The probability of intransitivity in dice and close elections

We study the phenomenon of intransitivity in models of dice and voting. First, we follow a recent thread of research for n-sided dice with pairwise ordering induced by the probability, relative to 1/2, that a throw from one die is higher than the other. We ...

Monotonic Prefix Consistency in Distributed Systems

Rachid Guerraoui, Dragos-Adrian Seredinschi, Jad Hamza

We study the issue of data consistency in distributed systems. Specifically, we consider a distributed system that replicates its data at multiple sites, which is prone to partitions, and which is assumed to be available (in the sense that queries are alwa ...

COSMOGRAIL: the COSmological MOnitoring of GRAvItational Lenses XII. Time delays of the doubly lensed quasars SDSS J1206+4332 and HS 2209+1914

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Malte Tewes

Aims. Within the framework of the COSMOGRAIL collaboration we present 7- and 8.5-year-long light curves and time-delay estimates for two gravitationally lensed quasars: SDSS J1206+4332 and HS 2209+1914. Methods. We monitored these doubly lensed quasars in ...

Review of methods addressing freshwater use in life cycle inventory and impact assessment

Anna Kounina Massé

In recent years, several methods have been developed which propose different freshwater use inventory schemes and impact assessment characterization models considering various cause-effect chain relationships. This work reviewed a multitude of methods and ...

Weight and Efficiency Optimized DC/DC Converter Based on Multiple Interleaved Channels

Alfred Rufer, Yannick Louvrier

Today, energy saving is one of the main objectives for engineers. In the case of mobile applications, energy can be saved by two different ways: decreasing the total masse of the system and increasing the efficiency of the overall system. This paper presen ...

Measurement System Configuration for Damage Identification of Continuously Monitored Structures

Ian Smith, Nizar Bel Hadj Ali, Ngoc Thanh Trinh, Irwanda Laory

Measurement system configuration is an important task in structural health monitoring in that decisions influence the performance of monitoring systems. This task is generally performed using only engineering judgment and experience. Such approach may resu ...

Designing measurement systems for continuous monitoring of structures

Ian Smith, Nizar Bel Hadj Ali, Ngoc Thanh Trinh, Irwanda Laory

A good measurement system improves capability to identify the behavior of civil engineering structures. This paper presents a measurement-system design approach for continuous monitoring of structures. This approach performs two tasks: (1) determining the ...

Role of elastin anisotropy in structural strain energy functions of arterial tissue

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Edouard Fonck

The vascular wall exhibits nonlinear anisotropic mechanical properties. The identification of a strain energy function (SEF) is the preferred method to describe its complex nonlinear elastic properties. Earlier constituent-based SEF models, where elastin i ...

A Systems Modelling Framework to Support Scenario-Based Approaches for Integrated Resources Management

Bastien Roquier

Integrated natural resources management is an emerging discipline that aims to move beyond piecemeal approaches and promote integrated actions over a wide range of disciplines and actors. One of the technical challenges of this new discipline is the integr ...
