lifex-cfd: An open-source computational fluid dynamics solver for cardiovascular applications

Alfio Quarteroni, Luca Dede', Marco Fedele

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is an important tool for the simulation of the cardiovascular function and dysfunction. Due to the complexity of the anatomy, the transitional regime of blood flow in the heart, and the strong mutual influence between the ...

Directional sensitivity of cortical neurons towards TMS induced electric fields

Werner Alfons Hilda Van Geit, Aurélien Tristan Jaquier

We derived computationally efficient average response models of different types of cortical neurons, which are subject to external electric fields from Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. We used 24 reconstructions of pyramidal cells (PC) from layer 2/3, 24 ...

A virtual microstructure generator for 3D stone masonry walls

Katrin Beyer, Mahmoud S. M. Shaqfa

Detailed micromodel simulations of stone masonry walls require as input a 3D mesh that represents a realistic arrangement of stones in the masonry wall. In this paper, we constructed the first 3D masonry microstructures to derive 2D and 3D finite or discre ...

midiVERTO: A Web Application to Visualize Tonality in Real Time

Daniel Harasim, Fabian Claude Moss

This paper presents a web application for visualizing the tonality of a piece of music-the organization of its chords and scales-at a high level of abstraction and with coordinated playback. The application applies the discrete Fourier transform to the pit ...

Spherical cap harmonic analysis (SCHA) for characterising the morphology of rough surface patches

Katrin Beyer, Mahmoud S. M. Shaqfa

We use spherical cap harmonic (SCH) basis functions to analyse and reconstruct the morphology of scanned genus-0 rough surface patches with open edges. We first develop a novel one-to-one conformal mapping algorithm with minimal area distortion for paramet ...

Mapping Affinities in Academic Organizations

Frédéric Kaplan, Dario Rodighiero, Boris Beaude

Scholarly affinities are one of the most fundamental hidden dynamics that drive scientific development. Some affinities are actual, and consequently can be measured through classical academic metrics such as co-authoring. Other affinities are potential, an ...

Navigating through 200 years of historical newspapers

Frédéric Kaplan, Maud Ehrmann, Yannick Rochat, Cyril Antoine Michel Bornet, Vincent Christian Buntinx

This paper aims to describe and explain the processes behind the creation of a digital library composed of two Swiss newspapers, namely Gazette de Lausanne (1798-1998) and Journal de Genève (1826-1998), covering an almost two-century period. We developed a ...

A two-layer canopy model with thermal inertia for an improved snowpack energy balance below needleleaf forest (model SNOWPACK, version 3.2.1, revision 741)

Michael Lehning, Isabelle Amandine Gouttevin, Tobias Jonas

A new, two-layer canopy module with thermal inertia as part of the detailed snow model SNOWPACK (version 3.2.1) is presented and evaluated. As a by-product of these new developments, an exhaustive description of the canopy module of the SNOWPACK model is p ...

High performance computation of landscape genomic models integrating local indices of spatial association

Stéphane Joost, Sylvie Stucki, Pierre Taberlet

Motivation: The increasing availability of high-throughput datasets requires powerful methods to support the detection of signatures of selection in landscape genomics. Results: We present an integrated approach to study signatures of local adaptation, pro ...

An updated version of wannier90: A tool for obtaining maximally-localised Wannier functions

Nicola Marzari, Giovanni Pizzi

wannier90 is a program for calculating maximally-localised Wannier functions (MLWFs) from a set of Bloch energy bands that may or may not be attached to or mixed with other bands. The formalism works by minimising the total spread of the MLWFs in real spac ...

JULIDE: a software tool for 3D reconstruction and statistical analysis of autoradiographic mouse brain sections

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Pierre Magistretti, Delphine Ribes Lemay, Rémi Charrier

In this article we introduce JULIDE, a software toolkit developed to perform the 3D reconstruction, intensity normalization, volume standardization by 3D image registration and voxel-wise statistical analysis of autoradiographs of mouse brain sections. Thi ...

Turning Augmented Reality into a media: Design exploration to build a dedicated visual language

Pascal Fua, Nicolas Henchoz, Vincent Lepetit

This work collects the explorations conducted within the EPFL+ECAL Lab by several designers to interpret the various spheres of action of Augmented Reality in order to derive visual principles. These principles seek to contribute to developing a specific v ...

FRODO 2.0: An Open-Source Framework for Distributed Constraint Optimization

Thomas Léauté, Brammert Ottens, Radoslaw Szymanek

Distributed Constraint Optimization (DCOP) is a field that has recently been getting more and more attention from academia and industry. However, very few open-source, off-the-shelf tools are currently available to solve DCOPs; examples are FRODO, DisChoco ...

QUANTUM ESPRESSO: a modular and open-source software project for quantum simulations of materials

Alfredo Pasquarello, Nicola Marzari, Gabriele Sclauzero, Matteo Cococcioni, Lorenzo Paulatto, Roberto Car

QUANTUM ESPRESSO is an integrated suite of computer codes for electronic-structure calculations and materials modeling, based on density-functional theory, plane waves, and pseudopotentials (norm-conserving, ultrasoft, and projector-augmented wave). The ac ...

From Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 and back - How did your Grandma use to tag?

Karl Aberer, Gleb Skobeltsyn, Sebastian Michel, Adriana Budura

We consider the applicability of terms extracted from anchortext as a source of Web page descriptions in the form of tags. With a relatively simple and easy-to-use method, we show that anchortext significantly overlaps with tags obtained from the popular t ...

An all-in-one solution to geometric and photometric calibration

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Julien Pilet, Pascal Lagger, Andreas Geiger

We propose a fully automated approach to calibrating multiple cameras whose fields of view may not all overlap. Our technique only requires waving an arbitrary textured planar pattern in front of the cameras, which is the only manual intervention that is r ...
