Computation of the attenuation function of the lightning return-stroke current from electromagnetic fields measured in a short-duration time-window — Part II: Numerical implementation

In the present paper, we show, by means of numerical simulations, that electromagnetic field data obtained from the radiation of a return-stroke lightning discharge and measured over a short-duration time-window can be exploited to reconstruct the attenuat ...

The electric autonomous dial-a-ride problem

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Claudia Bongiovanni, Mor Kaspi

In the Dial-a-Ride-Problem (DARP) a fleet of vehicles provides shared-ride services to users specifying their origin, destination, and preferred arrival time. Typically, the problem consists of finding minimum cost routes, satisfying operational constraint ...

Multi-Objective Optimization of Grooved Gas Journal Bearings for Robustness in Manufacturing Tolerances

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Eliott Philippe Guenat

A tolerancing method highlighting trade-offs against key design variables of mechanical systems is proposed and applied to herringbone-grooved gas journal bearings. Gas bearings typically suffer from a subsynchronous instability, demanding a very tight tol ...

Asynchronous Simulation of Neuronal Activity

Bruno Ricardo Da Cunha Magalhães

Simulations of the electrical activity of networks of morphologically-detailed neuron models allow for a better understanding of the brain. Short time to solution is critical in order to study long biological processes such as synaptic plasticity and learn ...

Fully-Asynchronous Cache-Efficient Simulation of Detailed Neural Networks

Felix Schürmann, Michael Lee Hines

Modern asynchronous runtime systems allow the re-thinking of large-scale scientific applications. With the example of a simulator of morphologically detailed neural networks, we show how detaching from the commonly used bulk-synchronous parallel (BSP) exec ...

A Two Phase Heuristic Approach For The Dynamic Electric Autonomous Dial-a-Ride Problem

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Claudia Bongiovanni, Mor Kaspi

In the Dial-a-Ride-Problem (DARP) a fleet of vehicles provide shared-ride services to users specifying their origin, destination, and preferred arrival time. In the dynamic version of the DARP, some trips are booked in advance while others come in real-tim ...

Cross-Platform Language Design

Sébastien Jean R Doeraene

Programming languages are increasingly compiled to multiple runtimes, each featuring their own rich structures such as their object model. Furthermore, they need to interact with other languages targeting said runtimes. A language targeting only one runtim ...

Neural Correlates of Sequential Decision Making

Michael Herzog, He Xu

In chess, a series of moves is made until a delayed sparse feedback (win, loss) is issued, which makes it impossible to evaluate the value of a single move. There are powerful reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms, which can cope with these sequential dec ...

Minimal Window Duration for Accurate HRV Recording in Athletes

Jean-Marc Vesin, Grégoire Millet, Sasan Yazdani

Heart rate variability (HRV) is non-invasive and commonly used for monitoring responses to training loads, fitness, or overreaching in athletes. Yet, the recording duration for aseries of RR-intervals varies from 1 to 15 min in the literature. The aim of t ...

When Constant-time Source Yields Variable-time Binary: Exploiting Curve25519-donna Built with MSVC 2015

Serge Vaudenay

The elliptic curve Curve25519 has been presented as pro- tected against state-of-the-art timing attacks [2]. This paper shows that a timing attack is still achievable against a particular X25519 implemen- tation which follows the RFC 7748 requirements [11] ...

Satisficing measure approach for vehicle routing problem with time windows under uncertainty

Jingjing Jiang

The complexity of evaluating chance constraints makes chance-constrained programming problem difficult to solve. One way to handle this complexity is by devising satisficing measures for the relevant uncertainties. This paper focuses on solving the stochas ...

From data to structures : graph learning under smoothness assumptions and applications in data science

Vasilis Kalofolias

Weighted undirected graphs are a simple, yet powerful way to encode structure in data. A first question we need to address regarding such graphs is how to use them effectively to enhance machine learning problems. A second but more important question is ho ...
