Geometry-Driven Stock-Constrained Truss Design via Equilibrium-Based Structural Models

This paper presents a geometry-driven approach to form-finding with reused stock elements. Our proposed workflow uses a K-mean algorithm to cluster stock elements and incorporate their geometrical values early in the form-finding process. A feedback loop i ...

A unifying framework for form-finding and topology-finding of tensegrity structures

Yafeng Wang

This paper presents a unifying framework for the form-finding and topology-finding of tensegrity structures. The novel computational framework is based on rank-constrained linear matrix inequalities. For form-finding, given the topology (i.e., member conne ...

Understanding delayed fluorescence and triplet decays of Protoporphyrin IX under hypoxic conditions

Georges Wagnières

Photosensitizers of singlet oxygen exhibit three main types of reverse intersystem-crossing (RISC): thermally activated, triplet-triplet annihilation, and singlet oxygen feedback. RISC can be followed by delayed fluorescence (DF) emission, which can provid ...

Evaluation of Site Errors in LLS Magnetic Direction Finding Caused by Large Hills Using the 3D‐FDTD Technique

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Wolfgang Schulz, Hannes Kohlmann

Angle and amplitude estimation errors in magnetic direction finding, called site errors, are important sensor-specific errors in lightning location systems (LLS). They are known to be caused by nearby cables and overhead lines due to induced currents. Due ...

Uncertain Sampling with Certain Priors

Golnooshsadat Elhami

Sampling has always been at the heart of signal processing providing a bridge between the analogue world and discrete representations of it, as our ability to process data in continuous space is quite limited. Furthermore, sampling plays a key part in unde ...

Three-Dimensional Cubic Barcodes

Martin Vetterli, Adam James Scholefield, Golnooshsadat Elhami

We consider three-dimensional cubic barcodes, consisting of smaller cubes, each built from one of two possible materials and carry one bit of information. To retrieve the information stored in the barcode, we measure a 2-D projection of the barcode using a ...

Form-finding of tensegrity structures via rank minimization of force density matrix

Yafeng Wang

This study proposes a general computational framework for the form-finding of tensegrity structures. The procedure is divided into two stages in which the member force densities and nodal coordinates are obtained respectively. In the first stage, the deter ...

Heinz Isler’s twin shell roof in Deitingen – preservation of a ‘timeless wing beat’

Eugen Brühwiler

The Swiss shell pioneer Heinz Isler (1926–2009) fundamentally challenged established shell design methods by introducing original methods of form finding based on gravity. He realised elegant and pure shell forms in reinforced concrete, incarnating the per ...

A general framework for non-exponential delayed fluorescence and phosphorescence decay analysis, illustrated on Protoporphyrin IX

Georges Wagnières, Jaroslava Joniová, Emmanuel Louis Arthur Gerelli, Aurelien Stephen Arnaud Gregor

Delayed fluorescence (DF) is a long-lived luminescence process used in a variety of applications ranging from oxygen sensing in biological tissues to organic Light Emitting Diodes. In common cases, DF results from the deexcitation of the first excited trip ...

Erosion processes of a novel configuration of sediment replenishment during an artificial flood

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Severin Stähly, Christopher Robinson

Floodplains downstream of dams with constant residual flow discharge often lack sediment supply and periodic inundation due to the absence of flood events. At the Sarine floodplain in Fribourg, western Switzerland, an artificial flood was released from Ros ...

Measuring Functional Integration by Identifying the Trip Chains and the Profiles of Cross-Border Workers: Empirical Evidences from Luxembourg

Guillaume Simon Joseph Drevon, Philippe Gerber

The number of cross-border workers in Luxembourg has steadily increased over the last 30 years. In the collective imagination these cross-border workers come to the Grand Duchy just to work. This paper challenges this representation by measuring the functi ...
