Mitigating Object Dependencies: Improving Point Cloud Self-Supervised Learning through Object Exchange

Sabine Süsstrunk, Mathieu Salzmann, Tong Zhang, Yi Wu

In the realm of point cloud scene understanding, particularly in indoor scenes, objects are arranged following human habits, resulting in objects of certain semantics being closely positioned and displaying notable inter-object correlations. This can creat ...

Architecture of a decentralised decision support system for futuristic beehives

Francesco Mondada, Robert Thomas Edmund Mills, Robert Matthew Mills

Honeybees are essential to human society, providing pollination services globally as well as producing honey and other valuable products. Effective management of apiaries should not only rely on beekeeper knowledge and skill, but also incorporate new infor ...

Influence of micro-patterned support properties and interfacial polymerization conditions on performance of patterned thin-film composite membranes

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Cédric Karel J Van Goethem

Patterned membranes prepared via spray-modified non -solvent induced phase separation (s-NIPS) have successfully shown enhanced fluxes and better fouling control, thanks to the increased surface area and high fluid shear at the membrane/feed interface. The ...

TTool: A Supervised Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Visual Pose Detector for Tool Heads in Augmented Reality Woodworking

Yves Weinand, Andrea Settimi, Julien Gamerro, Florian Aymanns, Naravich Chutisilp

We present TimberTool (TTool v2.1.1), a software designed for woodworking tasks assisted by augmented reality (AR), emphasizing its essential function of the real-time localization of a tool head’s poses within camera frames. The localization process, a fu ...

Degrees of Separation: A Flexible Type System for Safe Concurrency

Martin Odersky, Yichen Xu, Aleksander Slawomir Boruch-Gruszecki

Data races have long been a notorious problem in concurrent programming. They are subtle to detect, and lead to non-deterministic behaviours. There has been a lot of interest in type systems that statically guarantee data race freedom. Significant progress ...

Sustainability and Ethicality are Peripheral to Students’ Software Design

Bryan Alexander Ford, Siara Ruth Isaac, Pierluca Borsò, Aditi Kothiyal

The conceptual design phase is a fascinating moment to observe how a design task is interpreted, as the (often implicit) relative importance students accord to the various requirements and constraints offers a window into the thinking underpinning their de ...

Between the Pattern and the Type: A short parallel story

Vasileios Chanis

Historically speaking, the notion of the type was reintroduced to the larger architectural discourse as a direct consequence of the crisis of the Modern. The task of revisiting the forms of the past also dictated the return of architectural methods that ha ...

Mechanical Properties and Nanomotion of BT-20 and ZR-75 Breast Cancer Cells Studied by Atomic Force Microscopy and Optical Nanomotion Detection Method

Sandor Kasas, María Inés Villalba

Cells of two molecular genetic types of breast cancer-hormone-dependent breast cancer (ZR-75 cell line) and triple-negative breast cancer (BT-20 cell line)-were studied using atomic force microscopy and an optical nanomotion detection method. Using the Pea ...

A semi-automated workflow paradigm for the distributed creation and curation of expert annotations

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Fabian Claude Moss, Markus Franz Josef Neuwirth, Johannes Hentschel

The creation and curation of labeled datasets can be an arduous, expensive, and time-consuming task. We introduce a workflow paradigm for remote consensus-building between expert annotators, while considerably reducing the associated administrative overhea ...

From local resynchronization to global pattern recovery in the zebrafish segmentation clock

Andrew Charles Oates

Integrity of rhythmic spatial gene expression patterns in the vertebrate segmentation clock requires local synchronization between neighboring cells by Delta-Notch signaling and its inhibition causes defective segment boundaries. Whether deformation of the ...

Virtual ADTs for Portable Metaprogramming

Martin Odersky, Nicolas Alexander Stucki

Scala 3 provides a metaprogramming interface that represents the abstract syntax tree definitions using algebraic data types. To allow the compiler to freely evolve without breaking the metaprogramming interface, we present virtual algebraic data types (or ...

Structured light engineering using a photonic nanojet

Toralf Scharf, Maryam Yousefi, Daniel Necesal

In this Letter, we present the photonic nanojet as a phenomenon in a structured light generator system that is implemented to modify the source focal spot size and emission angle. The optical system comprises a microlens array that is illuminated by a focu ...

Hardware and Software Interfaces Design for Multi-Panel Electrochemical Sensors

Mandresy Ivan Ny Hanitra

The exponential growth of wearable healthcare devices market is fostered by the internetof- things (IoT) era. Connected smart biosensors enable a decentralized healthcare that does not constrain the user to be in a medical facility to get a real-time insig ...

Synthesis of Kit-of-parts Structures for Reuse

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Gennaro Senatore, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Alex-Manuel Muresan, Ioannis Mirtsopoulos

This paper shows a computational workflow to design a kit of parts consisting of linear bars and spherical joints that can be employed to assemble, take apart, and rebuild diverse reticular structures, e.g. gridshells and space frames. Being able to reuse ...

Learning from Failures: Reflections on the Role of Project Design and Design Management in the Procurement of Non-Standard Buildings

Paolo Tombesi

The opening of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao in 1997 heralded the beginning of an era in world architecture defined by iconic buildings underpinned by mediatic exposure and the belief in the power of design to leverage urban conditions. Today, a conspicu ...

Safe Initialization of Objects

Martin Odersky, Fengyun Liu, Paolo Giosuè Giarrusso, Ondrej Lhoták

Every newly created object goes through several initialization states: starting from a state where all fields are uninitialized until all of them are assigned. Any operation on the object during its initialization process, which usually happens in the cons ...

Design Patterns for Resource-Constrained Automated Deep-Learning Methods

Prakhar Gupta

We present an extensive evaluation of a wide variety of promising design patterns for automated deep-learning (AutoDL) methods, organized according to the problem categories of the 2019 AutoDL challenges, which set the task of optimizing both model accurac ...

Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is reused: structural design for a circular economy

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting

Structural designers’ efforts to reduce environmental impacts traditionally consist of developing systems that minimise material quantities or use low-impact materials. A third strategy is currently (re)emerging: the reuse of structural components over mul ...
