Influence of sun cups on surface albedo of wet Alpine snowpack

Michael Lehning, Mathias Thierry Pierre Bavay, Francesca Carletti

In high elevation Alpine areas, characterised by high snow accumulation and radiation-driven melt processes, the formation of peculiar ablation features called sun cups can be observed. Sun cups likely influence the energy and mass balance of the wet snowp ...

A Lightweight Goal-Based model for Trajectory Prediction

Kaouther Messaoud Ben Amor

We present a lightweight goal-based model for multimodal, probabilistic trajectory prediction for urban driving. Previous conditioned-on-goal methods have used map information in order to establish a set of potential goals and then complete the correspondi ...

Eulerian simulation of complex suspensions and biolocomotion in three dimensions

Yuexia Luna Lin

We present a numerical method specifically designed for simulating three-dimensional fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems based on the reference map technique (RMT). The RMT is a fully Eulerian FSI numerical method that allows fluids and large-deform ...

Dynamic Probabilistic Pruning: A General Framework for Hardware-Constrained Pruning at Different Granularities

Alexandre Schmid, Lizeth Gonzalez Carabarin

Unstructured neural network pruning algorithms have achieved impressive compression ratios. However, the resulting-typically irregular-sparse matrices hamper efficient hardware implementations, leading to additional memory usage and complex control logic t ...

Imaging atelectrauma in Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury using 4D X-ray microscopy

Goran Lovric, Anders Larsson

Mechanical ventilation can damage the lungs, a condition called Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury (VILI). However, the mechanisms leading to VILI at the microscopic scale remain poorly understood. Here we investigated the within-tidal dynamics of cyclic recru ...

A nonparametric method for producing isolines of bivariate exceedance probabilities

Emeric Rolland Georges Thibaud

We present a method for drawing isolines indicating regions of equal joint exceedance probability for bivariate data. The method relies on bivariate regular variation, a dependence framework widely used for extremes. The method we utilize for characterizin ...

Adhesive wear mechanisms in the presence of weak interfaces: Insights from an amorphous model system

Jean-François Molinari, Tobias Brink

Engineering wear models are generally empirical and lack connections to the physical processes of debris generation at the nanoscale to microscale. Here, we thus analyze wear particle formation for sliding interfaces in dry contact with full and reduced ad ...

SAT-Based Area Recovery in Structural Technology Mapping

Bruno Schmitt Antunes

This paper proposes a fast SAT-based algorithm for recovering area applicable to an already technology mapped circuit. The algorithm considers a sequence of relatively small overlapping regions, called windows, in a mapped network and tries to improve the ...

Multimodal microstructure imaging: joint T2-relaxometry and diffusometry to estimate myelin, intracellular, extracellular, and cerebrospinal fluid properties

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Alessandro Daducci, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Marco Pizzolato

We propose a multimodal joint estimation that aims at exploiting the complementary information of diffusion and multi-echo spin echo data to disentangle the contributions and properties of the main tissue microstructure compartments. We recovered T2, diffu ...

The effects of visual realism, spatial abilities, and competition on performance in map-based route learning in men

John Christian Thoresen, Rebecca Francelet

We report on how visual realism might influence map-based route learning performance in a controlled laboratory experiment with 104 male participants in a competitive context. Using animations of a dot moving through routes of interest, we find that partic ...
