of the stochastic process of output. We use Brownian motion and Poisson shocks a modeling method in the literature on corporate default known as Levy processes to approximate a deco ...

Quantifying the Benefits of Labor Mobility in a Currency Union

Unemployment differentials are bigger in Europe than in the United States. Migration responds to unemployment differentials, though the response is smaller in Europe. Mundell (1961) argued that factor mobility is a precondition for a successful currency un ...

Multimode optical fiber transmission with a deep learning network

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Damien Claude-Marie Loterie, Babak Rahmani, Georgia Konstantinou

Multimode fibers (MMFs) are an example of a highly scattering medium, which scramble the coherent light propagating within them to produce seemingly random patterns. Thus, for applications such as imaging and image projection through an MMF, careful measur ...
