Novel theory and potential applications of central diastolic pressure decay time constant

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Georgios Rovas, Sokratis Anagnostopoulos, Vasiliki Bikia, Patrick Segers

Central aortic diastolic pressure decay time constant ( ) is according to the two-element Windkessel model equal to the product of total peripheral resistance (R) times total arterial compliance (C ). As such, it is related to arterial stiffness, which has ...

Robustness of In-Laboratory and Daily-Life Gait Speed Measures over One Year in High Functioning 61-to 70-Year-Old Adults

Kamiar Aminian

Introduction: Gait speed is a simple and safe measure with strong predictive value for negative health outcomes in clinical practice, yet in-laboratory gait speed seems not representative for daily-life gait speed. This study aimed to investigate the inter ...

Regret Minimization and Separation in Multi-Bidder Multi-Item Auctions

Daniel Kuhn, Napat Rujeerapaiboon, Cagil Kocyigit

We study a robust auction design problem with a minimax regret objective, where a seller seeks a mechanism for selling multiple items to multiple anonymous bidders with additive values. The seller knows that the bidders' values range over a box uncertainty ...

Dynamic testing of a four-storey building with reinforced concrete and unreinforced masonry walls: Prediction, test results and data set

Katrin Beyer, Sarah Petry, Marco Tondelli

This paper presents the results of a series of shake-table tests on a half-scale, four-storey building with reinforced concrete (RC) and unreinforced masonry (URM) walls. Due to the lack of reference tests, the seismic behaviour of such mixed structures is ...

A system to measure the kinematics during the entire ski jump sequence using inertial sensors

Kamiar Aminian, Julien Favre, Julien Chardonnens

Three-dimensional analysis of the entire sequence in ski jumping is recommended when studying the kinematics or evaluating performance. Camera-based systems which allow three-dimensional kinematics measurement are complex to set-up and require extensive po ...

COUP-TFII Controls Mouse Pancreatic beta-Cell Mass through GLP-1-beta-Catenin Signaling Pathways

Anne Grapin-Botton

Background: The control of the functional pancreatic beta-cell mass serves the key homeostatic function of releasing the right amount of insulin to keep blood sugar in the normal range. It is not fully understood though how beta-cell mass is determined. ...

A Globally Convergent Algorithm for the Run-to-Run Control of Systems with Sector Nonlinearities

Dominique Bonvin, Grégory François

Run-to-run control is a technique that exploits the repetitive nature of processes to iteratively adjust the inputs and drive the run-end outputs to their reference values. It can be used to control both static and finite-time dynamic systems. Although the ...

Automatic quality assessment in structural brain magnetic resonance imaging

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Bénédicte Marie Maréchal, Reto Meuli, Gunnar Krüger

MRI has evolved into an important diagnostic technique in medical imaging. However, reliability of the derived diagnosis can be degraded by artifacts, which challenge both radiologists and automatic computer-aided diagnosis. This work proposes a fully-auto ...
